New York, Dec. 9. While prices on some of today's markets, contin ued to move uncertainly, the finan cial tendencies "of the day were sharply ' emphasized in the silver market and. on the Stock Exchange The fall in Silver bullion was spec tacular. One day's decline of 3yi pence per ounce at London is not unprecendented in tm period of vi olcnt'rise or fat in price, during thi great decline of June it fell SH pence in one day and 6 in another. But today's decline, which makes a total decline of 9fg pence in less than a fortnight, has not only occurred v,hn prices were below those of last June, but when our, own treas-.. ury's purchases at an artificial price of all the American product offered have been cmtinning. '. '' ' ;- What the present movement sig nifies as to conditions in the far east can readily enough be conjectured; but it is also part of the amazingly rapid readjustment into which the entire economic world seems to hav'e plunged. Presume on Industrials. The day's stock market, In which the heavy pressure .again converged on the IndustrlnX shares, was plainly under the Influence of Wall street's Idea regarding the condition of producing companies and their prospeot as to dividends. Two cr three more of these companies. Including one motor concern, annouucod today either a cut In dividends or the making of cur rent payments in stock, anl this had 'its natural effect on sentiment. ' Perhaps It Is useless to remind Wall-street that such a sequel to what has already occurred in the field of trade and prices was in evitable, except Itr-tho case of companies whose past fiscal poljly has been extreme ly prudent. The lnrerenco drawn by the speculative community, that we havo not yet wholly completed the reckoning for the particular cxtravagences of many Company managers In list year's period of delusion. Is no doubt correct. But in Well street's present mood, It Is easy to exaKKerate the facts, Taken as a whole, the foreign exchange market was gratifying steady; recover ing later from Its early declines and prob ably moving In accord with the longer money market outlook. The very great weaknw of exchange on Oretco was easy to understand; that at least has to. do with political causes. Noborly oan saw predict exactly what situation or what Ji tepiiatlonal relations will follow the rcttin of Constantlne. V Interest in Bank Statements. Thore was consldcrabla lriatter of In terest In today's foreign weekly bank statements. The Bank of England cut down Its loans far enough to ruse . ratio of reserve against deposits from last eks 1 per cent; the low level of this generation to per cent, Lven so, the percentage remains at an almost unprecedcntedly low figure, and the weekly statements between now and ne mw year will be watched with J "': The Bank of France reported 653,000,000 francs reduction In outstanding notes for the past wek, which makes a total con traction of 1,722,000,000 francs In the paper, currency since November 3, and Lings the remaining total within 260,000, 000 francs of the total reported at the end. of .19b-. .This achievement, the out come of the Vew French popular loan, contrasts with the. movement V.'SSiiaS? of Germany, whose reduction, of l.OOO.OOO.. (.00 marks In the paper circulation, re ported in November, was followed In this week's statement ' by a fresh expansion of 1,690,000,000 to the highest recorded tctal.
