STOCK MARKET IN
HOLIDAY MOOD

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-It was a holiday
stock market today in the seasonable dull
ness which restricted the activities almost
wholly to the closing up of contracts. Bor-
rowing on call today carried over until
Monday and the evidence of oversupply of
funds as the day progressed helped to allay
apprehension and conduced to the stiffening
of prices Of stocks.
Discounts eased in foreign markets, indi-
eating the prosject of money relaxation
after the turn of the year. Another sharp
relapse in foreign exchange rates pointed
to the speculative nature of some of the
recent strength in that market and the
OversuppIy of exchange bills left on hand
SIS consequence.
Reading second preferred collapsed vio-
lently. running off Ia points from the
price touched in the volatile rise of yes
terday.
The most conspicuous movement was In
the Rock Island group, both in the stocks
and in the collateral bonds secured By the
old Rock Island stock. Belief in identical
control of this company. Lehigh Valley
and Wabash still figured the chief inhu-
ence in the movement.
An advance in the price of copper metal
in london gave upward impetus to
stocks Of the copper industrials.
The large shifting of loans that has been
going on during the week was indicated by
the actual decrease of Sl1, so2. 500 in that
item of the clearing house banks as against
an increase in the average nonclearing
house institutions of SIC, ,oS4,loo. The
actual statement failed TO show the ex-
pected gain in cash and reported a small
decrease.
The bank statement did not appear until
after the stock market closed and was not
appraised in the dealings there. unless the
resctionary movement late in the day was
due to some advance knowledge that the
showing would be rather less favorable
than was expected. The stock market
closed irregular in consequence of this
reaction.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, Sc. .444 900.
United States IS have advenced Is and
the 2s 4 per cent in the bid price on call
loans since last week.
