The New York Clearing House-May Issue Loan Certificates—Buying Orders Are Pouring In—All ,Stocks Show Gratifying Advances. NEW YORK, Dec. 24.'—A much more hopeful feeling was apparent in Wall street today before the opening of busi- ness. This feeling was ascribable. to sev- eral developments whose influences will be potent for good. Chief among these Were the indications of a less hasty tem- per in the press and the people of England and America over the Venezuelan dis- pute. This was locked for to put a stop for the time to the heavy English selling of our securities which - precipitated last week’s panic. A reflection of this matter was shown in the London quotations for American stocks, which were seen before the opening here to be quoted at advances pxceeding 1 point. The full advance in the London market has been 2 per cent on an average, but half of the gain was lost in a. reaction. The London business in Americans was reported exceedingly heavy. Besides that, it was known very early that the settlement at the Stock Exchange clearing house had been perfected. Tak- ing into account the enormous business of the last two business days, the work of the clearing house force was considered ex- traordinary, and the brokers congratulat- ed, themselves on the working of their still new institution. A great deal of trouble had been looked for at the settle- ment, so the relief in this respect was very great. More important still was the announce- ment that the clearing house executive committee of the associated banks would authorize the issue of loan certificates, or else would ask the full clearing house to sanction such action. What the executive committee recommends “goes” with the association. This action was expected to put an end at once to all fears of the ex: cessively high rates for money which pro- vailed on Friday and Saturday. The ac- tion of the clearing house had not been generally expected. Committee's Action Commended. Similar action by theclearing house has never yet failed of effect in breaking a stringent money market. It was resorted to before in the Baring panic of 1390 and the so called currency panic in 1251):}. . The decision of the executive committee of the clearing house to 1"." ,smmend an issue of loan certificates 11.15 cabled to London and had a sustaining efiect on the stock market there. The action of the committee was generally commended in Wall street today. Upon the opening of business it was ap- parent that the improving sentiment had not been misplaced. Brokers’ offices were crowded with customers and the houses with large p1 ‘vate wire connections were flooded with 3' lying orders. The opening of business 1 5.5 quite as excited as on Saturday, 11' : the boot was on the other leg and the 11 Arket was the reverse of its predecessor. - ipening prices were at ad~ vances of from 3 to 6 points, and still fur- ther gains were made from the first priceI. Naturally in such an excited market there were frequent and sharp reactions, but the strong tone was not diminished. Still further encouragement was given to the market by the announcement by several of the largest international bankers that they would either ship no gold this week or as littio as possible. This meant that for the time the with- drawal or (1 1:: its by foreign money lend- ers had been stopped. The improved ii clin gs extends all along the lists.

The spectators clung to their positions for perhaps half an hour, and then realizing that no lively scenes were likely to take place began to leave. It was announced that the assay office will close tomorrow at 12 o’clock noon. This action was taken owing to an order from the director of the mint. Superintendent Corsa said that he knew of no reason for the' order except that it is an antcholiday order. While it was a somewhat unusual thing to do, similar crders have been received before.
