NEW YORK, December 1S--A further
and striking decline in American Smelling
stock was again today held accountable
for the unsettled state of the market at
large. The various superficial eXplana-
lions of the great decline in American
Smelling have by this time perhaps been
suff1ciently thrashed out, and at any rate
there was nothing new to be added to the
list or ills from which the company has
been suffering and with which it is threat
ened.
American Smelling did not today de-
Veiop pronounced weakness until after the
noon hour. During the morning that
stock, along with the market at large
moved irregularly. but when it developed
fresh weakness after midday the whole
list sold off quickly and extensively in
sympathy. At all events little or moth
ing beyond the weakness of American
Smelling was referred to In connection
with the pressure upon the remainder of
the market
The outlook for tomorrow's bank state
ment is. of course. for a very heavy
reduction in surplus reserves and the pre-
uminary estimates of the principal move
ments in currency during the week
pointed to loss in cash by the banks
OF more than ST. 100000 a sum in ex-
cess of the total surplus reserves re-
ported In last weeks bank statement.
The Bank Statement.
Tomorrow's document will. of course,
contain counterbalancing entries in the
form of reduc, ons in loans and deposits
as well enough indicated by the mean
rates quoted today for money on call
The banks lost to the subtreasury alone
since last Friday more than $23, 450 900,
chiefly In connection with the payments
on account of the Panama canal bonds,
but they gained about $2.O9O, 900 on their
operations with the Interior
The outlook for the bank statement ap-
peared to play no part whatever in the
days transactions in the stock market,
and even the prospective revision Of the
tariff was temporarily dismissed from con-
sideration on account of the concentration
with interest upon the break in American
Smelling.
The industrial and miscellaneous group
was generally heavy. United States Steel
common was weak and active, as was
Amalgamated Copper. but in both in
stances there were clear enough indica-
tions that heavy operations for the short
account were in progress.
