FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
FEELING OF DIsoUIET
Seems to Hover Over the Stock Mar.
 ket-Very Dull Trading. E.

| New York, Dec. 17.-A state of
 neglect, such as the stock market fell into today, is sometimes ascribed to
 holiday dullness." It was not entire l ly free today from a feeling of dis quiet as being due possibly to some
 unfavorable factor underlying the sit
 uation. The continued strength of the l foreign exchange market kept atten-
 tion. on the possibility of gold exports.
 Discounts were firmly held in London
 today. The conduct of the political
 campaign is expected to prolong the
 strain in London beyond the end of the year. What may be the effect on
 the New York market becomes of re-
 newed interest in view of expected
 large requirements during January for
 subscription to new capital offerings.
 The problem Is complicated by the ma
 turity during the same period of Lon
 don obligations to the Bank of France for gold advances during the period of stringency. At the same time there are large maturities of American in- debtedness to European borrowers during that period. A relaxation in New York money rates evidently was counted upon at the period of these maturities. The promise of a sub stantial increase for the week in New
 York's cash in banks was grateful. un- der the circumstances, and the appear ance of the preliminary estimates of the weeks currency movement was followed by decided show of strength in stocks. Allowing for the weeks export of million dollars in gold, the banks have gathered apparently from the interior and from the sub-treasury upwards of $7,S00,000. The effect of the increase in the Louisville and Nashville dividend proved more stimu- lating than did the Reading increase. q hak r+1
 but Atlantic Coast Line benefited from it's holdings of a majority of the Louisville and Nashville sIocK. while it's collateral bonds issued against that stock jumped a full ten points on enormous dealings to a record price above par. The movement gave rise to surmises of a redemption of the bonds to release the stock, as was done in the case of Rock Islands holding of St. Louis and San Francisco stock. The bonds subsequently, fell back sev- eral points without touching the re- demption price, which is 1e5. Supplies offered in the money market increased largely after the publication of the weeks Currency movement. Large sums were placed on call at four per cent, carrying over until Monday. The bid price on ninety day and six months loans fell to four and quarter per cent. This was considered the more significant in view of the payment due tomorrow of a $25, 100000 installment on subscriptions to new Pennsylvania stock. The reviving effect on the market fell short of animation and the later trading continued very dull with the final tone firm. Bonds were r. regular. Total sales, par value $6.- 949,000. United States twos coupon ad- vanced Is and the registered S-S per cent. on call.

MULDooN PICKS JACK JOHNSON. Thinks Jeffries Lacks the Stamina for
 Long Fight.

William Muldoon. who once trained John l.. Sullivan, and is an expert in physical culture when asked the other day for an opinion of the Jeffries-J -John- son mill, said:
 'I would like to see Jeff win, but l fear he has been out of the ring too long. I should not be at all surprised to see the outcome of the fight similar to that between Jim Corbett and John l.. Sullivan. When men get along in years they wear down in any contests involving strength and stamina. espe- cially when they have been inactive for several years. It's a sure thing that Jeff will never be able to punch the bag as long and as hard as he could six years ago, and that is the best indication that he will never be the same.
 T look for Johnson to win. but in the early rounds he must take care not to let, Jeffries get one in on him CT there will be some counting Jeff will be dangerous with his punches for a while, but the negro can tire him out by adopting defensive tactics, espe- cially in a 45 round fight"

Yale wishes the races to be roWed on the Saturday after the Yale com mencement, which will be the Satur- day before the Harvard commence ment. Harvard wants the race held at present, on Thursday. the day after the Harvard commencement, which will be eight days after Yale com mencement. At present the regatta is held the day after both the Yale and Harvard commencement. It is difficult to see how the matter will be adjusted

Aitken Drives His Car in Furious

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 17.-Racing against freezing wind, Johnny Ait ken. in a National today broke all worlds records for distances of from one to twenty miles at the Indianap- oils motor speedway. So severe was the cold that lubricating oil on some of the racing machines froze and final ly forced the contestants to quit the races against time. It is probable that no attempt will be made to run the scheduled events on tomorrow s programme because of the cold wealth er
 Aitken's dash was in the twenty mile time event. He covered the twenty miles in 16.1S.4. Aitken's time for five miles was 4.06.56.
 He went ten. miles in S.12.10 and fifteen miles in 12.17.01.
 At Rate of 103 Miles Per Hour.
 Walter Christie with his freak racer and Louis Strang with a 200-horse- power Fiat were unable to lower rec ords because ef the low temperature Christie, however. ran a quarter-mile in SIS, thereby settin ga new Ameri- can record for the distance. This was at the rate of 103 miles an hour
 Strang established a new record for the Indianapolis motor speedway by driving one mile in .40.61. The pre- vious record for the speedway was 43.6, established by Barney Oldfeld last August.
 Strang declares he can lower his mile record of 37.71 made at Atlanta on the newly paved Indianapolis course.
