MARKET RECLAIMED
ITS EQUILIBRIUM
Prices Were Irregular, but
Urgent Selling Pressure
Was Notably Absent

New York. Dec. 23.-There was lit
tie trace of the scmihysteria which pre-
vailed yesterday when the stock mar
ket opened this morning. There was
naturally more or less feverishness and
irrcgularity which generally follows al
periods of violent movements. There
was notable absence of the urgent
liquidation and spectacular selling. On
the contrary, the market, as whole
gave every indication of organized
strong support This not only had O
stablizing effect upon the better known
issue, but also discouraged renewed
aggressions on the part of the bear
party against some of the more v,ll.
nerable issues.
Overnight Developments failed to shed
much light upon the causes and in
fuenccs behind yesterdays violent
shakedown. Neither was there any
thing disconCCrting in the morning
news. There was. however, n genera
wide belief based upon established pre-
ccdcnts that the market was in posi-
ton for at least a technical rally, in
asmuch as such an outpouring of stock:
as witnessed yesterday generally
marked the turning point of big sell
ing movement.
More or less confusion hLtenueu Nn'
early movements, but before the end OF
the first hour the general list hat
established a fairly good equilibrium
This was accomplished in face of the
suspension OF another stock cxchang,
house, and without any particular
stimulating news. 1t was evident
however, as the morning progressed
that while there was still further
| liquidation, stocks were not bcinl
pressed for sale on the same wholesale
order as noted yesterday.
Indifferent rcponseS 10 the margina
calls sent out last night brought somt
selling orders at the opening, but eX'

show material losses. There was thu

Commodity Markets
GRAM MARkET

Chicago, Dec. 22--Sclling Of wheat
was resumed this morning, and the
market declined sharply. Nervousness
over financial conditions. including the
suspension Of the New York Stock Ex-
change firm OF Foster Il Lounsbery,
was the factor, and it was thought that
farmers would be- compelled to sell their
wheat. The closing of another bank in
North Dakota also aided the bears.
Pressure came from commission houses
and local professional. Some resting
orders to buy were executed on toe
drop.
December opened 2Iac lower. at
