Subsequent events | proved that there had been very heavy profit! taking under cover of Whipping up of the | market, and the supporting tactics were m|('r. werd withdrawn. The reaction was correspond. | ingly violent and sudden. DBut it gave rise to | one of the uneasiness and rumors of bus:-{ Dess disasters tbat had become so prevaler. at the lower levels of the market. The reac: tion was an admonition not to be mistaken that the exigencles which were being prepared for | by the long liquidation were real exigencies and that the resources provided to meet them were not to be safely dissipeted at once in | wild speculation again. The course to be ex- | pected of the market in the absence of fm- | portant influences would be a lessening series of fluctuations followed by a period of dullness and siuggishness. The tightness of the money market and the expectation of the early de- | velopment of the seasonable interior demand for currenicy to move the crope are factors lice- ¥ to tend to this result. The course of in- rior exchange during the week has pointed cistakably 10 the conclusion that money is ning to move from New York and that the balance will shortly turn in favor of the | interior. A timely event in view of this de- veldpment was the arrival at San Francisco | of nearly $2,000,000 of Australian gold, which was made immediately available to New York bank reserves by telegraphic transfer through | the mecium of the Treasury Department. It 0 happened that in the final upward spurt of prices on stocks much was made by the bull | aders that the Colombian Senate had finally | | rejecied the Punama canal treaty and that | an agreement had been reached for the passage through the coming session of Congress of a comprehensive currency measure. The subse- quent news that the Panama canal treaty was still available for adoption or, the Colombian Legislature and the report tha would Mmjt the possible next seesion of Congress on the cus therefore disappointed the speculators who had bought stocks on these accounts and aggravated the reaction.
