THE EQUITABLE TRUST COMPANY OF
NEW YORK. Trustee.
By LYMAN RHOADES, Vice President.
Dated, New York, N. Y., January 5. 1910.
The selling pressure which has char
acterized the itoclc market for the last
week or more continued unabated In
yesterday's session, with pronounced re
sults again throughout the whole list.
Tho lower priced oils, which were bought
so eagerly by tho public a few months
ago at much higher prlceB, went through
another period of deflations and the
rally which occurred In some of the
standard stocks and so-called speculative
favorites seemed to have gone Just far
enough to havo given the bear party
fresh courage to renew their short lines,
which they did with very favorable re
sults. A sharp but premature rally oc
curred around midday under the lead
ership of tho rails, but this In Itself
was a very bad sign In that It was the
rails that led the advance, and only en
couraged the trading clement all tho
more, with the result that tho closing
was the weakest period of the day. Al
together it was another very unsatisfac
tory session, although not surprising In
view of what has tak.cn place In the last
week and In view of the bearlshness of
the financial community In general,
One of tho explanations of the renewed
decline yesterday, If any need be given
at all, was that tho Street had got
entirely over Its Jubilation of Thursday
ever the failure of the Reserve Board to
announce the expected Increase In re
discount rates. In other words, what
the Street did was to get down to the
real facts of tho case. In the first place.
It became doubly clear that on Increase
Is coming, as foreshadowed In this col
umn, as a result of the action proposed
by the New York Clearing House Asso
ciation In an amendment changing the
maximum amount of Interest permitted
to bo paid on bank balances of Institu
tions clearing through the local Clearing
House. This was regarded In conserva
tive circles as tho first step toward an
tncreaso In rediscount rates and, natu
cally, as soon as the Street saw tho an
nouncement It Immediately recognized
that It had taken altogether too lightly
the warnings that havo been given all
of this week on this subject. In the
second place, Indications came from
Washington again that the board Is not
even considering relaxing Its efforts to
curb speculations. This did not count
In the stock market as It might have
a month or so ago because a great deal
l.as already been accomplished In the
stock market In tho way of reducing
loans, but nevertheless It was a warn
ing of what may bo expected If Wall
Street continues to take too lightly the
efforts being mada in Washington to
juib speculation.
In to far as the character of yester
day's selling was concerned. It did not
differ greatly from that of preceding
dava of this week. It was the same per
slstent pressure, wfth the difference that
a better class of stocks was Involved
yesterday. For instance, the lower
priced oil shares were not nearly no
hard hit as on the previous day, but In
their place a new and better class of
locks came forward. The Bteel stocks,
that Is to say outside of Repub.ic, yes-
toiday bore tne Drum or. me sening,
especially Republic. Next to these
issues the weakest features were ti.e
motors, which were led downward by
Chandler and General Motors. The
break In Chandler was particularly sur
prising In that this has been the one
motor stock which has held its ground
nil through the downward movement.
Yesterday, however, It was very weak,
touching a new low record for tho cur
rent movement. The rails made a very
brief- sourt at midday and the Street
took this as an Indication that the mar-
et was about to rally more sharply.
but. as usual, Instead oi rallying the
market the rails only invited more sell
ing pressure.
The money market was cienniteiy
easier. As was pointed out on Thurs
day, the withdrawals for the current
week have been completed by the Gov
ernment, and therefore there Is no rea
son to expect any further flurries In the
money market until the middle of next
veck. If then. As a matter of fact. It
is very doubtful If the money market
will give much trouble then, In view of
the present rate of liquidation, and also
In view of the restriction that has been
placed on buying power in the last week
by Ihe declining market. The foreign
exchange market was weaker again, re
flecting the news In the morning papers
on tho Russian situation. Sterling was
off about several cents from the preced
ing day's closing and there were rather
sharp breaks also In francs and lire.

Yesterday's market may be summed

4- Si
money situation, About tho same class
of stocks which havo shown unusual
weakness during this week wero again
unusually weak, The same band of I
bear operators which havo been plying
the whip to tho Jaded nag were In the
saddle all day, still plying the whip.
The same bulls, now thoroughly meek
and house broken, tried to stop tne
runaway and were run over, and In
some Instances trampled on for their
'trouble. But when the official com
munique, recorded nothing to report they
took no notice of the little skirmishes
which occurred here and there. The
markot was ropleto with theso yester
day. Rails started a small movement,
but dropped back, gasping, after the
effort A few stocks resisted tho trend.
In the main probably as much as 90
per cent, of the securities listed were
under Irresistible pressure. With the
public In no mood to buy, most houses
advising their customers to sell rather
than buy, and gloomy news coming rrom
right and left, It was little of a surprise
that stocks should bo pressed for sale.

Setting Abend the Dntr.
Any soothsayer,' forecaster, oulja board
manipulator or just plain guesBer wno
can foretell when this market will turn
can como down to Wall Street, fill out
the amount of tho check for services
rendered nnd any number of people will
be more than glad to sign it for any
reasonable or unreasonable amount, pro
vided some assurance bo given that tho
ndvance Information bo correct. In con
nlilemtlnn of the wide break In Novem
ber most of Wall Street, professional
nnd amateur, set January 1 as the
Imaginary dato on which tho decline
would end. The market did better mo
mentnrllv. and had n small January rise.
Then it started down and has been
literally on the toboggan since. Only
liArA Ann there has been a day In which
buyers appeared to be more anlous
than sellers. A few prognosticates wnu
expected tho marke". to turn when It
crossed January 1 are commonclng to
crawl out of the tall grass In which they
have been hiding during the recent de
cline. They are hesitatingly making n
few new guesses, and It la to be noted
that they are far ahead. One says,
"With tho signing of tho peace treaty,
another, "With the return of the rails
to their owners," still nnother, "When
money gets to 6 per cent, and stays
there."
Small Move In he Ralls.
One of the surprises of yesterday was
the start of a small movo In the rails
and, taken as a whole, they closed the
day at higher prices than they had
closed on the previous day. With the
whole market against them and tho
strest nlmost uniformly bearish tho
buying In this group commanded con
siderable attention and gossip. There
are many people down town firmly com
mitted to the belief that the rails will
Join, If not actually lead, the next
upward movement. Prominent houses
have been beating the tomtoms ln
behalf of this group for months and
without results. . It may be Bet down
as a certainty that there will .be no
sustained upward move in tne rails until
the present cloud of uncertainty that
envelops their return to private owner
ship Is dispelled, A few houses here
and there are of the opinion that the
rall9 can have an Independent move nt
almost any time, owing to the fact that
the conference Is making some real
progress on railroad legislation and
p'nns to report the bill out of Congress
by February 1. There Is some talk of
an Inquiry being made as to how gen
eral business would receive a suggestion
of a 20 per cent freight advance.
United States, Foreign Government, Railroad, Industrial and Other Bonds,
Itreak In Exchange.
It is probably a far fetched argument
to present the theory that the critical
situation abroad, ln tho determination
to down the Russian Bolshevlkl, will
have a far reaching effect on this coun
try. Bu the news from abroad that the
Allies are on the verge of warfare with,
the Bolshevist forces to save Poland
was undoubtedly a potent market fac
tor and was responsible, too, for the
downward swing In exchange. As one
firm expresses It, "Hanking Interests are
now weighing carefully the ' monetary
effect of the great struggle soon to begin
against the Russian Bolshevist forces, If
plans are carried out, and how far our

Things Wall Street Is Forgetting.
In the heltcr skelter scramble to sel
stocks, particularly thoso which have
proved an unstable underpinning. Wall
Street Is letting some factors become
crowded Into tho background, factors
which It Is well to keep ln mind, even
when Stock Exchange prices for securi
ties are slipping downward point by
point. One of these Is the fact that tho
United States Steel Corporation lnsth'
largest booked tonnage at the present
time that it has had since the war wis
at ItH height The demand for building
materials, merchandise and many other
ommodlties exceeds the supply. Another
factor to bo given consideration Is that
when liquidation, now being forced in
commodities, real estate and farm lands,
bo completed, tho United States will un
doubtedly havo a healthy credit situation.
- Selling International Stocks.
Weakness was conspicuous yesterday
among the so-called "International
stocks," which -are mediums of trading
ln this country and abroad, and gave rise
to the generally expressed belief that thi,
Bolshevist scare Is taken more seriously
abroad than It Is on this side of tho
Atlantic Royal Dutch and Shell Trans
port, which have held well during the
recent attack on the oils, were particu
larly soft, as was Canadian Paclfl;.
There undoubtedly has been considerable
foreign liquidation In securities since tho
turn of the year, but It has been very
evenly distributed and has not caused
any great amount of comment. London
wjs reported purchaser of Royal Dutch
and Shell Transport on the way down In
this market jesterday for arbitrage.
nrltlah-Amerlrnn Tobacco,
Announcement was received hero yes
terday of a declaration In London of a
Ilnal dividend of 6 per cent, on tho or
dinary shares of the British-American
Tobacco Company, tree of all British
taxes. In addition It was announced
that tho company would pay a 1919
1920 Interim dividend of 6 per cent, on
Its ordinary shares. A plan for a read
justment of Its capital has been decided
upon, It was learned. Involving an In
crease of 5,500,000 ordinary shares,
which, with other unissued shares, will
be offered to present stockholders of tho
ordinary stock of record on January 2S

acknowledged, has followed a policy of
conciliation nnd fair dealing. . . .
Tho output of the Price Bros, mill at
Kenogaml, Quebec. Is 250 tons dally,
and it will be doubled during the yenr,
all for export trade. Inquiry has been
made of Ottawa from Washington as
to the partial embargo of newsprint.
This artificial situation ennnot be al
lowed to continue for the benefit of the
Binaller Canadian dally papers, which
are chiefly rcsposlble for the difficulty.
Tho mills have assured them that there
will be no difficulty on supply If price
control Is set aside. Yet they hesitate
to ralso advertising and subscription
rates, even though conditions are favor
able and plenty of money is In circula
tion. It Is proposed that In lieu of direct
paper control as at present a new sys
tem of taxation bo Imposed on paper
mills. Where tho forests are leased from
tho Federal Government there Is no dif
ficulty, but Crown lands In Ontario, Que
bec and British Columbia belong to the
provinces.
With Increased capacity for produc
tion according to plans for 1920 both
American and Canadian needs can be
taken caro of next year. The policy of,
tho Canadian mills with only two excep
tions has been to pursue a discreet mod
erate policy on price and treat American
buyers fairly.
