DaiIy Stock Letter,

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
Instead of turning weak in the
face of hardening money rates, rs
it might well have done, today's
stock market was so thin that it
merely turned dull to the point Of al
:.lost ceasing to function at all.
Prices were higher in the first hour
or so, or until the money market
opened, because there were very light
offerings of stock.
News DEVELOPMENTS Of the day
comprised several items OF interest,
but very few of influence market
wise. Trading was to some extent
enlivened in the last hour and the
list showed a disposition to advance.
