In the World of Finance and Trade
TRADERS MONOPOLnE
new YORK EXCHANGE
Public Too Badly Hurt to Be Drawn
Easily Into Market.

Nsw York. Dec. N-Today's market
could be summed UP very brteny oy say
ing that the professional trading crown
bouabt In the morning and sold out In
the afternoon ,.x 49,
Tne public had nothing to do with tine
movement one way or the otner: ou
sIders were too badly hurt by the COZ
Ianss of a week ago to be drawn again
ea asiIy into the wall Street speculation
Today's dealings bore the stamp Oh
professionalism more plainly than AT any
time in the last five months. A market
Of less than 10000 shares Is dun mar
ket these days ..S
II was very narroY speculation ootn
vays, While traders were In tne puyIns
mood. prices ran up easily TWO points
for the war shares, a point for the rams.
Then when everybody tried to sen at
once. the demand suddenly disappeared
and the list fell away as quickly as IL
had risen.
sneculators do not care to carry stocks
over night This accounts for tne eo-
rupt slurnps that occur at the close o.
a day IN which the early part Is oe'oteu
to making higher prices. ~
Wall Street was afraid that the oeaay
in Carranza's reply to the Atlantic CITY
,,rotocoI meant that he would refuse to
accent the terms Of the agreement Ior
the policing Of the border, and tnat tne
Mexican situation would again become
acute. ,..
Stocks Of companies which have large
interests at stake In Mexico were no
tioeably weak. Also there was a re-
newal of liquidation in Maxwell Motors
on the idea that the opposition OF tne
nreferred shareholders. which led TO the
rssiSnation of a prominent ohicial Of the
company a week ago. pIesaged the pass
ing of the coming dividend. Some OF the
other motor shares sold down In sym
pathy. 49,.
These weak points, developed at time
u,hsn thu trading element were looking
20 ell accelerated the afternoon decline.
There was no real dgnihcance 10 the
weakness at the close, which was purely
superficial.
even though Il was not taken INTO ac-
count in the IMMEDIATE speculation, was
the lowering Of the call money rate. can
loan renewals were fixed at 3 l-2 per cent
az against I per cent yesterday, and new
money was obtainable freely at per
cent.
This reduction, coming within forty
eight hours Of the time when prepara-
tions for the huge January settlements
must be completed. was very signlncSn. a,nt
happening. It showed as nothing else
could show, the change in the temper
of the banking community toward the
stock market. It meant that lenders
were again ready to put out their funds
On stock exchange collateral, whereas q
fortnight ago they had turned the cold
shoulder to brokerage houses which had
only Industrial stocks to offer as colat-
eral.
1t was interesting testimony to the arti-
fetal character Of the money furry In the
- ha y,oOpfh If showed that
the Is per cent call rate was not due In
the least degree to the state of bank re-
sources, but as simply a club to make
Wall Street speculators get out Of their
stocks.
Steel common was well taken all day
on intimations of another extra dividend
to shareholders IN January.
