Upset.
v.
. N'ewYork, Dec. 15. The perplex
ing railroad sitnation, higher money
rites, due mainl ro extraordinarily
heavy disbursements by and to the
federal government, and increasing
concern respecting the course of
tore:gn military and political develop
ments were the more disturbing fea
tures of another very unsettled week
" tse stock market.
i-he tapiiiiar tale of new low rec
ords was "repeated with added force
a"d breadth, many high class rail
way and mdr-trial issues joining the
already long list of new minimums
tor periods extending from a few
years to almost a generation. Appre
1 ension wa accentuated by concur
rent declines in various foreign gov
ernment bonds and domestic rails to
levels vhfch plainly denoted the lack
cf buying power or indifference of in
vestors. Intimations of further price adjust
ment of important commodities by
the war board also served to bring
about fresh liquidation, but subse
quent unofficial advices anent that sit
uation were more reassuring.
Rallies of two to almost five points
occurred in leading stocks toward the
end of the week, the movement evi
dently being prompted by a realiza
tion or attractive dividend returns and
con side-able short covering.
General trade condition, are re
ported as fairly satisfactory, but the
reaction in bank clearings offered
proof of a moderate setback in many
:ine3 of industry.
'is:!ingtt:i. Dec. 15. Weather
predictions for the week beginning
Sunday, tvsued by the weather bureau
today, are:
Northern Reck-.- mountains and
plateau regions: Fret 'teat snows, with
rapid alterations of temperature:
temperature slightly above the normal
on the whole.
Southern Rocky mountain and
plateau regions: Fair, without de
cided temperature changes.
