duction Of the Bank Of England r"'
from ! TO a. per cent. which had peeh
confidently looked for. gave indication
~ easy conditions in the London money
market. and the local market rates de-
clined still further. The copper ana
car surplus figures pointed to recession
in business activity, and il was after
their publication that the course oil
stock prices began 20 show downward
tendency
After the market closed it became
known that a small group Of Union "a
cifc preferred stockholders was to test
I'm the courts its asserted right TO
share I'm the distribution Of the com
pany's holdings OF Baltimore & ONO
This Will be stoutly contested by the
management whose action in uniting
the distribution to the common stock
must be presumed TO have been taken
upon the advice of eminent counsel
and whose belief in the correctness u
that action syas rcaffirmed by the man
agement following the formal ratifica-
ton Yesterday by the board Of the reso-
luton adopted by the executive COM
mittee earlier in the week. Union Pa
cihc common declined about point
yesterday, but there was no activity
in the preferred and no significant
movement Of the convertibles
New Haven sold off u points prob
ably on the unsatisfactory earnings
statement for November, although a
favorable showing could hardly have
been expected. and partly also on re-
ports that a hitch had developed in the
negotiations between the representa-
tives Of the company and of the De-
partment of Justice. American Sugar
common was conspicuously weak, fall
ing more than points and closing 3ss
down, on reports OF poor earnings.
The statement OF the Bank of Eng
land showed a striking improvement
over last week, with its increase in gold
Of 2,127 go; its increase in reserve Ct
Is per cent, from SO TO 40, the highest
percentage for this date in many ears.
and its heavy reduction in loans and
deposits. The report Of the Bank of
France also was a favorable one in its
very large loan reduction, although its
holdings Of the precious metals were
decreased by relatively small amount.
The report Of the Copper Producers
Association indicated rather disquiet-
ing increase in the surplus stocks,
which had nearly doubled in size with
in the month of December, chiefly uv,-
ing to a heavy shrinkage in domestic
sales, production in December having
been only about 100000 pounds great
er than in the preceding month. The
idle car report. which reflects country
wide conditions and general industrial
and mercantile demand. was more dis
turbing, showing as it did a net in
crease in idle freight cars in the last
two weeks Of December Of S1,30J, the
total now being the largest since May
10, 1911, and comparing with 1903
cars at the beginning of 1912 and 40
159 at the corresponding date year
previously.
