the Pennsylvania eompany's dividend
was scarcely greater. On the other
hand, more particularly it was quite
weak on the circulation of rumors
throwing doubt on the maintenance of
its dividend at the present rate. One of
the days events that relieved the mar
ket from some pressure was the re-
taxation of the tension in the call mon
ey market. The high was IL per cent.
and there was a recession from that In
subsequent loans. There was less call
ing of loans by the banks and holders
of stocks were freed to that extent from
the pressure to sell. The relapse in the
rates for cables on London, pointed to
one source of relief. Yesterday there
was an active demand for remittance
by this method, which was ascribed TO
the approaching obligations to be met
at the end of the year in that market
to foreign holders of stocks and bonds
for dividends and interest. A rebound
of the London price of copper and tin
was of some assistance to industrial
stocks connected with the metal trades.
The London money market was helped
by the release of funds held in the
Bank of England to the order of the
Indian counsel, which served to take
up large offerings of German bills for
discount i'm London. The German mon
ey situation and the means to meet the
year-end requirements in that market
afforded anxiety in other financial CEN
ters.

ity of a few stocks, the mass of the

CONGESTION IN
DAYS DEALINGS
=. General Tone of the Market
Was Weak and of a Pro-
feSSionaI Character.
SOME TRADES IN READING
SHOWS UPWARD TURN AFTER
EARLY WEAKNESS.

New York, Dec. 1S.-The heavy con-
gestion of today's dealings in a few
stocks pointed unmistakibly to the pro-
fessional character of the market. This
was particularly marked in Reading, in
which orders for many thousands of
shares were executed from single
house. The fact that action was looked
for during the day on the dividend on
this stock added TO the interest i'll the
large transactions. Readings agrees
sive upturn, after early weakness, as
Iected the tone of the whole market in
sympathy. This was partly due TO the
covering of a professional short ac-
count. which has been built up in the
last few days in connection with the
talk OF the difficulties TO be met i'm con-
forming To the law against ownership
OF coal mines by the railroad COM
panies. which goes into effect May /.
The stock reacted on the regular div
idend declaration. New York Central
was an Indifferent shaTer in the gen.
eral uptuTH, in spite of the refutation
OF recent unfavorable rumors by the
declaration Of the quarterly dividend
at the Der cent rate inaugurated at
this time last year. This action was
foreshadowed by the declaration of the
extra dividend yesterday on Lake Shore
& Michigan Central, the two subsid
larry companies of the New York Cen
trail. The good impression made
by the maintenance of the dividend rate
was modified TO some extent by cOnsid-
Grafton of the earnings statement of
the companies. Even in the case of the
subsidiary companies the extra dis
bursements left the surplus showing
much below the conservative standards
of those companies. Without the eXpan-
sion of the parent companies other in
come which resulted from these extra
disbursements, the ability to maintain
the dividend rate out of current earn
ings. was plainly impaired. Not only
has the increase in operating expenses
for the last year far Outstripped the
growth in gross earnings, but the addi-
ton of new capital during the year
has enhanced the dividend requirement
on earnings, even at the unchanged
rate. The effect of the dividend decla-
ration, therefore, was not notably IA
vorable to the stock. The favorable ef-
feet on Pennsylvania of the increase in
