Covering for Over Holiday Is

pect for To-day is Another
Dull Session on Exchange

AS an interpreter OF economic events
IN prospect, tho New York Stock Ex-
change was inarticulate yesterday.
There was further speculative selling
.arly in the session by professional
traders hent on prodting by quick
turns madc on the decline, but later
those who had been selling short since
Wednesday began to diminish their
activities at the approach Of the Christ
mas holidays. Toward the close the
decline was checked, and despite con-
tinued irrcgularity the undertone was
firm as some shorts took profits by
covering and relieved themselves Of a
market position until next Tuesday.
On the basis Of the gray dullness
which prevailed fn the various markets
Yesterday, the prospects for trading
to-day are none too bright. Barring
unforeseen news developments of a
financial bearing, one can expect cur
tailed operations to-day and a small
attendance even among active members
o6 the exchange. There was a petition
to close the exchange and make
three-day holiday, but the governors
decided to keep open to-day and next
Saturday. One factor governing this
determination was the unusually small
number Of petitioners for the extra
holiday. AS far as next Saturday is
concerned, there is so much account
ing work to be done at the close of
the year that even if the big board
closed for the day brokerage Offices
would have to be open to perform their
bookkeeping operations.
AS result of the upturn yesterday
afternoon most of the losses sustained
earlier in the day were effaced, yet
there was still slightly more recessions
than gains. The average price of
twenty rails declined from 63.35 to
$500, and that of thirty industrials
from IA to 1880.
In the other markets there were
similar evidences of speculative inertia.
The foreign exchanges again drifted
slightly lower, reacting from their
gains earlier in the month. Cotton
prices advanced 19 to SO points, and
wheat prices were " to sc higher.

I'm Wall Street
Money Demand Slack

Call money was cheaper in Wall
Street yesterday than on any previous
day of the week Before the close Of
the session the rate on the New York
Stock Exchange had declined to per
cent and in the outside market difficulty
was experienced in placing funds at
Az per cent. The decline in the rate
was attributed not so much to the at
traction of supplies to this center by
cent level as to the absence Of demand,
unusual preceding three day interval.
This last condition, in turn, was cx-
planned by the filling of requirements
early in the day in anticipation of later
stifening.
