FINANCIAL IAN

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-1n striking
scontrastto the heavy and excited trad
ing Of the last few days, the two hour
session OF the stock market today was
dull, with the comparatively meagre
turnover OF but 100000 shares.
Dealings We're curtailed largely in
consequence Of the approaching holt
days. Operations were almost entirely
limited TO professional traders intent
upon leaving clean slate" in the
present juncture Of uncertainty.
Irregular changes at the opening
were almost Immediately followed by
recessions Of one to three points, par
ticularly in stocks that figured i'm
portantly IN the previous days re-
bound. United States Steel fluctuated
between 7ss22 and 1853 closing at
1865 q loss Of one point. Bethlehem
Steel made an extremed decline of
fourteen points, with one to three for
related issues.
Metals We're more unsteady than
other prominent shares. losing one to
almost three points. The bank state
ments reflected only In a mild way the
extraordinary movements Of the week,
induced chiefly by the enormous liqut-
dation. The nominal increase in act
ual loans, and the slight cash loss
were at utter variance with forecasts,
but these items are likely to undergo
further correction next week.
The moderate contraction of re-
serves leaves actual excess reserves
at about ninety million.
Mercantile contractions according to
trade review are likely to show some
dfication and reduction from recent
high pressure because OF prevailing
peace discussions.
There was virtually no market in
foreign exchange.
@ Bonds were steady on limited trad
lsfng. Total sales (par value) ], 320, 900.
United States bonds were un-
changed on call during the week.

PLEA OF NOT GUILTY
MADE BY GERMANY
RESPONSIBILITY FOX TORPEDO
ING BRITISH STEAMER SUSSEX
DENIED AT BERLIN.
Same Claim Also Made in Regard TO
Other Cases, 1t Being Asserted That
All Crafts That Might Have Been
involved Haye Been Heard From.

Berlin.-The German government Is
able to announce that no. German sub
marine or warship was responsible
for the explosion which damaged the
British steamer Sussex.
When Germany, ON April 5, handed
Ambassador Gerard an interim note
replying to the inquiries Of the United
States government regarding the Sus-
sex and four other steamers, the MAJ
ter of responsibility was still in doubt
and the investigation was still pro-
ceeding. The German foreign office,
appreciating the agitation in the Unit
ed States over these cases, trans
mitted an interim response, declaring
the readiness of the government,
should the Sussex prove to have been
destroyed by German torpedo con-
trary to the understanding with the
United States, to make all reparation,
including the payment of compensa-
ton.
1t is authoritatively announced that
the investigation has now been COM
pleted; that all the craft which might
possibly have been involved in an at
tack on the Sussex have reported and
that from the reports of their com
manders, It is absolutely certain tha'
the Sussex was not destroyed by q
German torpedo and that Germany Is
in no wise responsible for the disas
| ter.
From the material at hand it viii
also be possible to reply to the Amer
lean inquiries regarding the steamers
Englishman, Manchester, Engineer
Eagle Point and Berwindvale, and es
tablish, according to the German con
tention, that no blame attaches to Ger
many.

FIGHT CONTINUES
AROUND vERDUN
GERMANS ARE THROWING THEIR
BEST FORCES INTO THE FIGHT,
REGARDLESS OF THE COST.
Vigorous Offensive Continued by
Crown Princes Troops Nets Gain
Of But Few Trenehes-The
Situation in Russia.

London.-The armies of the German
crown prince around Verdun are still
vigorously on the offensive against the
French.
The Germans are throwing their
best forces into the fight regardless OF
the cost. BY now they have brought
up something like thirty-three divis-
ions 100000 mem.
Having delivered an attack along
the line from lie Mort Homme to Gu
mieres which netted them few small
portions OF French trenches on the
east OF LIE Mort Hemme, the German
commanders rested their infantry
here, but in the region of Douaumont-
Vaux, northeast of Verdun, threw their
men in large numbers against the
French trenches.
Here again they met with success,
but only for short period of time, for
the French in counter-attack drove
the invaders from advanced sections
Of the trenches they had captured, and
in the operations took about 100 Ger
man prisoners.
While the Douaumont-Vaux attack
was in progress the Germans had not
overlooked the line between LIE Mort
Homme and Cumieres, and covered the
entire region with an intense artillery
fire, probably preparing for another at
tack by infantry.
Along the remainder of the front in
France and Belgium there We're only
artillery bombardments. In one OF
these-north of the Aisne-the French
guns caused serious losses to strong
German column on the march
Grenade fighting in the craters east
Of st. Eloi has continued with vary
ing fortune.
In the Russian theatre an attempt by
the Germans to take the offensive In
the region OF the Ikskull bridgehead
was stopped by the Russians. The big
guns of both sides have been busy at
various points elsewhere along the
front.

Mr.. Hoyne said a written statement
had been made to him by an anarchist

SENATE EXTENDS THE PRESENT
DUTY OF ONE CENT A POUND
ON SUGAR UNTIL MAY, 1920.
Unless Agreement is Reached Be-
tween Two Houses and Approved
Before May I, Sugar Will Go

Washington.-The senate late Tues
day passed it's substitute for the house
free sugar repeal resolution, extend
ing the present duty of cent pound
on sugar until May, 1920. The vote
was 10 to 80.
Four Democrats, Senators Brous-
sard, Ransdell, Newlands and Lane,
joined the Republicans in voting
against the substitute. They favor
the fiat repeal passed by the house. A
sharp controversy in conference be
tween the two houses is predicted. An
ticipating that the house would insist
upon its resolution, Senators Sim
mons, Stone and Lodge were named
as the senate conferees.
Unless a conference agreement II
reached and approved before May 1
sugar will go on the free list unit
