New York Analysis.

The following analysis Of the New York
market situation was received yesterday
by W. B. Hibbs and Co., from Logan
and Bryan, their New York representa-
tfves:
For the first time in quite a while
the market displayed distinct indications
Of weakness and long stocks were liqui-
dated in large volume. The interior buy
ing subsided greatly. and sentiment in
the East has become decidedly mixed,
with the professional element trying to
work on the selling side of the list on
the theory that the long account has be-
come somewhat over-extended and un-
stable and in need Of an adjustment.
The sinking of a large British troop
ship and some reports to the effect that
insurance rates have been raised on
American bottoms lent color to the i'm
preston that submarine activities may
again be a factor and Of course the near
approach Of the reconvening Of Congress
naturally tended to direct attention to
Washington advices as to the probable
character of new legislation proposals. As
stated recently, we believe that the in
dustrial position Is rather top-heavy and
that an adjustment Is IN order"

In the World of Finance and Trade
Three MILLION Share
DAY FEATURES MARKET
Close Marked by Weakness Despite
Heavy Trading.

(By the international News Service.)
New York, Nov. 22.-Three million
shares in a declining market IL quite
= different matter from 100000 when
the prices are rising. Wall Street
discovered this fact today. OF the
100000 shares traded in, 1,75o,000
were officially reported on the ex-
change, more than 10000 were odd lots
and at least 10000 stopped stock The
remainder was done on the curb and
on the Consolidated. The list got such
momentum toward the end of the day
that the close was weak and feverish;
that feature of the market being much
more important than the actual net
losses recorded.
market Is well known In the Street
where every commission house is
crowded with new customers and
where every telephone is busy carry
ing in orders from the remote cor
ners of wall Street" which includes
all of America and particularly the
rich middle west The final stroke
was an advance of call money to 5
per cent. This is an absurdly high
figure in view of the initiation. but
II was brought about by q congestion
OF the machinery Of banking.
News affecting value today was such
as would have gone with slight at
tention a week ago. Catching the
market in an unprotected state the
reports had an unfavorable influence.
For instance, routine decision, by q
circuit court that the eight-hour law
Is unconstitutional. would have put
railroad stocks higher under normal
conditions, but today they were weak
and the Street imagined that failure
of the law would mean q strike. ..
Selling was also caused by announce
ment that the American Telephone and
Telegraph would issue 100000 of
stock to shareholders at par. This an
nouncement cleared the mystery Of
the previous day in regard to the COM
pany's stock and demonstrated that
the selling really had been better than
the buying.
Then the Street sold Steel because
the 10 per cent advance of wages
amounts to about 81 a share on the
common. 1t was rather an ungraceful
thing for the shareholders to sell, in
asmuch as the three wage advances of
the year consumed only s3.25 a ton of
the S31.s3 a ton advance recorded in
the eight leading products of the
Steel Corporation. The wage increase
is a genuine bull argument on Steel
for obvious reasons. 1t was unofti-
cially reported that the big corpora
ton had taken orders for 100000
tons of shell steel at $50 a ton for the
first quarter of 1916 as compared with
$50 to $40 a ton for the last half Of
1917
