New, York. Dec. 28. A quiet money market preyailed today, with rates for all periods unchanged; a. bond market in which some prices went slightly higher and others slightly lower; a foreign exchange market whose rates moved witlwsim ilar lack of uniformity; a commodity market in which wheat declined and cotton went to the low price of the year and the lowest since the mid dle of 1916, and a stock market which. ii its mixture of advances and declines was pretty much a duplicate of Monday's. The day s whole movement of values war little more than embodiment of the utter perplexity of the financial mind, tinged with the disappointment which perhaps supersedes all other considerations. In the rather unusually long list of separate shares dealt in on be Stock exchange, net declines were the more numerous, yet the dav's net ad vances much more nearly balanced them than a glance at the table would suggest. Railways stocks, as a group, were distinctly strong, and while most of the changes in price were comparatively unimportant, only two or three lost ground and several advanced a point or more. Comparisons Favorablo. Aside from the fact, on which pro fessional Wall Street 'Uys muc strew, that losses for Income tax ruturns cannot be as easily "established" by selling rail way shares at ruling prices by Industrial .hares, mora consideration vl clently Is being granted to the Uttorenee-ht the position of the two groups of ontar. prises as compared with 1 year a so. What Is an mora to the point, th November earnings of the railways, now in course of publication, are making very different and far mora lavo.rW ' Com parisons with 1919 than did those 1 of September and October. Companies which In those months actually rtportsd smallet net receipts than a year ago have a sub stantial increase tor.hof for November. This result la -obtained In ost cases through much largfr net earnings than In ' other, months since the new rates ara effective. That Is precisely what railway managers bad predicted: the retroactive part of the July wage award must now bo pretty wuch allowed for in the monthly ac- CThe''day,s partlclar weakness In various speculative Industrial shares occurred from the same causes and under the same kind of selling as' has characterised the market for them all this month. Possibly tho passing of the Anaconda Copper Min ing company's dividend for tho first time BliTce 1896J had Its effect, although tho action was not unexpected and the com pany's stocks declined only a fraction. But the accompanying statement of net profits for the present calendar year In a somewltat striking sidelight on the ef fect of the falling prices for commodities like cjpper. ( . . t Deficit Large. , Even with tho fourth quarterly divi dend omitted, the actual deficit after dividends for tho year is 34.400,000. Prob ably tho suspension of dividends would not have ueen noted earlier In the year but for belief in the copper trade, as In others, that prices of commodities were bound to recover In the autumn. The striking inference from the figures of agricultural 1 experts for November, published today by the government, is their proof that tha whole decrease In last montsrs export values as compared with 1118 occurred in products of tho farm. This is quite contrary to the pop ular impression, which ha been that our export trade was at present being sus tained only by grain and cotton. But while November total exports were 366, 000,000 1 han in the preceding year. Its agricultural exports fell off 361,100,. 000. From this it follows that, notwlth t.nifta thn lower crlcea and the flnan. I ell- reaction In foreign importing mar bV'ts, last month's xo-ts o no-agilcui-r.....i ..in.iii 14.100.000 areat- er In total value than in November of 1919.- Probably tho iron and steel trado accounts for most of this. In October, when general condition were the same, our export of wholly or partly manufactured goods Increased 351,000.000 over 1818. and the complete report on that month's trade shewed that ths textll industry contributed 39,000,000 to this ln--....

It is remarkable how tho people of a-country wijl suddenly reach an almost unanimous conclusion.

We predict that the next ' great development of mass psychology will be a flood of liquidation.
