STOCK MARKET FREE
FROM DISTURBANCE
No Withdrawal of Loans TO
Cause Liquidation
BEARS BUY MODERATELY
Lessened strinsercy of Money Is Re-
qarded With Doubts OF Pcrmanency. j.,
Cash Gain of $5,436, ooo Due to
Suh-Treasury Operation.

New York, December 91.-The stock
market was free from disturbance caused
by any heavy withdrawal of credits in
cali loans today. There was no pressure
of forced liquidation in stocks. Uncov-
cred bear traders with no prospect of I'M
mediate urgent selling to enable them
to take additional profits bought on
moderate scale to cover their short con-
tracts. There was no evidence of a large
demand from other sources. The lessened
stIingency in the money market was re-
garded with some doubts of its perman-
ency.
The part played in stock market liqui-
dation in bringing it about was also held
in mind. There was lacking confidence
that renewal of speculative commit
ments in stocks would leave the money
market exempt from a renewal of strin-
gency. Indications pointed to a decided
improvement in the showing of the banks
in tomorrow's bank statement Most of
the cash gain is due to the sub-treasury
operations which had been in favor of
the banks up to Thursday night to the
extent of s5,496O0O.
In addition to this the interior move
ment has been in favor of this center, but
the balanca of the movement has been
small one. A gain in cash is thus indi-
Gated in itself sufficient to restore a con-
siderable margin of surplus IN the re-
serve of the banks.
The actions of the stock market during
the week points to considerable long
contract having been affected. Adyices
from London pointed to notable recu-
peration OF reserve also by the Bank of
- ngD
Paris and ovet $4,000 secured in the
open market in London. London credits
it's exemption from demand for gold
from New York to the compliance OF
New York bankers with the needs of the
London market. 1t is to be remembered
that the railroad companies which are
making large new stock issues are among
those having the largest number of for
eign stockholders. Subscription to new
stock by these foreign stockholders will
establish credits for this market abroad
which will increase the supply of eX
change.
The days market offered few features.
The prominent place held by St Paul in
the recovery was not strange, in view of
the violence of it's fall preceding. The
Hill stocks continued unsettled to some
extent. and We're slow to respond to the
general upward movement. There was
further weakness also in Reading The
speculation was on the whole restrained.
and the volume of dealings small. The
strong showing of the Southern Pacific
annual report seemed to have more effect
on Union Pacific than ON the stock of the
subsidiary company, Minor incidents of
the day were the threatened strike of
railroad men in the neiehborhod 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 market
closed.
