LONDON, Dec. 22.-There was only a
small volume of business in securities on
the stock Exchange today, and generally
the markets were steady. The debate in
the House of Commons on the increase
in the army was without effect.
Americans showed stability. but were
quiet. Official circulars on the scheme
for the mobilization of American and
Canadian securities were issued to bank
crs and brokers today for distribution to
their clients.
Canadian descriptions were firm and
the tone Of South America rails was
hard. Price changes in the gilt-edgcd
section were mixed. In the foreign de-
partment the feeling was cheerful The
now French loan was strong Mt SiA
Rubber moved upward in sympathy with
the staple.
The national expenditure last week
was GiS0OO, 0C0 sterling. Outstanding
treasury bills were increased by G12SO0.-

ference by the allied Powers with Amer
lean commerce. the entire British diplo-
matte situation will be aired in Congress
as soon as 1t reconvcncs.
Congressional opposition has developed,
principally among Southern members Of
