Mock market operations today strongly Indicated that the liquidation JJJIWch hrlii been in progress slnco Monday had brought prices to a resting nnfl, although many vigorous declines occurred and some unfavorable Svetopments wero recorded, Failles wero In order after sharp declines, and i.beUer demand was In cvldcnco than at any previous time during the week. ., .Among the things which happened of an unsettling naturo wero the dccllno fctj!8 In the price of copper In London, the shut-down of the acid plant of the Tennessee Copper Company and tho various reports of labor troubles In the rteel Industry. Tho more Important fact that tho verified statements of tho slnk ' J&ftr of the Persia furnlshrd no basis for diplomatic Interference by this nation pa ror a time without Influence. The position of tho war order stocks continued unsettled because of the !vnrloU3 statements regarding financial necessities of the Canadian Car nnd Jfoundry Company, and tho belief broadened that discrimination must be shown , an, trading on these stocks and that only thoso whoso management Is known to be efficient could bo made the channels for future bullish speculative ventures. There was an nbrupt chango to the speculative move in tho last half of tiio day, and In the late trading vigorous buying appeared in many stocks, and sharp advances were accompanied by a chorus of enthusiastic bull yells. Mexican Potroleum, which had been ono of the weakest features of tho irinrntng, setting below 114, rose to above 119, nnd gains ranging froth two to five points were made In many other specialties, Including Crucible Sleet, Industrial Alcohol nnd Baldwin Locomotive. , It was evident that constant absorption had been In progress In t'nltcd mines steel common, ns that stock, nftcr selling nt 86 early In tho day, had n vigorous advance to nbove S7, with the demand Increasing ns high prices Wero established. Anaconda reflected persistent buying by Standard Oil .interests, moving up over ono point nnd again crossing 00. nnd thero was similar accumulation of American Smelting, which regained nil Its rnrly 5'osb nnd closed with n net gain. American Can, which had been strong all through tho day, continued In ,ROOd demand nt hn advance of over one point, nnd frnctlonul gains were made In many other minor industrials. The sudden charge In market tone 'was attributed to a clearing up of the foreign submarine policy, with tho state ment iy mo uerman Ambassador acting ns a direct Incentive. Hnllroad stocks moved within narrower limits, but also showed pronounced strength with good upturns In nearly nit tho Important issues.

The banks received gross from tho country $9,820,159 and shipped $5,680,6-19. In this week last year tho gross receipts were $11,831,000, against $67,090,34!

Special Cnole to the Evening ttdoe'r PAHIS, Jan. ?. Tho new loan was quoted on the Tloiirno today tinder the name "Five Per Cent. National." It opened nrotind ft, which Is a point nhove the ubcriptlon price. Slllns offer were few, which la an r-xcellcnt hIrti that the loan Is welt considered, Tho demand, on the other hand, wns good nnd steps had to be taken to prevent exngRcrnted quo tations from bclnp: brought nbout. It cannot be said that tho Minister of Finance overworked himself to brlnn In subscrlntlons to the lonn. I hnve already told how the IJnnk of Franco refused to lower Its rate from 6 per cent, to facilitate borrowing to put Into the lonn. On top of this only n very Rmnll commission was allowed for tho conversion of treasury bonds Into the new loan, and as holders of treasury bonds demanded that the banks divide their commission with them tho result wns thnt only 2,000.000.000 out of tho Issue of 8.300.000,000 of treasury bonds were converted The Ministry of Finance had another Idea which showed that the Isaulns of the lonn was managed by burcaucrnts Instead of by business men. The bnnks received a commission on subscriptions according to a sliding ncnlc. but the higher the sub scriptions nmounted the less wns the commission received. The Inverse system wns the one which should have been adopted. The conversion of 3 per cent, rentes nlso had difficulties put In tho Way which drove off many persons. This left-handed work had one good effect, It kept n Inrge part of tho country's reserves from going Into this lonn which naturally means that more Is left for" the future. I'nrllnmnnt meets ngnln Jnnunry 11, nnd then will como up the question of under secretaries of state. Tho Budget Com mittee of the Chamber has refused to vote the credits naked for them. The question Is one particularly nffcctlng llene Bernard, under secretary fcr aviation. Aviation costs J2M.OO0 a lny. In tho end the question Is whether It Is well used. A good many people say Mr, Bernard has thoroughly disorganized the service nnd that he hns rcplnccd competent nvlntors by artillery ofllcers. who get positions, not through ability, but through favor. It will be hnrd to have a public discussion on the subject. Tho plan to tax food, hent nnd light will come before the Senate, which will criticise It, but will end by agreeing.

All kinds of staple and fancy cottons are especially active, and In some cases the prices reached are almost of record character. In the silk market the chief feature Is the continued advancing of prices by manufacturers, who still show unwilling ness to sell In more than small quantities. Buyers of wool and worsted dross goods are showing anxiety to cover their needs for the coming fall and winter season. The women's garment trade Is looking forward to a very active spring season.

Tho Tennesseo Copper has notified the Agricultural Cor poration thnt It may be forced to shut down Its sulphuric acid plant at Copper Hill for an Indefinite period, and that nt any rnto production of acid will bo re duced considerably. It Is understood that tho main ncld producing plant of the Tennessee Copper Company haB col lapsed, which Is the reason for the ntl flcntlon that shipments of ncld may have to bo discontinued Indefinitely or cur tailed. How serious the damage Js, Is not yet definitely ascertained, but It will Inter fere with delivery of ncld for several weks at least. Tho closing of the ncld plant means nn enormous loss to the Tesscsseo Company. The large nnd profitable contracts taken with the nusslan Government and the du Pont Powder interests were being sup plied from this plnnt. Half of tho profits from these contracts go to the Interna tional Agricultural Corporation. That company, however. Is somewhat pro tected as It owns three other ncld plants In various parts of the country.

TO COMPTROLLER OP THE CURREJ Local Lenders Explain Reason for Higher Call Here Than in Wall Street Cambria Deal Almc Completed Lackawanna Stumbling Block Local brokers, ns well as bankers, wero Interested In some of the unusual Inqui ries' Included In the Comptroller of tho Currency's recent call for tho condition of tho banks. He pays particular attention to loans. His object Is to ascertain If money hns been lent by National banks In violation of State laws, and ho asks for n list of all loans made during 1915, upon which Interest was charged or collected at rates more than the equivalent of 6 per cent, per annum. Tho call also asks whether It Is the custom to require bor rowers to carry deposits when loans are granted, how much they nro lending to non-depositors and how much Is not se cured by collateral. The aggregate of amounts which borrowers have refused to pay banks on account of alleged usury Is asked, and nlso the totnl payments made by banks as penalties for usury. nates for call money In this city have nlwaj's been a subject of some criticism from locnl brokers because they arc usually considerably higher than those current In New York. Bankers here re ply, however, that In times of stress Philadelphia brokers fare much better than those of New York ns tho banks here endeavor to stick to relatively low rates. For Instance, In the panic of 190 when call money soared. out of sight In Wnl! streot the highest rate here wns 6 per cent, and that was only maintained for a short time. Also local bankers do not treat call loans as day-to-day trans actions ns In New York, but frequently let them run for months, so that they argue the relatively higher rates In times of easy money are Justified nnd offset by tho greater stability hero In times of stress.
