Editor.

NAV YORK, Dec. 1.-THE violent
break in the stock market yesterday
was followed by a show OF strength
in today's session, on which some Is
sues made rather smart upturns. The
precipitate decline yesterday gave
the market the appearance OF being
oyersold. Stocks yesterday were
thrown over regardless of value In
the mad haste OF many TO liquidate
their holdings TO secure sufncient
cash TO meet the final installment OF
the 1918 income taxes which are due
tomorrow.
Short covering furnished the prin-
cipal reason for the advance, but
many traders were OF the opinion
that the worst in the way of forced
liquidation has been seen and that
stocks are now due for rise. There
was some buying on this assumption.
The railroad stocks. which for the
past few days have been under severe
pressure, made good recoveries. The
steel shares and oil issues also ad-
vanced vigorously. Steel common
rose over 1 point. to 1884, and Bald
win Locomotive rose nearly points,
to ssh. Replogle Steel advanced "a
points, to GIN.
