Early Decline More Than Made
Up After Announcement of
Ruling of Commission
MARKET INACTIVE AT
CLOSE OF EVENTFUL DAY
Restraining Possibilities OF Lon
don Markets Attitude Still
Affects Sentiment
(Copyright, 1914, by the New York
Evening Post Company,

t"Ost tenpuuy'f
NEW YORK, Dec. lS.-Tnst the
railway rate decision was the para
mount influence on today's financial
markets, there can be NO doubt. II
was not the sole influence, because
the sharp decline In prices. during the
hour and half before the interstate
commerce commission S announcement
was made public, showed that the re-
straining possibilities OF the London
markets attitude were still affecting
New York financial sentiment This
early decline carried down prices Oh
numerous active stocks one TO one
and a half points below yesterday
closings. Towards midday, news OF
the rate decision came Unexpectedly
and prices. especially for stocks OF the
companies directly concerned In that
decision, quickly recovered all OF their
early loss, and more. subsequent
reaction, based on contradictory
statements as to what the decision
really granted to the railways, was
followed by another though more de
1iberate upward movement. Then the
market became again inactive, with
declines in some stocks at the last.
II Is not easy to dispute the con-
clusion that the rate decision means
the winning OF their case by the east
ern railways. The Publications ex-
pressed today as TO this conclusion
which led TO some estimates that, on
the average, only two-thirds or the
i've per cent advance had been allow
ed--were mainly based on the exclu-
sion of coal and coke from the al
vance.

There is scientific truth as well as
poetry il the proverb TO the effect
that the night is darkest just before
dawn. An authority says: Before
dawn a greater darkness seems TO
drop down like mantle upon the i'm
mediate surroundings. Objects that
were plainly visible during the pre-.
vious hours OF the night are blotted
ont, and "a nervous feeling is some
times induced by the dense opacity
OF the air"
