there to-day. One failure OF some Importance
occurred In the American department of the
London Stock Exchange, but II was declared
that more extended troubles which were threat
ened by the coming periodical settlement there
would be prevented. There some large
buying for London account in this market dur
ing the early trading. but this was largely Of
arbitrage character American securities
seemed 70 have been oyersold by the bears in

important factor in to-days rally Aside from
this buying the days business unimpor-
tant. aud the aggregate transactions in fact
fell 70 near the lowest figure for the year thus
fur Only a few days carry in January show
4 smaller total The movement of prices was
q creeping one in accordance with the small
business doing. While the buying became little
more than nominal. there WAS small pressure
to sell The excessive dullness at the advance
is warning Of the unwillingness OF operators

The approach Of the period for going into ef-

Is generally expected that professional trading
oDerat tions viii be hampered b. the operation
Of the new law. The small inclination shown
by Pennsylvania stockholders TO subscribe for
the new convertible bend fssue, the application
reaching only 10 per cent, is regarded as a
investment. 1t is noted in the same connection
that number of recent bond aotations are
quoted in the market below the underwriting
price. There was some discussion OF the Pres-
dents remarks in his Denver speech on Federal
supervision and regulation of corporations and
the consideration OF the coming discussion in
Congress was thus revived. Final prices
showed only slight concessions from the top.
