Market Stronger
Closing Week Year

New York, Dec. 31.-The closing
week of a remarkable year in the Sc
curities market was enlivened by
brisk demand and consequent partial
recovery of many representative
shares, especially rails, together with
signs of a relaxation of the protracted
credit strain.
Liquidation and short selling of
speculative stocks continued how
ever, the further reaction being trace
able to the weakened technical posi-
ton of certain issues and the obvious
purpose of corporate interests and in
dlvldualS 10 adjust losses against in
come tax payment.
disappointment was expressed at
the absence of more than a tenta-
tive January REIMBURSEMENT demand,
but this was lartly attributed to the
belief that investors as class are
holdlngg alaot in expectation of q
clearing of the financial atmosphere.
1ear-end settlements We're accom-
plished without the slightest distur-
bance to money rates. Few if any
new loans for more than moderate
all accommodations being restricted
to renawels, including a goodly per-
centage of commercial paper.
There was considerable divergence
of opinion among bankers respecting
the immediate future of the money
market. Conditions in that quarter,
it is generally believed. must of
necessity De governed by develop
ments in general business and indus
try during the first few months of the
new year.
Another Potent factor in the money
situation will be the attitude of mer-
camille interests towards price read
justments. Further and more drastic
reductions by jobbers middlemen And
retailers are expected as a natural
concomitant of inventories now in
progress.
In-the foreign exchange market lit
tie relief is looked for until the mat
ter of German PREPARATIONS assumes
definite form. Pending settlement of
that question, American bankers, it is
understood. are unlikely to engage in
new international undertakings.
