STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Prices Down on News from
MexiCo-Firmer at Close.

In view Of the overnight changes In
Mexican affairs, which had practically
brought to an end State relations with
the Huerta regime, the stock market
yesterday morning followed natural
course and sold down at the opening
The early trading was attended win
dulness and the Street was in state
Of expectancy, awaiting a statement II
was said. that would be made by Pres
ident Wilson reviewing the negotla-
tions in the last few weeks and defin-
ing the policy Of the United States III
its future Mexican relations. There
was a continued lower tendency IN
prices during most of the day untll
about the closing hour, when the mar
ket began to strengthen, and the CLOS
ing. while exhibiting irregularity'
showed prices chiefly above the low
points of the session.
One of the events which on the sur
face was calculated to have an al
verse effect on sentiment was the 1all-
ure of II. B. Hollins G. Co, but actu-
ally the announcement OF thls house
being in difficulties caused no excite
ment. and the market ignored the fall-
ure almost entirely. The weekly state
ment of the Bank Of England was most
favorable. Although reporting small
loss of gold. the showing of proper
tion Of reserve at 55.46 per cent, COM
pared with the ten-year average OF
47.S5 per cent for a corresponding
neriod. was convincing. The return as
whole dispelled any doubt regarding
the stability Of the banks position ana
confirmed former predictions OF hnah-
ciel interests that we are approaching
period Of easier money sufficient TO
meet financing requirements that have
been awaiting an opportune time for
announcement.
The return Of the Bank Of France.
also made public yesterday. displayed
strong position for that institution
Locally, the monetary position was
most encouraging, as the banks showed
n gain in reserves, while a week ago
loss was exhibited.
An abundance Of call money was
available at a renewal rate of 3s. per
cent and time money was unchanged
The news of the day included re-
port that the Interstate Commerce

Gently adopted Senate resolution II
was also current that within the next

mort ON the banking and currency
measure, which, it was rumored' VIII
have restored some OF the features
lately eliminated from the House DILL
Bankers in the financial district were
indifferent TO this information, as the
question has now been dragged along
until they are anxious to have the agl-
tation over and 10 secure some sort
of legislation, so that at least definite
basis viii be created on which to gauge
the future.
