TRADING VERGED
ON STAGNAT|ON
Bears Found It Hard Going in
Efforts to Work Lower
Prices
COLLAPSE OF EXCHANGE

New York. Jan. 21.-The New York
Evening Suns closing financial review
today says:
The bears found it rather hard going
today when. at various periods through
the forenoon, they essayed raids here
and there in the list wherever indica
tions of vulnerability were seen or
guessed at. They utilized the further
drop in the foreign exchanges for the
purpose without much effect and they
made the most of the meaningless atti-
tude which the street has adopted to-
ward the question of waiting for def
mite assurance as to whether the re-
discount rate is to be advanced or not.
For some unexplained reason every
body concluded that such assurance
would not be forthcoming until the
banking conference. to be held in Chi
cago on Friday, meets. 1t is not at
all easy to see what difference it can
possibly make to the stock market so
| long as only the most limited amount OF
time loans are to be had at around 9
per cent.
Call renewals were made at u per
cent for the first time in a considerable
! period and the loaning rate ruled at
| that figure, but there was neither size
able demand nor supply-a nominal
quotation in short. Time was not SO
very long ago when a ruling 6 per cent
rate would have sent the bears to cover
| in haste.
Today they not only did not hasten
to cover at any stage of the session, but
they persisted in efforts to work the list
lower despite the most Indifferent sue
cess save for a brief period in the early
! forenoon. With that exception. prices
were distinctly firm, but trading SO
closely verged on the stagnatlon point
and was so obviously professional in
/ origin, such as it was. that its signifi =
cance was restricted to additional evil
dence of a sold -out condition.
Far more interest was manifested in
! the foreign exchange movement than in
anything else. Drafts on London. Italy
and Germany dropped to low figures
never before touched. Francs were like-
wise reactionary, while the So-caIled
neutral remittances were in better tone.
/ Little apparent progress toward har-
monizing the conflicting views of the
peace treaty affected sentiment in that
/ quarter, while the same forces which
have affected the exchanges all along,
that is to say, continued heavy ship
ments Of foOdstuffs and so on from this
side, have been unabated.
Railroad shares displayed the same
siuggishly firm tone that the iadus-
trials did. The deadlock in the confer
encc on the two railroad bills was an
effectual dampener in that quarter and
served to acCentuate the aloofness from
stock dealings in general.

New York, Jan. u The outstanding
and possibly the more significant fea-
ture of today's stock market was the
increasing degree of resistance en-
countered on the reaction8ry swings.

ators that have been attacking the mar

but the market as whole exhibited
greater resisting powers. This was
partly attested in the readiness with
which prices rallied when the artificial
pressure ceased. Indicating also, in a
measure, stronger financial interests are
steadily accommodating the more sea

1t was strictly a professional mar

volume of dealings was the smallest seen
