New York, Dee. 12.-The stock mar

more prominent specialties. Southern
Paclfic was again conspicuous for IT'S
strength, as was also United States
Steel, which yielded less than a point

Evidence of the strength of the general

quieter at the high level and although
prices eased off toward the end of the
day there was no further unsettlement.
There was some further calling OF loans
by banking institutions on account OF the
sbrinkage in value of collateral. and the
closing out of weekly margined accounts
was another unsettled factor. Bonds
