While the stock market was in ses? sion there was nothing definite in the news from Great Britain to tell whethei there had been loss of life in the sink? ing of the Arabic by a German suhma rine, and it was not until the trading day was almost over that there was even a rumor that some of the pussil? gers had not been rescued. That pos .-ii'ly accounts for the comparative calmness with which the news of tho torpedoing was at tirst received. The market had nearly two hours in which to reflect the incident, but it was only in the last fifteen or twenty minutes that its significance began to be meas? ured in stock prices. Following the first news there was a decline, but it was small compared with reactions that have frequently been seen lately, from which the market has readily recov? ered. And after the decline came a fair-sized rally. This continued at a moderate pace until the last quarter of an hour. At that time more serious im pl;cations from the Arabic incident ap? peared, and there was a rapid but or? derly decline which carried many issues down to new low figures for the day. In the final dealings, however, prices showed a disposition to steady. The day's transactions, of more than ; a million shares, covered a broad list of stocks, though the dealings in Steel common made up not quite a quarter of the total. There were unusually heavy dealings in the Great Northern Ore cert .tientes, which displaced Westir.g bouse Electric shares from the second position on the. list, from the point of activity. Some of the copper is3ties, I notably Anaconda, were likewise promi | nent, both from their activity and their 1 strength. In the early dealings the market be l.aved much the way it did on Wednes ; day. The opening was active and ir ? regalar, with Steel an?! Great North? in Ors making up a con-'derable pari of the transactions. New York Air Brake, continuing the rise that began on Wednesday after the publication of the ..nguine expectations of its president, a gain of lV? points in the initial transaction? and rose '2 points mor? within a few minutes. American Can DOther feature of strength. The advance did not lost long, and in the ng reaction a number of weak developed. There was a rood deal of profit taking to be seen in the war issues, with Bethlehem Steel con? tinuing to sag. American Car ar.d Foundry reacted sharply, notwithstand? ing reports that the company was ne fcotiatmg f.'i new var orders, Special ? , such a^ Pittsburgh Coal, were strong and weak by turns. In the course of the day the copper share-?, le,l by Anaconda, rallied briskly, but the advancing movement died out after a gain of about L' points had been scored. Anaconda, however, was one of the f? ?-? '''...t were to show? a net gain on the day's operations. Theie were a great number of cross? currents in the market, pool opera? tions for the rise contending against the influence of profit taking in other of the list. With the Arabic news the market turned definitely downward, but without confusion. No further developments occurred in the international financial situstion. but it wa? reported from London that there whs s likelihood of B deputation of financiers coming here to confer with local bankers on the exchange situa? tion. Sterling exchange rallied some? what, though th? market was at times very nervous. Checks closed at 4.67V4 and cables at 4.''>*-'?*. INACTIVE STOCKS.
