Stock Market Saved from Panic

PRICES EBBED AND FLOWED

New York, December 19.-The concerted
measures of the most powerful financial in
forests in the country proved effective today
in checking the progress toward panic and
collapse in the stock market. Supporting
orders were distributed all through the list
and at the opening, prices were advanced
in an effort to restore confidence. But liqui-
dauion continued on a very heavy scale,
and prices went lower again after the open
ing.
The advance in the Bank of Germany's
official discount rate from 6 to per cent,
and hardening of the private discount rate
in London with reports from that center of
further engagements of gold from New
York for shipment this week helped to un-
settle confidence.
Prices ebbod and flowed between reaction
and recovery many times before the flood
of liquidation had been finally absorbed and
the selling brought to a standstill.
The decision OF the banks to use all their
resources to accommodate the demand for
loans, the determination of the secretary of
the treasury to largely increase the gov
eminent deposits with depository banks and
the course of funds from domestic centers
toward New York in response to the acute
needs developed yesterday all tended to re-
assurance. The interval since yesterday IN
itself helped to quiet somewhat the hysteri-
cal apprehensions of yesterday, and condi-
lions at no time today approached panic.
When the tide of liquidation was seen to be
stemmed by the abundant resources afford
ed prices set about violent recovery under
urgent demands from the short interest,
and active bidding up by the traders and
insiders. The sharp advances invited some
realizing, but the undertone of the market
continued strong up to the close, which
was at net gains ranging from to Il points
for the principal stock.
Investment buyers of bonds was in evil
dence and this market generally responded
to the late strength in stocks, but there
was a number of acute declines, which
served to make the tone whole irregu-
lar. Total sales, par value, S3,0SOOOO

New York, December 19-The Commercial
Advertisers London financial cablegram
says: The market here steadied at the OPEN
ing but liquidation soon developed and con-
tinued heavy throughout the day in all the
markets. The rumor that large firm OF

hention. Consols fell to 9Sia, rallied to 1914,
and closed at 9S%. American stocks began
well about the panic prices yesterday
Steady realization, however, caused a grad
ual sagging until, when New York opened
at no advance above London prices a sharp
relapse occurred. There was a rally, which
in some cases carried prices in the street
after the close two points up.

COTTON MARKET
WAS MORE NARROW
There Was a General Upward
Tendency
CLOSED WITH STEADY GAIN
AS Rule the Character of Business
Was Much More Normal. and
Largely in Direction of
REIMBURSEMENT

New York, December 19-The swing of
the cotton market was decidedly more mar
row; yesterday it was a matter of 43 points.
Today it was matter of 19 points, with
the general tendency upward. The opening
call developed the fact that a good many
eleventh-hour selling orders had reached
the market from scattered quarters, but
these were partly absorbed with the rear
position, showing leading strength; they
advanced to II points on the call while the
more remote deliveries advanced only to
2 points. The principal cause of the bear
feeling was the rehabilitation made In mo-
ney circles.
To the great decline which occurred here
Liverpool responded with net loss of to
2 points only and closed firm. Following
the opening call the general tendency of
sentiment was in the direction of a more
bullish view. In this the south took the
leadership, particularly in the matter of
spot offerings. Inyes tment buying was no
small part of the days transactions. Gov
ering, however, was the principal feature.
AT the best point of the day the market
showed d net gain of 12a13 points. During
the session occasional rumors of renewed
panicky tendencies in Wall street made the
cotton market waver and indicated the de-
pendence of the staple upon re-established
conditions in Wall street. 1t is estimated
that todays business in cotton futures was
considerably less than half oil that of yes
terday. Some heavy lots were also dealt
In today; but as a rule the character of the
business was much more normal and large
ly in the direction of readjustment and sup
ports by substantial margins.
AT the close the market was steady in
tone with prices II to 10 points net higher
on the present crop and l to 2 points net
lower on the far months.

Taibt 1T ~ Palmer's Cotton letter
By Private Wire from Fairehild & Hob
son.
New Orleans, December 19.-Unlike the
American markets of yesterday, Liverpool
was only 21a-64ths down at the worst to-
day, while spots were quoted off lid on
sales of 10 600 bales. English government
securities were lower, however, consols for
money closing at 9S1a, which in Itself was
rot favorable feature. Stocks in Thread
Needle street were much better, and to
this encouragement must be attributed the
rally in the Liverpool market, where de-
liveries closed only 1 lower than yesterday
in conformity with more cheerful foreign
advices. American prices for cotton con-
tracts advanced points at The opening,
March selling at 6.95. The feeling on this
side in the early hours was not favorable
to an advance on Wall street, and was not
encouraging, March here declining to $50,
but later specials from abroad being higher
had the desired effect and the market took
a turn for the better. Sellers of yesterday
were buyers today, and this support with
that of an easier money market in the late
hours, together with the movement lun-
ming lighter, both at the pouts and interior,
than last week, braced the market up and

Talbot & Planners stock Letter

BY Private Wire from the New York Sum-
New York, December 19.-Money on call
continued to command very high rates to-
day. The knowledge that yesterdays ex-
perience would not be repeated, and that
acconYm odation could DE had when neces-
sary produced thorough reversal in the
market conditions. In the first hour the
market tone was quite uncertain, but in
the course Of the day a complete recovery
in prices occurred. These rallies reached
round figures in the instances of New York
Central, Louisville and Nashville, North
western, Rock Island, st. Paul and stand
ard issues generally, and as was to be eX-
pected, the industrials and specialties also
recovered sharply. The dealings were by
no means in so large volume as on yester-
day, burt they were we'll diversified and gem
orally marked by a tone of confidence that
was wholly absent then. Sterling exchange
weakened somewhat under the influence of
the high money rates prevailing. But on
the other hand it rose sharply both in
Paris and Berlin, twlthstanding the high
er discount rates prevailing at the latter
point. One of the most reassuring fea-
lures of the whole day was the absence of
any further business casualties, and the
fact that there was none is substa ntial tes-
timony that the inherent strength of the
situation al Jorge.

New York, December 19.-The market to-
day has been decidedly quiet. There has
been a light spot business and mai! orders
as usual on Tuesday have been below the
average Prices for quick delivery OF all
descriptions of cotton goods are decidedly
firm owing TO scarcity OF ready supplies,
but brown cotton sellers are occasionally
ra ther hard to deal with. No change in
bleacged cottons, wide sheetngs or coarse
cclored goods Print cloths inactive, but
firm.
