by rriany Interest concornctl In security holdings nntl tlcftllnRs.
It ivns fnslfcietl that tho placing of the lilnmo for tlio crumbling; away of

Tho Lanslnjf nolo, published yesterday, was tho chief factor In disturbing
values nnd In cduslnp; many conservative holders to throw over their securities
throueh fear that somo rupluro In our International rotations was closo at hand.
This fear was dispelled with the publication of the second Lansing nolo long
after the stock market closed nnd when business commenced this morning It was
With a removal of nll-'npprchcnslon over tho Intcrnallonril situation an far ns
our nation Is concerned.
Thoso who woro among tho heaviest sollors at tho low Icvols yesterday wero
urgent buyers of stocks at tho beginning of business this morning, but they wcro
Xorced Into competition with banking intorcsls and wore compelled to bid ngnlnst
bear traders who had becomo overextended on tho short side. ,
Tho" pressure against tho morkot had wholly disappeared when tho slock
market opened, and In its placo thoro was a. wild Bcramblo for stocks, causing
advances alt through tho list ranging fr,om 2 to more than 10 points. Aflor tho
nrat few minutes modcrato recessions occurred, rollectlng tho usual jirollt'tnklng
sales on vlolont rallies nfter n. slmrp decline, but whin trading becamo moro
orderly tho market developed pronounced strength and all through tho rest of
tho day additional gains wero In ordor.
Tho prlco movements included advances of 20 points In Uothlohem Hlccl and
moro than 10 points In Atlantic, Clulf and West Indies, industrial' Alcohol, Now
York Air Brake, Toxan Company and many other specialties, wliiio nearly nil tho
ttctlvo speculative Issues mado advances from tq 8 points. Thoro was a hugo
demand for United Stolon Steel common, which in tho late trading sold ut 107i,
against 10X at tho closo yesterday. v
Utah Coppor mado a. gain of moro than 7 points to nbovo lot and the same
amount of advanco was recorded In Lackawanna Stool, Marino preferred, Cruclblo
Btcol nnd Amorlcan Beet Hugar. A foaturo of tho day's trading was an advanco
of B points In Tobacco Products to do, that stock selling ut tho highest price
touched smco It has been traded In on Ihu New; York Stock Kxchnnge.
Tho rojlroad stocks wcro all active and strong, generally making gains of
about 3 points.
Thoro was a strong tono .to tho, bond morkot, with the convertlblo bonds

NEW YOItlv Dec. 21. Thoro was a good
general domnnd at tlto openlnr, led by
Southern Interests, Nev Orleans, roopi
traders and spot houses', which caused a
strong tone, January advancing 14 points,
March 20 points nnd other months 40 to
47 points higher on tho call. Tho selling
camo from commission houses. Wall street
and uptown Interests and proflt-tnklnir was
noted by yesterday's late buyers. Liver
pool purchased the near options and sold
tho late months.
Business was very active and, nfter the
call, prlco movements becamo erratic, prob
ably Influenced by the advanco In stocks
Which, t was said, reflected a belief that
peaco was not as probable as had beeji be
llovcd, January rose 18 points toget In
x lino with tho other options, but tho move
meats In tho later months wero erratic.
March, which started nt 10,4:, rose, to 16.C5,
and on the next sale dropped 11 points to
,13.54.
Tho Initial advance carried the market
' 45 to 53 points above last night's close.
This met Liverpool selling And, renewed
liquidation, but whtlo very nervous and tin
' settled, there was by no means the demor-i
, allzatfon of yeaterday urd reactions of 20
' to 25 points were followed by rallies dur
, lng the middle of the morning.
southern advlcps reiterated the firmness
, of Interior holders and was buying hop) on
an Idea that onco hedged cytton Imdbeen
1 eliminated the firmness of unhedged sup-
plies would cause a readjustment In con
' tract values.
During tho middle of the day there was
leas activity, with tho tone steadier and
with the active months ruling about 2G to
17 points, higher.
There WRtNj, tood doal of reactionary tallc
around the ring, but buyers showed cau
tion, being bullish on tho technical position
and. tho lower level of prices, but still
i .nervous over the uncertainties of the po
litical situation.

These losses -were offset as above by' a
gain uy the banks from the Hubtreasury
for gold Imported amounting to 120,833.000.
Tho ottlclat Hubtreasury statement shows
transfer to New Orleans of 800,000. and
the banks sustained some loss on gold coin

MONEY LENDING HATES
NKW YOUK Thn enormous liquidation
In securities thla week, together with tho
gold Importations, had n favorable Influence
upon the technical money position. It has
been an open secret that recent high rates
for money were not the result of any
scarcity of funds, but reflected the deter
mination of the hanking Interests to cor
rect the overextended position In securities,
grain and 'cotton. ,
Money was offered at i per cent on call
today, but the time quotations were aa
nominal as heretofore at UU4? per cent

Kvef'y one fell better In the financial dis
trict today. While there remained n little
uneaslneM nt tho statt of trading, due to
the developments In the International situa
tion yesterday, resulting In the shakedown
of stock prices, nervouanees gradually dis
appeared as the day wore on. Traders In
terested In distinctly local Issues gave, more
attention to the- rent value of the shares
and the pro.pect of the various companies.
This, added to the upward movement In
Wall street, brought about better prices
throughout the wliole list Some lery sub
stantial gains irere recorded during the
day.
The shake-out of yesterday, which was
the most pronounced since the tinsettle
ment started In Wall street when the Her
man peace proposals were first announced,
resulted In the sending nut of calls by
brokers generally tor additional margins
nfter tho close last night Manager of
board rooms explain! that while the re
sponse was not as good as on provloUs days
after ft shake-down, yet tho majority of
customers put up additional money today
to carry their securities.
llroltors report that tho money market
hero Is tight, with call money mill ruling
at B per cent, the ofllclal rate, nnd It Is
not expected that them will lie anydennlte
chnngo until after the first of th yeur.
Clerks In commission houses workeU late
last night to Clean up their books for to
day, and In one uptown house they were
not through until midnight. No objections
were heard to tho additional hours, em
ployes remembering when they, were car
ried nlong when the exchange was closed
Rfler the European war started, nnd then,
too, bonuses In the financial district have
been rather liberal this ear
