Yesterdays Market--Flattened
Out When Relieved of the
Selling Pressure.

New York, Jan. 12.-The manner
in which the stock market aattened
out today when relieved from selling
pressure was less discouraging to the
speculative sentiment than the active
declines of the two earlier days OF
the week During the noon hour
sales Of stocks were less than 10000
shares. and ii was during that time
that the period of practical stagna-
ton of prices rested at the top level
OF the day Al the same time the re-
ports from the loan crowd on the
floor Of the stock exchange were of a
more active demand for stocks for
delivery than has been witnessed for
weeks
This evidence Of substantial
growth of the short interest coupled
with the tranquility in the face of
the cheek to the downward course Of
prices was regarded as omnous. The
money market situation is substan-
tally improved After opening at
per cent rates receded thus lowering
the maximum rate of yesterday and
the day before and establishing the
lowest ruling rate of the year.
The current redemptions of bank
notes are at an enormus scale, and
the daily gain of New Yrk banks on
sub-treasury operations are due, in
no small part to the presentation
there for redemption of bank notes
received from the interior, and which
is thus converted into legal reserve
money.
News from Washington serves as
a reminder Of the factors at work
which are regarded as unfavorable to
the cause OF speculation. The al
yanees made by the Union Pacific
authorities to compromise the suits
under the antitrust law convey APP

not lovely, Edward?'
Edward replied that they were all
that the heart of man could desire.

They don't usually kiss people
