NEW YORK, Ncv. ei-The net re-

shauEe today were trivial The mar

during the session, and c4osed with
orices a shade better on the dsv
Operations were quite obviously. al
most entirely. professional Mere ir-
regularity in the trend Of quotations
was seen than on previous days dur
ins the week, and noticeable pressure
was applied to 81 few special issucs,
aut the volume of business was far too
small TO lend any real significance 10
fluctuations.
The continuation OF dizziness was
natural The news nf the day having
4 financial bearing presented no new
aspect and was In fact rather color
cess
No Change in News.
Particularly also the complexion Of
financial affairs was not changed az
regards the two main factors which
probably have more 10 do at the
present time with keeping sentiment
IN state of uncertainty. Tn 2
Mexican dispatches indicated no
.hauee in the status quo, between
his country and the neighhoring re-
public. and as such held out no hope
II any decisive development in this
situation in the near future. APP
aarently, therefore, on this score a
seriod Of prolonged waitir@ Is in sicht.
The delay In the matter Of the bring
ing out of the French government
loan which has been looked forward
TO as an event which would definitely
break the existing deadlock in the
great investment markets Of the world
I'D not help the duIlness,
Amalgamated copper stock was a
rather weak feature among the active
shares both II the London market and
on this side The feature of a coin
cident break in the metal market
abroad. however, was not convincing,
suggesting as II did speculative oper-
ations of a kind which have become
only too familiar. A sharp break in
the price of New Haven was thought
iiscouraging. because the market for
the stock has lately appeared to be
on the mend But the spectacle Of
weakness in that quarter has become
more or less isolated in the sense that
movements IN the stock have lost
much of their influence upon general
sentiment.
In the Money Market.
The only fresh developments dur
ing Tire day occurred IN the money
market Rather heavy engagements
of gold for Canada attracted n good
deal OF attention and stimulated dis
cussion OF the state of financial affairs
In the dominion. One explanation
suggested for this movement was that
1t represented remittances from the
other side of the Atlantic, represent
ing the proceeds of various Canadian
loans floated abroad and representing
also payments OF shipments of grain
TO Europe, the transfer of credits be-
ing made through New York, because
the position OF exchange favored the
operation. The influence of these
Withdrawals and the sending Of an
other $500. 000 to San Francisco was
naturally slight in view Of the pro
nounced inflow of cash to this center
from the interior Of the country.
The reported movements OF cur
rencv during the week showed an
other considerable net gain from all
quarters, indicating a strong clearing
house statement tomorrow.
