stated at the interstate commerce
commission today. AS soon as the

ed at conclusion that is reasonable

While railroads have been advised
ia the orders of the commission that
they must give 10 days notice before
the new rates are to become effective,
they can file their new tariffs with the
commission any time within six

NEW YORK. Dec. 19.-On the stocI
exchange business was extremely
light today. Prices were inclined tc
remain at small advances over yes
terday's closings, with few substan
tial gains, The real news of the day
comprised the overnight reduction in
its Official rate by the New York re-
serve bank; an action partly, no
doubt, explained by the days decline
Of more than one-half cent in sterling.
The market went today below the par
Of exchange, reaching not only the
lowest rate since the outbreak Of
Europe's war, but the lowest since
the middle OF last April. That this
4 decided movement in our favor should
occur In the face of the continuous
decline in money rates, ii evidence OF
our distinctly stronger economic posi-
ton.
Only week has passed since open
trading in stocks was resumed on the
exchange; yet it is probable that the
most experienced financier in Wall-st.
would hesitate, today, in drawing con-
illusions as to exactly what the weeks
movement OF prices signifies.
Professional Waists favorite the
DRY is that genuine upward move
ment had got under way, with pros
poets of the continuance, but the evil
dence OF European selling suddenly
stopped the rise, reducing the market
10 deadlock. Similarly, when the
rate decision was announced and
prices. after brief advance. relapsed
Into the previous dullness and uncer-
tainty. one began to hear that this
must mean disappointment over the
rate award. ..
