NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-There was no question but that the stock market had a real reaction today, except for a short period at the opening and for few moments after the announcement of un- filled tonnage by the steel corporation. This news was bullish, showing an in- crease of 5O6,695 tons. A severe brak followed and only a few stocks of the entire list were spared. drive was made against the smaller rails, but some industrials also suffered. General Elec- tric, which has been strong for some days, broke about 8 points, later rally ing and closing at 273%. Steel, after high of 118&, closed off 9 points. The last hour of the market showed that as the news of break was broadcast many buyers came back into the mar ket, probably for the purpose of buying for a profit on a run-up. While there is uncertainty as whether there would be a reaction Thursday, the close proved the "come back" ability of the present market The transactions of the last two hours, which hours composed the "break" and the "come back" about equalled the first three hours of trad ing.-Steiner.
