NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Tradine on
all the great markets was generally
quiet today, with a fairly firm tone to
prices and some show OF what is ia
military known as January buying"
The price movement here was trifle
heavy just after the opening, then the
market improved, and from the second
hour, the recovery was fairly well sus-
tanned. The best prices were made
in the afternoon, when it was known
that the arrangements for the year
end payments had been concluded
without difficulty, and that call loans
were easily obtainable at four per-
cent On the late advance the market
here became somewhat quiet but the
tone was undoubtedly firm, and there
appeared to be fairly broad demand
for the really high grade shares. Ger
many was the storm center in today's
year-end money market, and as high
as 20 percent was paid at Berlin for
loans carrying the borrower over the
Dec. 81 settlement.
