bo almost wholly negative for the market continues near the level of stagnation A slight raise was given to the opening by the higher level of prices In London but the room traders closed their contracts I con-tracts before tim days end and brought i the level of prices back to near last I nights close Sugar moved quite easily at a hlghr range than yesterday und exactly ex-actly recovered yesterdays loss as a net result Long Island was quite active and moved up to S9 but closed unchanged The bonds of the company continued In active demand The statement that the Pennsylvania Penn-sylvania had acquired control found considerable con-siderable credence but tin working agreement agree-ment with the New York Central Is be llevid to be Involved In the deal Tho 4 J story of a steamship service to run from tho Long Island coast wns revived In > connection with the movement In the I I stock 1 The reports of the mercantile agencies I served to conllrm the Impression of the reactionary course of prices of commodities commodi-ties and of trade activity The current stagnation In Wall street Is the logical outcomn of thoso conditions Buyers arc out of the market But holders of securities securi-ties are not yet sure that the current reaction re-action Is not making for the utltlmatc health of business It Js perceived that the recent high level of prices wan such as not only to unduly tmulJito production produc-tion but also to dPircasiythL consumptive demand Securities ur obviously being llrmly held until the problem of the level of prices and lie volumuxof consumption shall adJust ilsellf to afford a basis for estimating future returns Tho stock market has given evidence during the week of having reached an adjustment to the new conditions presented pre-sented by the unexpected developments in the Iron and stc I trade of three weeks ago The liquidation Induced by that do volopment overran Itself as the Invariable rule with speculative movements and the bears last week had to bid up prices to get back stocks which had been sold short This week tho market has been without Iho sustaining force of the demand for the oversold bears and lie vibration of prices has been diminished Tho pro fosslonal traders 5n stocks In whlso hands operations have been largely left huvo mot with little success In moving prices Tho declines from their short selling have brought out very little stock and the prices attracted no following to tako stocks off their hands Buyers want more light on tho future course of business before taking on stocks A large cause of perplexity over the outlook is lie present rcllux of cur rencv to New York bank reserves from the Interior Tho gold export movement now filrlv Inaugurated Is mt result of this Ordinarily the exportation of gold hns an unfavorable effect on the stock on account ac-count of time apprehension aroused that tightness of money may result In the present that fleet Is duo to the feeling that the plethoric condition of the money market Is 1L register of declining interior trade and rodm d weds for moniy owing to the decreased business The recent developments In the flleel trade give sue clal point to this apprehension That the countrys business Is not find lug full employment for all tho monpy in tho century Is evident from tile acuon of the money markets but tho Increase m tIm money supply seems to bo taken ln sulllclcntly Into account According to the monthly statement of the United States treasury of tho total amount of money In circulation In the country Inclusive of cash In
