NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—The first transactions on the Stock Exchange holiday disclosed how much of yesterday's weakness must be gttrib- uted to selling for short account. The ‘uh w0 cover short comtracts carried prices up without regard to fractions in the specialties, which bad been the mark of attack. Sugar, Metro- politan, Tobaoeo, Brooklyn Transit and Peo- o's Gas Jumped from 3% to 3 points on open- & sales. The same buoyant tendency was shown !n the international list of raliroad stocks. London had lifted these sharply before the opening here, but they bounded above the London parity to & level from 1 to 2 poinis last night's close here. The urgency of nd from the bears constituted a min- | te. Their short selilng yesterday futur was based on N assumption that the periodical | pettiement in the mines department of the Lon- | con k Exchange, which began to-day, would disclose 8o weak a position there that a panic would be likely to result. On the con- trary, the earliest news from London showed that the settiement in Ldndon was proceeding casily and in an orderly manner, sentiment there being much encouraged by the shipments & New York. Rumors of financial ut and forced liquidation pursued a inent figure in the Anancial world all day terday. To-gay, on the contrary, it was d 00,00 in roment bonds | ed s wdditional security for this man of wealth, and that his diffic d.

But the demand which has thus advanced the prices was & purely fictitious one. The pyramid thus created 15 an inverted one wnd 1t topples over When at attempt i¢ made to sell to realize. The capitalists do not call their operations “pyra- | * iding,”’ but the persistent Inflation in values of securities which went on for months had the | same effect.

The | Bains in legal tenders and specie were §3,572,100, and as the increase in deposits was only nom- inal, the new cash goes to meet excess reserve, bringing that item to $10,8%4,075, the highest point touched since last August. The state- ment has been affected by a number of influ- ences of conflicting and unusual character, which perhaps explain why the final figures are at variance with earller estimates. To be- | §in with, the liquidation of $3,000,000 in loans !s | smaller than the known operations of the past_ week called for. The addition of $3,000,000 o $500.000 of cash reserve, despite the loss of $2,000,000 of gold on December 16, Was unex- pected; but the treasury disbursements and the | recelpt of specie from the West Indies a week ago have more than counteracted the earlier | The exports of #pecie to Europe Satur- day are not Included In the present statement. | What bearing they will have on the next ex- hibit of the banks s problematical. It Is quite likely, however, that the opening of the new year will witness the usual movement of funds between this center and the Interior. Div- idend Qisbursements are bringing into the market a fresh supply of free currency. The usual semi-annual disturbances inci- dent to payments of this character are now fully discounted. The changed condi- tion of affairs with respect to business over the country does not make for a repetition of the influx of interior money to New York which was 30 pronounced at this time last year, but the rates quoted on domestic exchange at im- portant centers show that the ‘tendency ie in favor of New York It will be recailed that the rise In securities beginning in January had its origin largely In the superabundance of money flowing this way. = There is no_prospect last winter, for the simple reason that the money of the country is employed In active business. Europe also stands ready to bid for excess cash mt present. The outiook, then, while it is assuming a more comfortable aspect, seems to forecast a moderately firm money market at no stringency and no idle over-supply. London Market. NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financlal eablegram says: The markets here were quietly strong to-day, closing at the best. The mining carry-over passed more easily than was expected, and for- eign exchanges were favorable. Gold was re- ported as coming forward freely, and there kas evidence of returning confidence. bank bought £5000 in bars and £13%,000 in Ger- man coin.
