Uncertainties In the foreign situation which Include tho position of affairs In Mexico, tend at the moment to discour age public operations In securities, arpo- lnlly after the whipping the outside ele ment received In the recent decline. There Is hn v. " r, no lack of bullishness !:i the Stret over the prmperts for a re turn or public activity In the market lust a hoop a It lis. been determined fo what extent the current pence talk will affect (he course of amis abroad In va rious Street circles yesterday the rela tive dulneaa of trading In the Block Es change was taken as preliminary to a new movement of s table proportions In the cn-n'nt year, and in the same quar ters discussion favored the theory that tlthcr with peace or more war opportti ti'tles would be presented In l17 for further speculative activity on the bull side. Wall Street Is now Indulging In the sensible argument that after all peace will he'p this country. This Idea was ised yesterday to god purpose In some s'orks which do not represent companies Identified with the war business, while tha theory that w, must run on for an other year likewise was n factor In the operations. As a rule, however, the desi st were of a holiday character, to the. utnpsn'nient of great regularity In nrlce movements, alt hong,. In the greater number of lea-ling tosues more net gains than losses were recorded. At one time In the session decided s-rength wa. shown, but In great part the Improvement was lost In sfternoon realising. II wsa more of a traders' market than any reported in recent weeks, with total transactions amount ing to only 789,0f shares. Sentiment In the Street Is particularly mercurial at the p resent time and In onsequencs the idea, advanced in cur rent gusslp need not he put down as a Ttnin forecast for the action of specu lation In the Immediate future. At the moment there Is no especial Incentive fur great activity on either side of tha tnrket. !ut the attractive level at which high grade Investment Issues are selling suggest tint substantial cash purchases may be made In the rest of the year ami that sffth the d-strlbutlnri of the, heaviest January Interest and dividends on record reinvestment demand may develop In large volume. Steel share were well bought In the day. while the only feature of consistent weakness was found In the International Mercantile Marine at. .eke. which were sold on the rumors that under tlie pro posed British control of shipping the boats of the company will make Halifax their port rather than New York. There Is nothing particularly bearish In the suggestion In so far as the Mercantile Marine Company Is concerned As s matter of fact, shipping Interests here bolnt out that although some of the oversea trade may be diverted from New York to Halifax, the greater part of thst business must remain here, for the rea son Halifax has neither the ws'er nor the rail facilities that would b required to handle the operations of a great port. Oil. copper and equipment stocks were In rather good demand, but little activity was reported In the rails, In spite of the great record gross and net earnings re ported for the current yesr by the rail transportation business In this country Doubtless rail earnings will be cumula tive In their effect upon the railway shares, which in most Instances yester day closed at small net losses. Money was easy, while there was no Important movement In foreign ex change, although rates on Berlin and Vienna were somewhat higher. 7V" I 71, ll'J 12 1 JK r 2Vi 23 64, 7 I 0. 91 I 0 81 1 101 10.1 ' 47V4' l"S4j 10:I4 - .... . 0.1-4. on at' aaja IStf 2 29 lVi ri 77H ion 1.1 13 20 62 H 78 'iosh ins nr. 87 ' 18 9.'

Since the resumption of dealings in the Stock Exchange, fol lowing the long vacation Incident to the outbreak of war abroad, petitions for extra holidays have not been granted, and In this ptirtrlular Instance the petition for Saturday off may be turned down liecause of the fiOtton that trouble might develop If the Exchange should be closed on the last business day of the year. 1:1 1 p Rt i. i.i '".I l.t A Rt. it-., l Tra.- Alhin- rtsk p a I art I ties RSI A fl ret I t A Ms Vr Itv l,t .
