New York. Dec. 23.-Several factors COM
bined in the last hour of trading on the
stock market to-day to lift 1T out of the
dullness and depression which had been
its character all day and to raise prices
quite sharply above last nights level. One
of these factors was the subsistence of ap-
prehension earlier in the day caused by the
closing of the Chestnut Street bank in Phil
adelphia. Another was that the Joint
Traffic Association had succeeded in secur-
ing measures going to assure the restora-
ton and maintenance of established tariffs
on live stock. provisions and grain from
Western to Eastern points. Another was
the announcement from the treasury de-
partment at Washington that sufficient
amounts of the current Is We're being Of
fered for redemption on December Y. in
accordance with the governments proffer.
to assure relief to the money market from
the scarcity threatened by the Withdrawals
of the Union Pacific payment to the gov
ernment Still another factor was the news
from Albany that the railroad commission
had extended by two years the period for
e%quipping freight ears with automatic
couplings in New York state. A number of
the specialties. which had showed marked
strength all day. took on renewed b%uoyancy
at the close and helped on the rise. The
movement in the general list was not i'm
portant. the trading being in small volume
and representing little more than the COW
ering of traders short contracts. Call
money loaned as high as 4 per cent, again.
and did not yield below , per cent. There
was a further fall of Il in the actual rate
for demand sterling, and of Is for cables
and long sterling. Demand sterling at the
lowest point touched since the gold import
movement in September. namely s4.S44.
The rates for money in London and Berlin
are stiffiy held and some apprehension of a
London. This serves to Offset the weakness
in the exchange rates.
The bond market was heavy.
