FINANCIAL NEWS
TRADERS HAVE SOLD STOCKS FREELY;
MARKET PRETTY WELL LIQUIDATED
Short Interest Small, but It Is Being Built Up Invest
ment Buying Better Bull Movement Not Yet
Ready in Interboroughs
NKtt YUIIK. Dec. 3.
Tlio derllnc In the stock market 1ms hrmight tin rhatiKc In Hk rsscntlnl
chnraeterlstio. I'rlres tire down n little liul lint rtiotiKh tn lndk'iitp that tin
mnrjeet Ih nliout to iilmmlon tlio groove In wlilt'li It Iium Iliir-UinU-tl for several
tvccUh past. The market Ih still it traitors' nfinlr, Willi little or Ho outside
participation. The professional nhtl HPlitlprtifesslnntil element Is utmost uni
versally benrlsli, simply on the nrtlott of prices. There hits been n Viist nmotnit
of booiI news, they sny, nlul pi Ires have fulled to respond. Therefore, the
market must be overbought itltd deellne Is Inevitable. Ai-tliif- on HiIh theory,
they have sold stocks freely, mid this week's decline wns nlivltmsly nwide In
the Street. On Tuesday oftertiooil word was passed n round the commission
houses that Steel would ro lower, tittil the professional element promptly sold
Steel. Accompanying the decline were all sorts or reports regarding the Presi
dent's message by people who professed to have Intimate knowlcdKe of Its
Contents. One story that the message Would recommend drastic taxes on
fabricated steel and Iron did more than anything else to depress sentiment,
particularly as It was reported In addition that the head of the biggest Inter
national banking house had privately expressed his belief In tho correctness
of tho rumor.
As far ns the present condition of the market Is concerned, the Street is
not nt all surprised nor discouraged because of the lack of activity. One broker
put It thus: "I'or the last 19 years I have never seen much done In the
market In December. It Is more or less of nn evelilng-up period for the com
ing year, and no one ever really expects very much In a December market."
The Street Is Watting for the President's message, and this appears to be the
most Important factor at the moment, t'titll this Is received nothing much Is
expected.
Nearly every one today seemed to feel that the market was pretty welt
liquidated; had reached the bottom for the present, tit other words, although
most commission house gossip continued to preach against the Increasing of
commitments for the moment, tt was sold that the Inlying was of a much
better kind than the selling, though neither was much to brag about. While
a new short interest Is gradually being built up. It Is said thnt this interest
ts now very small. Krom day to day there Is talk that the Investment buying
Is better.
The bull movement In tho Interboroughs, whLMi has been predicted for
some time, Is not unite ready to start. It appears that the stage is set. but
that there are slight formalities to be gone through with before the piny
may start. All but one of the big holders of the stock lins agreed to hold his
stock off the market until tho price reaches a certain point. The last one,
however, has so far failed to give assurances thnt he will not Interfere, and,
naturally, the others do not care to rim the risk of providing him gratis with
a market to get out on. liven If this gentleman's consent to the movement
Is secured, there would always bo a certain element of doubt In the mind of
the' Street nbout the manner In which any agreement would be carried out.
The Interborough crowd has never Inspired the cnnlldenco of tho Street
any more than Its members appear to have confidence In each others.
The outstanding stock of firmness was United States Steel common. It
withstood bear pressuro well, and It helped to reassure sentiment on the
general market. The untitled tonnage statement for December is expected
to be good. Street gossip today hnd It that it would show nn Incrense In orders
on the books of more thnn 70,000 tons.
There was further selling at the start of trading today, ami nearly every
thing on the list went off. Support appeared, however, and the market turned
strong. International Nickel was a feature, advancing nearly ten points. For
the most part, the advances were not wide, and where they were large it
was mostly in the specialties. At the close prices were off. a little from the best.

carry-over rales between 5 nnd 6 per cent, j
on "Ions" accounts. Threo per cent.
rentes arc carried over at 20 centimes
that Is, at 5 per cent. whereas nt the
previous liquidation the quotation was
par, the difference arising from deliveries
of rentes made for the purpose of su-Bcrlbliif-
to the loan, which created the ,
lonsr account. Coulisse rates have varied, ,
but generally are about 0 per cent. Ar-
bltrah'e rates have been unchanged since
the end of OctoBer.
Loan subscriptions continue to flow in,
but the total la not likely to reach the
fantastic Hsures given in certnln quar
ters. Such suf-cestlons probably emanate ,
from German sources, so that when the 1
Inferior total is announced the German 1
press can say, "Tho French expected j
.W,CO0,000, but haven't obtained half ot i
It." I
A similar maneuver was tried on the j
emission price. When I stated hero that 1
the price likely would be S3 certain quar
ters gave It as , with the result that
when the price was published the Oer-
mans declared we were compelled to Issue
t a lower rate than originally Intended.
The Dank of France balance sheet I
hows a further sold Increase of 4;.C"j0,Ou0
francs. Loans on scrip at the date No-
vember 18 ivero C6I.000.00O francs; on So- ,
vember 25, 567,400,(00 francs, nnd today 1
57S,'0O,00O fruncs. The Increase is Inslg-
ntflcant relatively to loan subscriptions. ,
It Is proof that subscribers had little re- ;
course to this means of obtalnln casti.
The bank charges 6 per cent, interest,
according to its custom of fixing rates
at 1 per cent, above current discount. If
the bank had wished to boom loan sub
scriptions It would have lowered the rate
of I below discount, mak:nf- t per cent..
and thus glvlns the borrower a gain of
1.73 per cent, on 3tooks pledged to en
able him to buy the loan. Or by restrict
ing loans to M per cent, of the value of
jcrip he bank might have Increased the
number of stocks on which It gave loans,
thus Including foreign gtate loans like the
exterior Spanish or Amtrlcan railroad

have procured at least a billion dollars
more for the loan, but the bank preferred
to renounce It In order not to Increase
lh amount of Its own bills.

of JO or 11 per cent, throush the peseta

made with the Swiss. Scandinavian and
Dutch State loans. They are profitable
alike to the foreigner, who gains by ex
change, and to the French seller, who la

Cooks like e National Museum in 1883,
Halibut it has been rediscovered and is now
6 to 40 lbs. caught in large numbers seventy miles off

other important line to our fish dealers,
