A REACTION IN sToGKs.
The Market Opens Strong, But Does
Not Remain So.


New York, Dec. 15.-After opening
strong and active and continuing firm
during the forenoon, the stock market
developed decidedly reactionary tone in
the subsequent dealings. There was no
specific news nor any change of impor-
tance In the outside situation which would
account for the pronounced recessions IN
prices, and indeed the general downward
movement in the market seemed TO be
wholly of technical character. The
realization of profits has. of course, been
in progress in immense volume during tn.
week and today the new buying was tenn
porarily outstripped by the continued
liquidation. In a general way 1t may be
assumed that the result of the weeks
dealings has been a transfer of securities
from strong hands to weaker ones. and
the large room traders were active today
in utilizing this circumstance in ag-
gressive attacks upon several quar-
ters of the market. While II Is
highly probable owing to the activity
in the stock market this week and the
movement of men in the meantime. that
the bank statement will show a rednc-
tion in reserves, such an issue was not
foreshadowed in the days money ntsr-
ket The banks have lost in their trans
actions with the subtreasury about s., 500.-
coo. and appear to have gained small
amount on balance on account of the
currency movement from and to the in
terror. Against the loss to the sub
treasury. there may be set the 81. .e1o, COZ
gold received from Europe, but after all
the chief factor in determining the bank
statement tomorrow will be the change
in the loan account. II Is not improbable
ia this last respect that the increased
Borrowings of commission houses whose
loans are unquestionabiy heavily extended
may be offset to some extent by the liqui-
dation On the part of the large specuia-
tive and manipuIative pools
Aside from the conjectures in regard
to the showing to be made by the banks,
the days situation afforded little ground
for discussion. The negotiations for the
sale of Chicago and Alton continued with
out definite conclusion. The stock mar
ket moved with practical uniformity, be-
ing, as noted, strong at the opening, later
reacting and toward the close scoring
a partial recovery.
