THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, Dec. 27. Tho market for se
curities showed the effect of llio great re
lief telt by tho dissipation of several fac
tors of npprchciiMon and prices mounted
upward with increasing buosnncy ns tho
day protested, Thu market closed with
a burt of animation i.rd stiength at tho
top level of the day. Net gains in a num
ber ot Irrportant lallroads reached three
points, with a long list of advances of a
point or belter. Among tho industrials
and speclultlis gi.ins were even more
striking, unite a number having advanced
from to 10 points as a result of the day s
trading. The demand from an outstand
ing short interest to cover accentuated
the strei glh of tho latter group, those
which have recently suffered most show
ing thu greatest benefit from the day's
business. Brooklyn Transit was almost
a solitary exception and was subleet to
vigorous attacks all day In an effort to
unsettle thu market and cheek the ad
vance. But this slock although it ranged
over more than four points, closed with a
net loss of nly a point. Tho lendliiR In
fluence in tho Improvement of sentiment
was tho quiet and orderly manner In
which tho periodical settlement on tho
London Stock ichnngo proceeded. Oravo
fears were felt that the recent shrinkage
in values as a result of adverse war news
would prevent many operators on tho
London exchange frem meeting their en
gaKements at the current s-ettlpment. The
news thia morning tha. no acute difficul
ties had developed, that money conditions
were easy and prices- Int lined to ad
vance, rather than to decline, brought im
mense relief, which was nromntly reflect
ed nt the opening hour In an advance all
along tho line. The only notable check
came with the news of the failure of a
Boston stock exchange house, but this
Intluenco was only temporarily and slight.
The conditions In tho menuy maiket wero
notably easy, and one of the largest In
dividual money lenders in the street made
largo loans to e-nrry over until next Tues
day at the rato of 0 per cent. Tho cur
rent rate ruled from t to 5 per cent. Tho
close of the year is m lversally expected
to terminate the period of severe strin
gency, und to bo rollowed by relaxation,
owing to disbursements of dividends and
interest, which will lie on an unprecedent
ed scale. The trading did not take on
any great nnlmntlou until near tho close
and tho Individual transactions were not
on a law scale. In fact, tho number of
odd lots traded In was a feature .of tho
day. and reflected the investment demand
by buyers who take stocks out of the
market to lock up and keep. Total sales
today, GGI.'iM bhores. Investment buying
was in evidence nlso In the bond mnrket,
wherever tho fall in price, had offered
opportunity to secure fair return on
money Invested. The bond market was
active and strong throughout. Total
sales, par value, J2,320.0o0. t'nited States
new 43 declined 4 in tho bid price.
