The bears were again successtul during the morning, but they encountered resistance at he lower level and were torced to cover heavily before the close of the day, s0 that prices were brought back to within fractionai limits either way ot last night's close. Somo favorable effect was exercised on prices by the postponement of the hearing before the ~upreme Cour: in the Joint Trafiic Associa- tion case unti! January. Altbough the dec'sion of the court in the case of the Trans-Missouri | reight Association bas been regarded as foresnadowing an adverse decision in the Joist Tiafic Associar tion case, much has been made of the pendency of ihe decision as an influence on the recen: bear market, «nd its postponement gave & sense of re- lief. Arbitraze brokers were quite vigorous buyers for London account and tovs abous 25,000 shares of various st0cks on balance. This also was a favors- ble 1l ience. % A hardening tendency in the exchange market was attributed 10 the demand for remittauce by to-morrow s mail steamer, bult some’ ¢isappoiut- ment wes neveriheless feit by dealers in stocks that no engacement of £oid for imMpor was mads.
