surplus funds of the government for the

no immediate need for taking action. In

Conditions Abroad.

The London stock market was reaction
airy because of revived anxiety as to money
market conditions at that point, due to the
resumption OF gold exports to Egypt.
Nevertheless there was no substantial
change In the rates for either call or time
loans at that point For some reason for
eign houses were quite heavy buyers in
this market, notably of United States Steel
common. which was. in fact. one of the
strongest stocks on the whole list.
The market opened irregular and fuetu
ated in an irregular fashion throughout the
business session. In the main its tendency
was heavy but not remarkably so, in view
of the excessive rates which were quoted
for loans on call AS had been commonly
assumed, In view of yesterday increase in
the rates of dividend, on Michigan Central
and Lake Shore, the dividend on New York
Central was raised today to an annual
basis of per cent, to which circumstance
the stock gave some early reflection, but
later moved in common with the remainder
of the market.
AtchiSon likewise showed a relative de-
gree of strength, which was presumably
based upon the intelligence with regard
TO the increase in the capitalization of the
company, which it was assumed would
imply the issue of privileges of some val
Ne.
