New York, Jan. s.--The significant fea-
ture Of todays stock market was the re-
action which set in ~ the publication of
the address OF Governor Harding OF the
federal reserve board at Washington to
leading bankers of the country, advising
reduction of "unessential loans"
Liquidation was not disorderly in any
instance, but the rapidity with which lead
ing shares fell TO points and the spe-
cialties 5 to nearly 10, indicates that the
market remains extremely sensitive to
monetary conditions.
II is yet too early to forecast the effect
of the reserve boards recommendations.
but conservative financial interests are
known to be In accord with the attitude
of the central bank, especially where
stocks of speculative character are con-
cerned.
There was again a dearth of time
money, but call money or demand loans
which opened In free supply at s per cent,
the lowest initial quotation since the No
rember setback, fell to per cent later
despite the warnings conveyed In the news
from Washington.
Rails were the only important shares to
hold their ground while liquidation was
under way but shippings steels, oils
motors, and their subsidiaries and high
priced specialties, notably American Wool
en-, yielded easily.
Some of these same issues were among
the first to rally on the lower call rate of
the last hour, American Wooden being used
in another drive against the shorts with
several OF the oils, sugars and miscelane-
Gus issues. including Endicott-J ohnson.
Sales amounted TO 1.250,000 shares
Bonds were heavy IN the main, although
several investment rails and high grade
ndustrials made material advances. Lib
Arty and internat ional issues were irreg
ular within contracted limits. Total sales
(par value) were s17,75O.000. Old United
States bonds were unchanged on call.
