 A good demand for bonds Is one of the most satisfactory features, lnyes-
 tors seem inclined to discriminate against stocks, because of ther high level and because there are numerous good bonds to be had at about a per cent, level, Stocks have had fair de- cline since the rise following the elec-
 tion but not sufficient to tempt the conservative investor, who Is more
 anxious to keep his capital intact than to secure large dividend returns. This
 cauttousness on the part of the inves- tor Is conspicuous and is one of the af- ter effects of the panic There is plenty
 of capital awaiting good Investments, but no over-conhdence in seeking it's
 employment January disbursements are estimated at about Sls0,000O00. or
 practically the same as last year Some
 decline was shown in dividends to be
 dlsbursed, but this was offset by ln- creased Interest payments, due chiefly l to new bond issues by the railroads. | The railroad situation is gradually lm- proving, Earnings are beginning to make favorable comparisons with panic period of last year and in spite of idle
 cars many of which no doubt should
 be in the scrap heap, the volume of traffic Is almost up to that of 1906, so
 with better rates and economical oper- ation the railroad outlook for 1909 is quite satisfactory This fact has no i doubt much to do with the confidence 1 which the market leaders still display ! concerning their speelaltles, Traders l have regarded the recent decline with
 some satisfaction, as it tends to en- courage activity. The technical situa-
 ton has unquestionably been improved < hy recent developments, and tho mar i ket shows an undertone which means renewed buying in case of further de-

HENRY CLEWS' VIEW
Money Market Dominating Fac tor, With Adverse Effect on
 Stocks Possible.
EFFECT OF GOLD EXPORTS
Good Demand for Bonds One of Most Satisfactory Features of the
 Situation.
Special to the JournnI-courlero

New York Dec. 25 Firmer call money declining bank reserves, con- traction in loans and resumption of gold exports naturally caused reaction In the stock market Added to this was the quleting effect of approaching holidays 1he money market Is again the dominating factor, and any further intensiflcation of tho above conditions would of course act adversely on stocks Timo money is plentiful at 3-i and 4 per cent, and seems likely to so continue for some time ahead. Mer- camille requirements should increase as trade Improves and large demands upon the money market seem probable from new security issues, but the fu- ture of time money for the next six
 months Is generally regarded with
 compIaconcy In call money tempora- ry strlngency is not impossible as high
 rates often occur in the closing week of the year previous to January dis bursements. By the middle ot next month, however, call money should be normal once more. The big shrinkage in bank reserves due largely 10 gov ernment withdrawals inspires a eau tionary feeling, especially as we should
 be facing a deficit in reserves had not
 loans undergone a sharp contraction of over S30 000,000 in tho last two weeks
 Our surplus reserve has reccded fully
 S5000O,000 during the last three or four months. so that there has been a heavy contraction of lending ability on part of the banks which must have materially restrained speculative activ- tiles. and no doubt largely explains the recent declines. There Is still noticen- ble and commendable spirit of con servatism among bankers. which while not dlscouraging healthy speculation turns a deaf ear to all questionable en- terprises and 'get-rich-qulck schemes" II is many years since banking was
 conducted on such sound and conscrva- tive lines as at present, and the results will unquestlonably be beneficial
 Gold exports were not important, but they invite attention to two facts. first,
 the continued extraordinary accumula ; ton of gold by the Bank of France, and
 second, the unsatisfactory state of our foreign trade Our exports of mer- chandlse in November were only Sl61.- 100000. a decrease of S4300O,0 GOO compar- ed with last year while our imports fell to sl0iOOO0OO or $7OOOOOo less than last year Roth exports and imports
 were the smallest in any November for several years, rehecting not only dull ness at home. but also abroad The excess of merchandise exports for the month was only s57OoO,Ooo. which was much less than usual and which in connection with the selling of Amerl- can securities would suggest further gold shipments were t not for January

veals the company that he in
tends TO keep and the strength
upon which he intends to rely for
election. On the evening of the
10th, he appeared at the Lieder-
krans Hall, in the northern part
of the city. The chairman of the
committee which was appointed
to escort Mr.. Hadley to the hall
was Mr.. Otto F. Stifel, one of the
big brewers of st. Louis.
The Republican candidate for
Governor madc very pleasant
speech of felicitation to the vot.
ers there assembled and suppos-
ed that the meeting was then to
be closed. Not so, however.
Judge Rassieur made a speech in
which he politely but positively
told Mr.. Hadley that he must de-
clare himself upon the burning
issue that is so dear to the heart
of the brewer and to the voters
there present.
But we will give our readers
the story as told by the Globe
Democrat and then there can be
no charge that Mr.. Hadley or
any other man present has been
misrepresented. In response
10 the the demand of Judge Ras-
sieur that he declare himself, Mr..
Hadley again spoke:

"His remarks were widely
cheered. Gen Hadley made this
declaration upon the suggestion
of Judge Leo Rassieur, who in
an impassioned speech called up
on him to state his position upon
this matter. Gen. H ad y
thought that he was to state his
position at some future time and
started to leave the hall when the
banquet was adjourned. A
friend whispered to him that he
was expected to declare himself
then. While the crowd of more
than 300 stood, Gen. Hadley, ir
ringing tones, made his position
clear and concluded his remarks
with a roar of cheers about him,
