(By Associated Press J

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-The stock
market was free from disturbances
caused by any heavy withdrawal OF
credits in call loans today There was
no pressure of forced liquidation in
stocks. Uncovered bear traders with
no prospect OF immediate urgent sell
ing to enable them to take additional
profits bought on moderate scale
to cover their short contracts. There
was no evidence Of large demand
from other sources. The ,essened
stringency in the money market vas
regarded with some doubts of it's per-
manency.
The part played in stock market
liquidation In bringing 1t about was
also held in mind. There was lack
ing confidence that a renewal of spec
ulative commitments in stocks would
leave the money market exempt from
renewal of stringency. Indications
pointed to decided Improvement in
the showing of the banks In tomor-
rows statement. Most of the casl,
gain is due TO the sub-treasury opera
tions which had been in favor of the
banks up to Thursday night to the en-
tent of s5,436,000.
The action OF the stock market
cradle loan construction being effect
ed. In view of the heavy require
ments confronting the market it is
not believed that the resources in
hand by the banks will be more than
sufficient to meet demands without
any complicating factors such re-
newed speculation. The days market
offered few features. The prominent
place held by st. Paul in the recovery
was not strange in view of the vic
lence of its fall.
The Hill stocks continued unsettled
to some extent and were slow to re-
spond to the general upward move
ment. There was further weakness
also in Reading. The speculation was
on the whole restrained and the vol
nme of dealings small. Minor Incl
dents of the day were the rumors of
threatened strike Of railway yard
men i'll the neighborhood Of New York
and reports of damage suits against
railroads in Texas for delayed traffic.
There was some concession from the
best prices of the day before the
