LARGE AMOUNT 0F PROFIT TAKING
A Stubborn Resistance Was Offered to Renewal
 of Attack

New York, December 19.-Stubborn re- sistance was offered in the stock market
 today to a renewal of the attack whicf
 depressed prices yesterday. The bears hae the Wabash receivership to help them They were influenced as well by the large amount of profit taking yesterday, whicf to one way of thinking indicated that the effect of last weeks especially favorable development had worn off
 But the market possessed a degree oi underlying strength which put to naughi the efforts of the bears, the chief result ! of whose activities was to increase the
 size of the short interest. Prices fell of
 after the opening. but declines among the
 standard issues were small. In the last half of the day there was creeping re- covery and toward the close a spirited buying movement elevated some of the speculative favorites point or more above the previous days final prices.
 Interest centered in the receivership of Wabash at the opening, although no vio- lent declines were expected, since Wall street was too well acquainted with the roads financial condition to be taken off No Sudiu by lho Ol c iC- eivership. There was no excited trad ng in these issues. The declines of the common and preferred stocks and the per cent bonds ranged between 1 and ? points. The common stock touched 53si, the lowest price since 1907, and the pre- l ferred 141s, the lowest in three years The { bonds fell to 50. The statement that ar Engagements had been made for payment '4of the interest on the bonds on January n led to heavy buying of these securities, (which rose to 531sc, gain of 2ia on the |.day.
 5 Both classes of the stock made partial Recovery. It was believed that the ulti- snate effect of the Wabash receivership Ion the general market would be good, as I it would remove one element of doubt and furnish the best medium for the solution of the company's long standing difficult ties
 United States Steel, after remaining quiet yesterday, resumed it's advance to- day and touched 69A, an overnight gain of 1is cents and the highest price since September. Lehigh Valleys recent ad- vance to the accompaniment of reports of
 possible extra distribution to stockholders
 was halted. The stock was sold heavily
 and lost nearly a point. A number of specialties, including the fertilizer shares, International Harvester, National Bis
 cult, American Beet Sugar and some of
 the independent steel companies, made
 good gains. After an interruption of sew
 eral days, the exportatlon of gold to South
 America was resumed, s100,OOO being with
 drawn from the sub-treasury for shipment.
 Funds continued to flow into New York
 from the interior. More money was
 loaned to Germany for year end needs.
 The Berlin banks offered as high as 634
 per cent and some large sums were
 placed.
 Business was active and broad in the
 bond market. Price movements were
 mixed. Total sales, par value, $4525,000
