MARKET REPORTS
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings In All
Tho Leading Stocks. :.

New York. Dec. 17.-Tkere was the
sharpest break in the prices of stocks to-
day that has occurred since the so-called
fion in September. Speculative holdings
were thrown CT the market at concessions
that gave an appearance of Semi -demoral-
ization. The most significant feature was
not the volume of the liquidation, which
was not unusually heavy. as is witnessed
nv the moderate total of the days sales,
but the total abandonment of the recent
support of the market. That policy was
thrown aside today either because Of the
diminishing supply of banking credits
with whch, to 9 maintain Unfair 1t It OF because of
ed it with some of the features in the
outlook for affairs. That the burden of
sustaining prices at the extremely adj

tant bond sales and with today's sub
treasury absorption of $i.929O00 bringing
the total for the banking week up to
Sl7G0l. 600, this could not well he other
wise in view OF the relation of these
forces to the surplus banking reserve as
shown by the Saturdays bank statement.
Foreign money markets showed the ef-
fects of the coming strain of the yearly
settlements. The acute weakness of

sneciai explanation ir the critical attitude
displayed by members of the ways and

the duty on lead ore. Re ports Of unsta-
bic conditions in copper markets and of
a rate OF production far outrunning the
amounts going into consumption pulled
down Arraleanlated Copper along with
the Smelling stocks. The weakness

feet. Decline in itself had the effet of
uncovering stop loss orders and of bring
ing out calls for additional margin. The
remarks of the President-eIect at the dim
ner of the Ohio Society seemed TO be re-
garded as bringing disillusionment to
sor,n of the speculative element, which
enjoyed by corporations as a motive for
advancing prices. The cheapening of
prices as 4 result of the days sales
amounted to from to 3 points for prac-
tically all stocks dealt in.

that this contract will not hold. That
