with prices all but mottonless. This
would have been natural under any
circumstances. with one holiday yes

the present instance, there was partic-
ular reason for deferrtng transactions
ON the market. On Monday, the Lon.

resume operations on an extremely
restricted scale: there will be no open
bids or offers, no "bear selling, no
dealing on arbitrage account; and.
what more especially concerns our
stock exchange, no transactions In
American shares viii be allowed at
prices below the LONDON equivalent OF
the New York minimum
This will scarcely admit the possi-
bility OF what Is known as Q free
market" Yet our own experience,
even under the severe restrictions
prior to the re-opening Of Nov. 2S and
Dec IL. taught US that natural ten
dsncies are bound to find expression.
In due course, they will reflect the
London Judgment Of the situation, and
we shall know, for instance, exactly
how great importance II attached on
that market to such an event as the
