BEKF1' STEERS, By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES. Chicago Trlbuna-4mab Be Leased Wire, vjiew York, Jan. 25. The ,halt in the upward movement of foreign ex change, practically the first check to the progressive rise which has occurred for 10 days attracted the greater share of . Wall street's in terest today. This reaction . began after sterling had made a iunher advance r $3.80, the highest of the year; a rate which represented a total rise 'of five cents within i week and of '27Sc thus far in the new year. It closed unchanged from Monday. Other exchanges as a, rule drifted lower all day, -in the rate on Paris selling about fie be low Monday's close. Wall street was disposed to ascrlb the French financier comtplaslonar In this city, Fench financial commissioner In this city, to the effect that the predicted $100,000, 000 French government loan was a matter of rumor only and that "thera la no ncoeasity for such an operation at th present time." This statement may have Itiriii.nnmJ tli H...I. .. .". k.. .. . . .. ....... . .u,no., uul H .1 O, JI II. k 1 u& fact, the recnt pace of the upward move- jj,ment In exchange and the evidence of accumulating speculation for the rise in tne past tew days, had made Miction probahle in any case. It has also been well enough known that the French negotia tions had not passed the tentative stage. Possibly the Paris financiers believe that more favorable terms may be obtained by waiting until the American money market has adjusted itaelf somewhat further to the new conditions. Traction Btocka Advance. Today's stock market presented! the now familiar mixture of isolated advances and declines; the only movement which could be attached to current news being the sharp advance at the opening' In both stoclts and bonds of thev street railway companies, followed tn the later trading ly the loss of most or all of th earlier gains The advance was obviously In response to Governor Miller's message on the traction situation; which waa undoubtedly encour aging to an who nop tor intelligent; nanaitng or tnis complicated Question in stead of the stupid reiteration of catch words with which our city administration discusses. It Is likely, however, that Wall Street was disappointed at he absence of iiai recommenaauou- ic. a higher pis senger fare and by the uncertainties In. volved In the proposal for a unified ays. tern not o.jly devoid of opportunity for speculative profit, out go adjusted that profitable parts of the v system shbuld "maintain) th unprofitable." We are likely to hear a good deal 'more of thla general plan. .
