VIGOROUS RALLY IN THE STOCK MARKET

New York, Nov. l3-Indications that stable conditions in the money market may soon be restored and concurret sfgns that the ''beaxs" or short inte- rests had over -ex tc.lded their position, caused a v.&orous rally in the stock market today.
 In several noteworthy instances from ne-third to one=Ealf of the recent severe price depreciation was recovered. while iA q few isolated cases the rebound was carried to greater lengths.
 This improvement was not effected, however, until Of the better known speculative shares were depressed to lower levels than those reached in the denoralized markets of the two preceding sessions.
 The unsettlement which succeeded the early rally was mainly due to the first quotations for call money, these being fixed at the new maxi nuns of Is to IS per cent.
 The IS per cent. rate prevailed until the last hour when offArrgs of sur plus supplies by iSokers, whose money holdings exceeded their re- quirements, forced the rate down to 12 per cent with per cent. the normal rate ruling at the close.
 Another encouraging 1actor was the news from Washington that the Federal Reserve Board, utter g con Serence with representatives of the
