BY MONITOR.
NEW YORK. Dec. 17.-There was au
appreciable lessening of activity in the
volume of stock exchange transactions,
with an increase in the number OF re-
cessiOns, due, however, in most cases,
to profit taking by recent buyers. The
undertone was slightly unsettled, thus
creating an impression of irregularity.
The market was given its dominating
color, however, by advances that estab-
Iished new high levels in Pacific Oil,
Lima Locomotive and General Asphalt,
as well as the strength displayed by
American Locomotive, Corn Products and
Studebaker. There was nothing of spe-
cial moment in the days news to ac-
count for the strength in the stocks, but
traders are beginning to take note OF the
fact that while the market has been go
ing gradually upward Tor the last three
months, the advance has been accom-
plished in the face Of almost daily pre-
dictions of a reaction that has not taken
place.
About the only heary feature of the
market so far as group action was con-
cerned, was furnished ly the rails which
generally were sluggish. The notable ex-
ceptions were Atchison and Louisville *
Nashville
For the first time in several weeks the
statement of the Federal Reserve Bank
showed a decline in ratio, the figures
being 72.6 compared with 73.1 last week.
This resulted chiefly from an increase Of
$50. 300. 600 in note circulation. Still fur
Their improvement is shown in the posi-
ton Of the Southern and Western reserve
banks. The indebtedness Of the Dallas
bank now stands at only 81 ,000 900 COM

Review

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-With the fur
Their advance in the cotton market today,
we have recovered all of the loss sus-
tanned on the publication of the Gov
ernments crop estimate.
The short interest in the market has
been compelled to cover, because of an
improved demand for spot cotton, and
now that we are above the 18-cent level
for January contracts, the same question
will arise IS to whether or not new
speculation can be attracted to the mar
ket to help carry the visible supply.
so far as the spinners are concerned, we
doubt very much their following the mar
ket on bulges Our previous experience
has been that after every advance South
ern offerings increased, and it is more
than likely that we shall have this same
experience again.
We can find nothing in the cotton sit
uation at this time to warrant any fur
Their advances, unless perchance there is
present an unusually large short interest,
and as to this, Of course there is no def
mite information available. We do not
regard purchases at this level with
favor.
