In the Stock Market
(By Thomson & McKinnon)

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The further
recovery in the market yesterday, al
though confined to limited part of
the list, was nevertheless very well
come and will contribute much cheer
If the rally holds. But looking ahead
we can't see much fundamental
change as to provide a basis for a
resumption of that buying move
ment that came to an end a few
weeks ago. 1t is not the rate pre-
vailing in the call money market
during a few days or a few weeks
but what will be the trend during
the months to come. Naturally. that
is supply and demand proposition
and so long as the public commit
ments remain as big as they are, the
demand, of course. will be con-
slant and the supply will depend
largely on the higher banking policy
To us 1t still looks like case of
where conservatism will ultimately
be rewarded, and we would rather
take advantage of these bulges to re-
duce commitments.
