NEW YORK. January 1S-This mornings
stock market continued extremely unsettled.
although there was no more definite expla-
nation of its tendencies than was available
yesterday. The dealings were In very large
volume and represented renewed hqulda-
ton and further aggressive operations for
the short account.
The absence OF any clear and definite
reasons for yesterday afternoons sharp
break in prices served only to increase the
general feeling of uneasiness. AS was the
case then innumerabe rumors were current
with regard to the credit of various firms
and individuals, but naturally there was lit
tie to be ascertained In this respect.
In the early dealings generally steadier
tone prevailed but by the end of the first
hour the market was plunged into renewed
confusion. There was no actual news over
night of a financial character.
The London stock market was heavy
with particular unsettlement in the Ameri-
can department. consequent upon yester-
days severe decline in the New York mar
ket The outlook for an extremely strong
bank statement appeared to cut no figure
whatever in the trading. All departments
of the market moved along the same lines:
The Canadian stocks were exceptionally
heavy but sharp declines occurred also
In the Hill shares, ST. Paul, Union Pacific,
Readiing and Baltimore and Ohio.
The United States Steel shares showed
less pressure than on yesterday, as did
Amalgamated Copper.
The bank statement was in accord with
the general expectations, and the figures
provided a close technical balance. Actual
cash increased s1S,19S,060, the loan &C
count increased So, las, 600 and the deposit
item rose $33, $4,000. Reserves increased
50 S2OO OO and the banks now hold SIS. 46O.-
90 in excess Of the lawful requirements.
Surplus reserves in the corresponding week
Of last year were $40, I64, 600. in 1905 $685.
733 900 and in 1904 SIC, 012 ,0OO.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

With the bear movement still in progress
| in the New York stock market it was not to
be expected there would be much activity at
the meeting of the stock exchange here to-
day. While there is no connection between
the two markets, yet the condition at the
larger center is apt to influence to a greater
| or less extent what is done in the more re-
stricted market of this city.
While what is known as liquidation is go
ing On in Wall street there Is nothing of the
sort noticeable in the local market. The
bids recorded today were in some instances
kept at safe distance from the asking
price. but at the same time the tendency TO
sell was not strong enough to bring ABOUT
much change in the figures.
There was nothing that developed to indi-
cate a change in the situation and there
was no farther movement in the direction
Of lower figures which was manifest day
or so ago.
The explanation of why the stock market
has not responded to the influence OF an
since the early part of the month. IL based
by the Wall Street Journal on three gen
eral influences. The first Is that 1t Is the
result of an over production of securities
This latter Is attributed to an overcon-
sumption OF commodities The demand Tor
iron and copper manufactured products OF
all kinds and transportation. and that In
order to catch up with this demand the
corporations have been obliged to call for
additional capital to extent that more
securities have been issued and offered to
the public than the public has been able
to take.
The second reason assigned for this de-
cline is the chill produced or supposed to
be produced. upon the investing world by
the Hartman investigation.
A third cause assigned is the policy OF
Theodore Roosevelt. Undoubtedly from a
large point of view. according to the same
authority, what has taken place In the
stock market is for the ultimate relief OF
the business situation. Liquidation such as
is going on is unpleasant. 1t acts like a
cathartc: but 1t affords just the remedy
needed for q condition of congestion In
credits.
AS to the outlook 1t is stated that opin-
ions differ Some look for year of some
degree Of business recession. On the other
hand, there are those. who nave faith in an
other notable advance movement. The
former declare that the decline Is the be-
ginning of the recession, and the latter that
the decline Is the necessary and proper
preparatfonHfor the advance.

CONSIDERATION ASKED FOR.
Appeal to the Speaker for the Noun
tain Forest Reserve Bill.


delegation representing the states in
terested in the White mountain and Appa-
lachian forest reserves called on Speaker
Cannon at the Capitol yesterday and urged
him to permit the House to consider the
bill providing for the creation Of these re-
serves. Gov. Glenn Of North Carolina was
the spokesman for the party, and among
the prominent men with him were Gov.
Floyd and Col Marcelus Gould. New
Hampshire; Theophilus Parsons. Massa-
chusetts Lieut.. Gov. Prouty, Vermont, and
Joseph 1. Pratt, state geologist of North
Carolina
After Gov Glenn had finished his appeal
for the bill providing for the forest re-
serves Speaker Cannon said that the meas
ure is Of such importance that there will
scarcely be an opportunity to give it con-
sideration in the short time which yet
remains Of the present session, but he as
sured the delegation that he intends to
study the measure carefully and read the
state report on it at the time 1t passed
that body as well as the favorable report
made by the House committees on agricul-
ture.
