Indicate the opposite result. AS to the
endorsement resolutions, there is
greater difficulty to forecast the &C
ton of the convention. The differ
ences between President Roosevelt
and the senators over various legisla-
tive measures at Washington led to a
doubt whether the same endorsement
could be given all, but the action of
the Hamilton county convention on
Saturday in giving hearty commenda-
ton to both the president and the
senators is regarded in some quarters
as indicating the action of the con-
vention.
Myron T. Herrick, who was defeat
ed in his contest for reelection as
governor last fall, will be the temper
airy presiding officer, and it is now be-
lieved that Governor Harris, who, as
lieutenant governor, became chief ex-
ecutive on the death Of Governor Pat
tison, will be chosen as permanent
chairman.
Senators Foraker and Dick, Con-
gresham Burton, Hon. Harry Daugh-
erty and other leaders are on the
ground.

delegates SO far as known, Harry NJ.
Daugherty, one of the chief opponents
,of the senators, said: 1.-The result of

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-The restrain
ing influence of the coming January
settlement asserted itself on the stock
market again today. A shifting OF
loans began early in the day which ran
the call loan rate up to Is per cent
and dislodged some holdings of stocks
The covering of short contracts which
was affected in yesterdays rising mar
ket left that of today deprived OF that
much demand. There was evidence as
well as renewed pressure of liquidation
in the Hill stocks and the subscription
rights for st. Paul ran off in way TO
argue ill for the prospective demand
for the new stock.
new story was in circulation that
a large speculative holding of the Hill
stocks which was in a vulnerable posi-
tion had been taken over a private
sale and it was hoped that this wouId
relieve the stocks from the pressure OF
the liquidation which has weighed on
them for several weeks and the re-
newed depression was more disappoint-
ing Long decline in these stocks gaNe
rise to the disquieting rumors about the
stock exchange today of damage which
might result. These rumors We're dls-
credited in well informed quarters ana
nassed out of consideration when prices
began to recover late in the day This
was after the principal money require
ments had been met at the STOCK eN-
change. AS loans made today carry
over until Monday. which is the last
day of the year, there was growth IN
the feeling of confidence that year-end
would be bridged without violent
furry in the money market
The contrast in the action of the
stock market in view of this tranquil
condition in the call money market
with the rapid rise in stocks at this
time last year when money went TO
1926 per cent on call. was the subject OF
much comment The most plausible
expla nation of the contrast is the more
widespread stringency in the world
money market this year which OBJ
structed the efforts of the holders OF
securities on margin TO secure resources
for carrying them in foreign markets
and thus to ignore the fluctuations In
the local rate.
The usual estimate of the currency
movement showed balance in favor OF
New York, a large proportion of which
was believed to be by receipts from
Canada.
The news of the death of President
Cassatt of the Pennsylvania railroad
was of almost no effect on the stock
market. and did not come as surprise.
