FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
DECLINE CHECKED.
Stock Market Makes Effective RecoV-
 cry from Downward Movement.

New York, Dec 10.-After another severe break which forced quotations to a new low level for the protected downward movement, the stock market rallied effectively today. The opening was weak, and through the morning there was a steady stream of selling orders which at times almost demoral- ized the, market. No effective resist ance was offered and stocks were un- loaded in increasing volume. Steel sold down to GA Is, Union Pacific to 161, Reading to 165 If and Amalga mated Copper to 75 IS. Among the less active issues declines were more severe. extending to 15 points in Lack awanna and II in National Biscuit.
 The turn in the market came with the noon hour and prices mounted steadily until Steel, Reading and number of other important issues showed net gains Of a point or more Just before the close the market be- came heavy, though prices did not re- lapse to the low point of the day.
 The recovery in prices was not re- garded as indicative of a marked change in sentiment. The downward movement which began on the rendi- ton of the Hartman decision has ex- tended beyond "a point to which the
 
 to have made itself directly felt, and there has been no specific development since that time to account for the con- tinued pressure. In general terms the decline has been ascribed to a feeling of uneasiness on the part of security holders induced by various causes, such as the Hartman decision, the prospect of a money stringency at the end of the year and the coming re- vision of the tariff. This view was strengthened by the heavy liquidation by out of town stock owners as distinct from the Wall street speculative ele- ment, There was no apparent reason for change in sentiment today and it was the opinion of many market ob- servers that the rally was due in large part to ever extension of short sell ing. A~
 The increase of 25s,000 tons in the United States Steel corporations un- filled tonnage was regarded as a satis- factory showing, but was without in- f1uence on the market in its present unsettled state.
 The bond market moved in close sympathy with stocks, but some of the active issues showed less recuperative powers Total sales. par value, s. S35,000
 United States bonds unchanged on call.

RIDERS ON EVEN TERMS.
Many Spurts Mark Evenings Perform. ance-Nineteen Miles Ahead of tho Record.

New York, Dec. 10.-With all fifteen teams still intact and going strong: the six day bicycle riders at Madison Square Garden were o neven terms at Il o'clock tonight after 47 hours grind. The evening had seen number of re- markable spurts. At 10 o'clock the riders had pedaIled 1S miles and 2 laps ahead of the record, the best showing thus far, but a slow-up left them Is miles and laps aehad of the record at Il o'clock
 In the mid-evening sprints the Pye- Granda, Rutt-FOgler and Kramer Mo ran teams all figured. A later one started just before 10 o'clock by the Suter brothers of the Swiss team was exceptional. It was kept up for ten minutes, with practically every rider gaining the lead and losing it to an- other.
 It looked as though the bunch would be broken up. but the puncture of a tire on Moran's wheel forced an end to the fight. For the next hour the pace was a steady one, with the riders still punched.
 The score at Il o'clock was BIT miles and laps. as compared with the best previous record of 961 miles fiat, made by Brocco and Georget in 1911.
 The 12 o'clock midnight score was 9SS miles g laps. The teams were still punched. with the Suter brothers lead ing. The best previous record for this time, the 18th hour, was 979 miles g laps, made by Van Houewert and Lapize last year.
