NEW YORK, Nov. 27 -After virtual ly four months of enforced idleness, | necessitated by the war, the slock ex change will reopen tomorrow for re-' strlcted trading in listed bonds. The financial district was In a state of mild excitement today in anticipation of the event On the trading floor of the exchange1 today carpenters erected a platform ?for the special committee of five which has acted as a tribunal for the institution since its suspension and probably will continue in that capaci ty until res tors ton of norm ? condi tion. Before the opening of tomorrow's, session the committee will fix mini mum prices for all bonds which may change hands under the terms speci fied. In the more active bond group con cessions of 2 to S points from July 30 closing prices probably will be al lowed, but in the more obscure issues decline j may run to aa much aa five points. All transactions will be for cash, which will tend to shut out spec ulative trading and act aa a partial deterrent agin at foreign selling. Every effort will be made to mln?rlxe trading for European Interests, al though/bankers with English and con tinental connections virtually are un animous In declaring they know of no i concerted liquidating movement from abroad. In former times a largo part of the bond business was done by members or firms which made a specialty ot such securities, but Judging fro. r. the large attendance of traders on the floor today, much of tomorrow's buy ing and sci li cg promises to emanate from general sources. The decision of authorities to quote all sales on the tickers will add to tho widespread Interest In th ereopen ihg. Bankers and other financial in terests received numerous out of town inquiries today, many .soliciting ad vice respecting their present holdnga Or prospective Investments. Conservative brokers said that they did bot look for any definite trend during tomorrow's brief session. Oth ers seemed to tear offerings soon would cause an all-round decline to minimum prises, thereby bringing the market to an automatic conclusion. In no quarter was there any disposi tion to decry the sentimental effect of tho reopening. Should tho inquiry for bonds Indicate a genuine investment demand it ia not at all unlikely the governors may consider extending the trading to the more active stocks be fore, the end of the year. If that is done minimum . prices will be estab lished tn every instance. -o Financial ? NEW YORK. Nov. 27.-Local Inter-1 est in financial affaira today converg ed mainly about the WAX* exchange and its reopening tomorrow tor limit ed dealings bx bonds. Tho movement waa recognised as partaking largely of tho nature of an experiment and will be regarded aa affording the best and only val?anle teat of domestic invest ment conditions. It is perhaps something more than a coincidence that the Paris Bourse is to resume operations on a strictly cash basis early tn the coming month and that some of the smaller ex changes in this country are to take cintilar action next week. Money showed greater ease and the fact that a regular money market would accompany trading on the ex change from Monday next might be accepted aa further proof of a gradual return to normal. Banka of the clear ing house will report a large cash tosses, according to most forecasts, but tho surplus ot these Institutions will not he materially affected. Exchange on London waa steady, I slgtit draft showing some firmness on I a moderato tnqurty. Ia continental exchange francs ead marks moved contrarily; the former being strang ead th? latter Increasingly heavy.
