NEW YORK, December Silt is be-
lleved that the stock market will continue
today to reflect the Improvement that has
taken place in the banking situation. but
that 1t may be somewhat irregular on
proht taking. 1t is known in the best
INFORMED circles that the banking situa-
ton Is decidedly better and promises TO
Improve steadily from this time on. While
the most active SPECTATORS may be in
nuehced to some extent In their opera
ions by the extremely optimistic reports
mat have appeared in some Of the news
papers recently regarding the probab ility
or very general revival in business after
ehe hrst OF the year, it Is known that
those IN closest touch with the financial
ana business situation throughout the
country will not be so Influenced
Those Of skeptical turn Of mind have
maintained that the strength of the mar
kee was largely due to window dressing
operations to enable financial institutions
inEs OF securities at the end Of the year.
ano tnat very early in the new year the
market would again sell of. This is not
the opinion of the most conservative and
best informed observers but. on the other
lily In the trading, and believe that Il viii
ne confined for a while chiefly to the
operations OF the professional element and
70 the reinvestment Of a part Of the large
January disbursements.
i i
IN connection with the latter point. II
is thought that investors will be inclined
10 put their money in bonds to a greater
extent than they have been wont to do
since the leading stocks have fSered
such attractive returns on the purchase
price In fact. the bond houses think
tnat their business will be better during
the early months of the new year than
II has been for long time.

Prominent railroad presidents and
other ofaciais Of large corporations To-
Gated In various sections Of the United
states who have recently como to New
York say that they are as much con-
fused regarding the immediate future
OF the business situation as are interests
IN this city which have not had an op-
portunity to travel about the country.
NEE, business men and make observe
practically all that is being printed rep
resents purely personal opinions, and
that one possesses about az much value
as another. In other words. they say
that there is very little tangible data
On which to make a def,nite and valuable
prediction
On one point. however. most OF the
prominent officials Of railroads and In
dustrtal corporations who have come here
revival Of business. particularly in the
iron and steel trades, will not come at
as early date as has been predicted in
recent press dispa tches.

NEW YORK. December 3l.-The course
of prices in today's stock market was
again determined in large measure by op-
era'.ons of strictly professional charac-
ter. Inasmuch as prices have advanced
recently. it was perhaps nothing more
than logical that they should have shown
Irregular and generally speaking reac-
tionary tendencies today. Aside from the
fact that this was the last day of the cal
endar year there was no particular rea-
son for the closing out of speculative COM
mttments upon the long 81 of the ac-
count
At the same time there was a good deal
of comment upon the very discouragirs
statement of the Atchison company for
the month of November. and a good deal
of conjecture as TO the rate OF dividend
which would he declared upon Anaconda
Mining. II was. of course. commonly
assumed that any further reduction in the
responding curtailment in the dividend
upon Amalsamated Copper. At the same
time neither stock was notably conspic-
uous in the days transactions.
Money market circumstances showed
little alteration. and the premium on cur
rency was maintained At little more than
a nominal basis. The London stock mar
ket continued fairly buoyant. chiefly be-
cause of the relief felt there at the disap-
pearance of the American demand for
gold. but very little vas done here for
foreign account. Another factor in the
strength of the London stock market was
the expectation that the discount rate OF
the Bank OF England would be reduced
