SOME EARLY GAINS ARE

Closing Is Irregular, With the Over
turn Smallest of Any Day

NEW YORK. December 1s.-The
only notable feature of today's two
hour market was its extreme narrow
ness and dullness. Interest again con-
verged about the interstate commerce
commissions decision, but that event
had only a passing influence upon the
stocks of railroads directly affected.
Some early gains were lost in the final
dealings.
Bonds were steady.
Price changes in today's early deal
ings suggested that yesterdays inter-
state commerce commission decision
had spent its force. for a time. at least.
The opening was exceedingly narrow.

in 100-share lots.

Canadian Pacific and It's subsidiary,

SHORT SELLING OFFSETS
SOME DEMAND FOR STOCKS
Foreign Situation Serves to Dampen
Ardor of Bull Side Of the
Stock Market.

NEW YORK. December 19.-The most
important event of week replete
with interesting developments was the
decision Of the interstate commerce
commission to grant a S per cent rate
increase to the eastern railroads. An
nouncement of the commissions ac-
ton was made early yesterday at a
time when stocks were manifesting
their greatest weakness. It was eff
fective in arresting the decline and
bringing about some material recov-
cries.
Trading In the full list of stocks ap-
proved by the exchange began Tues
day, and was accompanied by more
or less irregular movement. Prices
moved upward smartly at the outset
but soon receded on moderate OFFER
ings.
There appeared to be small invest
ment demand. but this was Offset by
persistent short selling. Sentiment was
rather more cheerful until the latter
part of the week, when reduced divi-
dends by such important railroads as

steel Conditions Unchanged.

The foreign situation also served to
dampen the ardor Of the bull side.
Conditions in the steel trade are un-
changed, except that some increase of
foreign business is expected early lin
the coming year. The larger manufac-
turers are considering their wage
schedules for that period, with indica-
tions of a reduction.
The foreign trade situation continues
to favor this country, largely as re-
suit of Increased cotton exports.
