No Further Trace of MOnday's Hyster-
 icaI Fit for Chicago Failures. New York, Dec. 19.-There was no further trace in the stock market to- day of yesterdays hysterical fit over
 the Chicago bank trouble Speculative 1 holders who had been swept off their feet seemed to have their composure i restored or to have given place to other holders of a firmer determination. It was asserted, in fact, that the shaking , out of weakly secured holdings by yes- terday's sudden slump had benefited the market. There was evidence also of some requirements to cover shorts, ] which presumably were the after re- suits of yesterdays attack on the mar ket Such hesitation and uncertainty as were manifest in the market were traceable to conditions normal to the i closing period of the year and to the i days developments.
 However, there was distinct revival of aggressive bullish spirit in the mar ket and many striking advances were recorded, although the dealings were f highly congested in a few stocks. Union Pacific was the backbone of the speculation and was pushed up by seemingly endless buying to a new rec ord price. The brokers employed in , this buying made an occasion for ru- mors that the principal competitive transcontinental interest was seeking , effective representation in Union Paci- fic. There were sharp advances in the northwestern Pacifics.
 For the most part the days notable movements were elsewhere than in the railroad list. The rather unexpected assumption of control of Tennessee Coal and Iron by the new purchasers seemed to arouse apprehension that the competition in the buying, which has made the high level for the stock, might be considered to be ended. A sharp break resulted The marking up of Amalgamated Copper to par again had a strengthening effect on the gen. eral list.
 Money was quotably easier, both on call and on time, notwithstanding some very large further shipments to Chi cago through private sources. The con- tribution to the money market by the sub-treasury in which the payment of the anticipated January interest fig- ures, helped to the result, and last weeks late heavy dividend disburse- ments were also given credit for part of it. The steamer sailing tomorrow -s-I- reach London in time for the January settlements, and yesterdays demand was so urgent that gold exports were under discussion.
 The sharp break in Peoples Gas was attributed by rumor to a liquidation growing out of the Chicago failures,
