All that wns spoken of In the Stock exchange and In the Willi stieet illi
triot wis the Austrian answer to the Ancona note. The general assumption on
the board room floor was that this answer would be construed as Increasing the
prospects for n diplomatic rupture nt least, nnd nctlng tin this assumption the
room traders, nlwrtjs seeking un ecuso for exerting pressure against the
market, picked out the war order stocks as a group and oftcied &onie of thojte
Issues at sharp concessions. Crucible Steel, Haldwln and Ktudclmker ero
mado targets of violent attacks at times In the late trading and the pressure
was sufficient to force Studebaker down from 173'i to below 108. Haldwln and
Cruclblo both ietdcd over two points from the high range of the railler after
noon, nnd Wcstlnghousp, which had been strong and active. Melded fiom nboc
70 to 68U. These losses seemed tn limit the effect of the Austrian answer,
os the Street understood It. The leading stocks, like United States Steel com
mon. Union 1'aclilc nnd Annconda shared In the downwnrd movement to ft
moderate extent, btit considering the Importance of the assumed bearish factor
the losses tn those Issues were comparatively small being confined to frac
tional amounts.
United States Steel from Its high of 8GV4 dropped to S.V and Union I'nclHc's
downward range extended only from 137't to I36ss. Marino issues weto among
tho weak features, both on tho curb and the Stock exchange. The piofciied
declined from nboe 74 to below 72. ltallies occuircd fiom tho low prices noted
and tho tone in the itn.il dealings was fairly steady. Tho transactions on the
recession were not large in olume, consisting to a great extent to hundred
share lots at a time. The greatest loss was In Ootid .il Motois, which was I
down 22 points at the low. It recovered somewhat nt tho close. '
The Philadelphia, which arrived todav, was nccordlng U) statements tn I
foreign e.xehnngo circles, loaded to the guards with American securities, tt I
was estimated that the stocks and bonds formerly owned nbrotd liuuight In
by this steamer amounted to over J10.000.000. This inflow of securities was it
fnctor In causing the advance In demand Steillng exchange to 1.71. In the ,
Into trading Heichsmark's checks rallied front 7C to "G'i. i
Traders devoted a gie.it deal of attention to ColisolitUtetl CJ.is. and lh.it
stock was strong The stock was supplied on the upturn by Chnuncey & Co,
who generally handle the Inside ordcis. The trustees of tho company meet for
dividend action on Januarj 27 and the regular monthly meeting will be held
on December 30 No special meeting has been called, notwithstanding rumoia
to the contrary which accompanied the sticngth in tho stock. The stock is i Corn Products lief
now on a 7 per cent, dividend basis. The present plans nre snld to be as follows: Com Products Hif pf
Tho regular quarterly dividend of l per cent, will be declared, and In addition
an extra dividend of 'i of 1 per cent., these dividends to bo declared next month.
Earnings from the gas business are said to be about unchanged from last year,
but tho clectrlr business has furnished an inciense In net of about $1,000,000
There wns continued icullzing In New York Central. All over the Stieet
talk was heard of the heivv Increased business in November nnd thus far In
December. There was Miriness In sterling exchange but Vienna exchnngo
was weak, with crown clierks selling at the new low rccoul of 13.30. German
marks fell to a new low record of 7CJ1.
Anglo-French bonds were again actively traded In, selling at the previous
low recoid of 04H, made estcrdnv. Tho bonds are now free, the svndlcnte
having been dissolved.
