This stock looks like an attractive in vestment, paying 7 per cent; the price advanced quickly on Saturday from to 96, closing at 95 1-2 In Boston and 94 1-2 in Chicago. , ' New York, Jan. 6. The opening of the new year sees a disposition reflect- tad In the financial markets to turn from the contemplation of mournful yesterdays and to look forward with heje and confidence to the future. The conviction is firmly based that decided Improvement is ahead but this convict tion his been tempered by some anxiety over a possible remnant of unpleasant consequences of the financial crisis yet to be gone through. A special field of Uneasiness was the provision for Ihe annual settlements in the money mar kets, which were unusually heavy, while the resources of the money mar ket, although rapidly improving were still much impaired. The smoothness with which the turn of the year was effected, went far to encourage senti ment and to stabllsh the confidence v that steady improvement in the finan- 1 clal position was to be expected for ward. The call money rate did not get higher than 20 per cent., which com pares with a maximum of 45 per cent. In the corresponding week of last year ' and 125 per cent, in the year preced teg. Still more significant of the growing improvement of the position was the rapid dwindling and disappearance of the premium on gold, which signalized the first business day of the new year. So long as the premium persist ed an unsurroundable obstacle to the re-establishment of a normal banking position. This development led to the withdrawal of all New York bids for the large consignment of South Af rl can gold which arrived in the London market oh Monday. The London mar ket was so far re-assured by this de. velopment that a rapid decline ensued In the London discount rate and the tank of England was contrained on hursday to mark down its official dis count -rate from 7 per cent, to 6 per ient ' i norder to avoid losing touch avlth the money market. The 7 per lent, in order to avoid losing touch .tinued distrust in the outside world of the American position and .its aban donment marks the return of faith in the passing of our crisis. In New York additional funds have appeared In the time loan market and business In that department has taken on some degree of activity, although Interest rates continued high. Growing demand for hlgb grade mercantile paper also offers promise of relief from one of the most threatening sources of embar rassment to come, growing out of the heavy maturities falling due in that de partment from time to time. The shrinkage in buying power which has gone with the financial unheaval, the elownees of mercantile collections and the stringency of the money market, which offered small prospect of ade quate accommodation for the extension of needed credits, threatened a com blnatlon of circumstances from which disastrous consequences were dreaded. Credit experts In the New York banks are more hopeful of needed accommo datlondation being forthcoming to fa cilitate the process of liquidation, which is a recognized necessity, to Borne extent, in commercial affairs, and which It is now hoped may be conduct ed with deliberation and good order. The publication of the bank state inent at the close of the week disclosed the free Inflow of currency to New York for the week. This development Is of the utmost importance as mark- In the passing of the feeling of dls trust of the New York position, anil promising a rapid re-establishment of the normal banking position. It thus happens that the financial markets have been disposed to Ignore some immediate favorable factors In affairs, cheered by the brightening fi nancial prospect. The course or railroad earnings re ported was another restraining factor on Immoderate enthusiasm values. Sev eral of the great railroad systems, in cluding notably the Atchison and the Pennsylvania, showed a heavy inroad on last year s level of net earnings In the return for Novembor. owing to the heavy expansion or operating expenses. Railroad traffic officials. In reporting on the more recent course of traffic, make candid acknowledgment of the rapid shrinkage In the movement of mer chandise of all descriptions, except grain, and of their Inability to discern R. probable source nf a yearly Improve ment. The professional speculative rontlngent about th stock exchange harbors a certain amount of suspicion of the rose In prices as belnir due nos- Klbly to fostering measures by bankers nnd capitalists of large resources with the design to afford a more favorable basis for the completion of some de sired liquidation when the expected re. taxation in me money market may stimulate some general aemand rnr se curities. The bond market is scanned with at tention and interest from day to day to detect evidence nf a renewed flow of floating capital Into Investment. Some Increase of activity was discoverable last week, but the demand was moder ate, in snlte of the large disbursement of dividends and Interest to supply a fund for reinvestment. The average price of twenty active stocks on New York Stock exchange was 90.36 per cent. A year ago the average price of the same stocks was 130.60. , Dividends soon due are: Anaconda Copper, 50c; payable, Jan uary 15; books close, January 4.
