STOCK MARKET COMES BACK
Buoyancy Marks Exchange After Re-
coycry From Thursday Fall.

NEW YORK. Dec 22.-Buoyancy
marked the stock market today. The
slump of the last fortnight which Cul-
minated in yesterdays decentralization
gave way to rccoVcries of 3 To 10
points In the better known stocks and
considerably more In issues of an ultra
speculative class
on today's extreme recoveries nu-
days losses, while few were at or
above final quotations of Wednesday,
The rebound was effected on much
smaller volume OF operations-about
1850, 900 sharcs-against the Outpour-
ing OF more than three million shares
the day before.
The outstanding factor Of today
market was the better understanding
of the international situation based
upon reports received from Washing
ton and other news centcrs of impor-
tance, which helped In great measure
TO clear the financial atmosphere.
Another important feature was the
support given by investors who quick
ly availcd themselves of the bar
gains" offered at yesterdays decline.
United States steel gained more
than points on its final price of
l07 - and contributed almost 20 per
cent to the total turnover.
Rails made more moderate head
