NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK Dec. 1.-THE market showed
spots Of positive strength today, but were not
sufficient TO offset the effect Of the general dis-
position to reduce commitments. There was
discussion of the beneficial leffect on railroad
! earnings to follow proposed advances in freight
rates, but prices did not respond except in the
case of New York Central. which rose vigor-
ously in face Of the previous DOWNWARD ten
dency. The advance in Pressed Steel Car re-
called a rumor, circulated early in the week,
and officially denied, Of an intended absorption
by the Steel corporation
Other railroad equipment stocks moYed in
sympathy. The greatest selling pressure CEN
tered on the metal group especially Smelling.
Rumors Of unsatisfactory earnings by that
company were coupled with reports of a waning
demand for copper and expectation Of a re-
newed decline in the price or silver with the
lowest price ON record Expectation Of a weak
bank return general. although it was
known the weekly statement would not appear
until after the market closed.
The operation of forces in the depletion Of

indicating a continuance Of the decrease in
banking reserves.
