MARKET FEELS
THE HOLIDAYS

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Opera-
tions in the stock market today
bore the familiar holiday aspect.
Business was restricted even more
than usual to the better known
issues, and in these fluctuations
generally were so narrow as to
rob them of any significance. The
room traders were bearishly IN
clined.
Several efforts were made to de-
press United States steel, but it
held firm above ~. Lehigh Val
ley held barely steady and the
theory was advanced in some
quarters that yesterdays increase
in the dividend from 6 TO 10 per
cent yearly not only showed
lack of conservatism on the part
Of the new interests in control OF
that property, but might prove
harmful to the cause OF the rail
roads generally in their demands
for increased freight rates.
Reading was under pressure the
greater part Of the day, falling
over two points from the previous
days high level.
American stocks were heavy in
London, and trading for that ac-
count in this market was less than
nominal.
The weekly statement of the
Bank of England was interesting
chiefly in that il reported a loss
of over 8 y per cent IN the proper
tion of its reserve to liabilities.
The total reserve increased over
S14.000.00O. with a decrease of ap-
proXimately $4,000, 600 in deposits
and S11 100000 in gold.
Further gains in cash were made
byl local financial institutions and
the easier money conditions were
attested in both call and time ac-
cOmmOda tiOnS. Foreign exchange
was a shade firmer and most re-
mittances incidental to year end
payments have now been made.
The bond market was barely
steady and less active. rejecting
the market for stock Total sales
1par value). S2,234.000
United States bonds were un-
changed.
NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-E. F.
Hutton & Co.'S wire says:
A moderate reaction occurred
in stocks today as a result of an
attempt TO take profits by small
speculative contingent before the
holidays. Banking interests al
lowed the recession to run its
course and We're buyers of some
of the leading issues on the de-
cline. The only item OF news
which affected sentiment was the
continued strike situation of the
western locomotive engineers,
though in the late session it
seemed as if this difficulty would
be settled amicably. Depressing
talk on the steel outlook caused
considerable short selling in this
