TAKEN AS A PRECAUTION RELIEF FUNjj RAISED FOR IV'EW, YORK MONEY MARKET. Protective Measures Check. Danger. oas-Looklnp: Decline in Stocks and Close Is Trnnn.ull. NEW YORK, Dec. 15. The protective meas ures, agreed .upon, by the banks of this city had the effect of checking a dangerous-looking decline In the stock market today, and the market closed tranquil and rather dull. The undertone at the last waa firm, and the losses of the earlier part of the day generally were recovered. When 'Saturday's level had been reaehmi on the recovery, the action of the mar ket Indicated that the- .measures taken by the' banking community were by no means de signed to Induce speculation for the rise at this time. Prices dt the market leaders, as they rose over Saturday's level, were held back. by very liberal offerings. The statement was made that no fears were entertained of the situation, and that the formation of the .proi tectlve pool was only a precautionary measure; and probably no action would be required on the part of Its members -In the way of supply ing funds to the market. While the knowledge ot the steps taken bythe ruling powers In the financial world Induced a feeling of great re lief In all quarters, the belief was not' disguised that the pool was an emergency measure, not differing In kind or degree from those adopted In other pertods-of crises In Wall street. The action of the market this morning, on top of last week's violent decline, following as that did also a prolonged period of , gradual de cline, awakened real anxiety over the outcome The violent measures adopted In the Venezue lan trouble added to the uneasiness. Senti ment was also pessimistic over the money, mar ket. The" opening rate was 10 per cent, and the day's large syndicate requirements and the heavy accumulations for the Standard Oil divi dend aroused the fear that" there would be ad ditional large, withdrawals of credit Not only the immediate, but the prospective syndicate needs, running up to many millions ot dollars', were calculated to aggravate the fears of bor rowers. The statement) of the country's foreign trade for November was discouraging an to the foreign exehango situation, showing, as it did, a decrease In the balance of trade In our favor of over $24,000,0001 compared with No vember, 1901. The small Interior grain move ment lessened the effect also of the recent re vival In grain exports. Later In the day some effect wasproduced upon sentiment by the rise In Chicago exchange from 25c premium on Saturday to 40c premium today. The payment by the Subtreasury of $350,000 on a telegraphic transfer from .San Francisco marked the abatement of a demand upon-the-New York money market, which has.! caused much apprehension. The foreign ex change market also weakened materially. This last-named fcatufe was directly due to the money rate. What effect upon all these fac tors mav result from thn nrnvlnlnn nf n . '000,000 relief fund for the New York money 'j market is a problem which Is. the subject of imuch Interesting surmise. The market showed f-ome nesuauan ai.me ciose, Dut tne tone was .Arm. The bond market, was broad and In J.he jaorn ing was weak,-but Bhowed fome recovery. To tal sales, par1 value, $3,120,000. United States bonds were all unchanged" on the last call.
