CaIriailment of Activity

In the stock market yesterday there
was s. significant curtailment Of ac-
tivity. AT the outset experimental
spectators bid UP security prices, but
the response was unsatisfactory TO
those In quest Of higher quotations.
This technical action Of tho market
evidently encouraged professional sell
ing, particularly of steel, equipment
and rubber shares.
Call money, which opened at per
cent, climbed to 53s per cent and
shortly before the close to per cent,
which is the highest since November
8. The temporary stiffening was re-
hected in further irregularity in bonds.
Liberty issues again reacted. The
situation in the call money market is
a superficial development, however. 1t
is associated with the flow Of funds
out OF this district to the interior.
The Federal Reserve Bank Of New York
reports a decline in its reserve ratio
as result Of heavy losses of funds to
the interior. Meantime, the Federal
Reserve system, whose condition is Of
much moro fundamental Importance,
reported a combined ratio Of reserves
against deposits and Federal Reserve
note liabilities combined Of 731, which
is tho highest thus far during this
year Of progressively higher reserves.
Last week the figure was 72.7.
In the moderate weakness Of stock
prices there was reflex Of the higher
call rates, but Of more Importance is
the doubt among professional specu-
lators, who dominate at present, of the
feasibility Of moving prices further
upward at this time.
The foreign exchanges were firmer,
after the reaction of Wednesday.
Under the stimulus Of favorable
sentiment created by the Irish settle
ment the sterling climbed ia cents
higher, and the Continental exchanges
were higher. Cotton gained So bale
on trade buying, and wheat prices were
up rs to 2es cents bushel.

Pittsburgh Coal

Pittsburgh Coal ran counter to the
trend in the majority of industrials
yesterday and made new high for the
year Mt 65%, with the net gain for the
day "a points at the closing quotation
Of IS. Although reports from the
Smoky City" indicate that n big coal
merger is being talked Of, some people
in the Street see in the rise Of Pitts
burgh Coal some significance to reports
that this company may become a part
Of the Independent steel combination
now under way. Pittsburgh Coal is Il
bituminous proposition and, it is stated,
would be valuable link in any merger
involving steel companies. The i'm
portance of coal subsidiary was rec
ognized at the time of organization Of
the Steel Corporation, when it took in
the II. c. Frick Coke Company. In the
current gossip concerning the indepen-
dent steel merger talk is also heard
that Jones & Laughlin may eventually
enter into some sort of agreement with
some other company or companies, be-
cause of the bearing which the new tax
law might have.

Chandler Dividend Outlook

Directors Of the Chandler M Motor Car
Company are scheduled to meet for
dividend action next Wednesday or
Thursday Because Of the slump in &hej
company's business which has contin-
ued practically throughout the year
the dividend requirements Of the past
two quarters have not been earned. The
dividend for the September quarter was
paid. Whether the directors will draw
upon the treasury again to maintain
the So annual rate is a matter which
has raised some doubt. Some of the di-
rectors are understood to favor pay
ment of the regular dividend in Decem-
Der because Of the belief that 1922 will
be big wear.

that he make this sacrifice before
allowing him to retire.
