The characteristics of the market
more its apathy and its oteadineds in
the fact of'the still unfavorable posi-
tion of money. Traders deemed it haz-
ardous to enter upon new ventures
owing to the tension in money, but at
the some time there was no pressure
to sell. The result was inertia. The
attendance on the door of the Ex-
change was small and trading was re
duced to a low point. The approach or
the Thanksgiving holiday was partly
responsible for the dullness. There
was some pressure on Canadian Paci-
no and Reading, and Lehigh Valley

and Generslgmectric were strong. Oin-
erwls-a fluctuations of stock were nan
