Dec. 8.~-Sentlment in financial circles was heartened today by the decidion of the stock exchango to resume restricted trading in stocks on Saturday. This feeling was accen tuated hy the firmer tendency shown by nearly all classes of securities. The day's list of stocks submitted for pub lication showed several additions to that issued yesterday, indicating Bteady extension of the demand. Willie no apprehension was enter tained respecting the wisdom of thc move made by the exchange, lt may be Bald that every precaution to insure Its success will be taken. The fact that it has not been deemed necessary to form a money pool to be used as a back stop against ??avy' liquidation was regarded'as an indication that of ferings would find read, absorption. Another safeguard will be .'uiuid in the level of prices at which all stocks over $15 may be sold. Further demand for exchange on Berlin was the'sol? featuro of the market for foreign remittance, cables to that center being quoted at 92 1-2 with sight drafts at 92.. . Private advices from Washington suggested an early decision by the in terstate commerce commission in the eastern freight,rate case. Continued ease marked the local money situation; call and time loans being made at the prevailing low rates. Interior banks bought more freely of mercantile paper, these acceptances coinciding with encouraging trade ad vices. Unofficial news respecting the steel industry suggested a better inquiry for special products, with a contin uance of ttie deadlock for equipment materials. November tonnage ot the United States Steel Corporation, to be published on- Thursday, was expected to disclose another decrease in unfill ed orders. .-o New York Cotton NEW YORK,,Dec, 8.-Publication Qf the census cotton ginning figures was followed by more discussion as to the probable size of the crop than noted in cotton circles here previous ly UIBI season.
