Stock Market Sinks Slowly Down
 To Lower Level as Short Covering
 Appears Ended After Weeks Fling
Reaction Clear ly in Making - Coppers Firm at First, But Later Lose Ground Gained Encouraging Develop ments Seen.

New ork, Dec. - (I--The stock market floated quietly downward today, as the fuel of short covering, which provided the momentum in last weeks advance. appeared to have run dry.
 A secondary reaction, after the violent rebound from last Tuesday's lows, was clerly in the making to- ward the end of last week. With the Christmas holiday breaking into this week, furthermore, traders found little incentive for endeavor- ing to press the recovery further. Selling presumably included profit taking on stock bought carly last week, and the belated liquidation to establish losses for income tax pur- poses.
 Copper Gains Lost
 Coppers were firm for d time in the morning, refleCting a better tone in the red metal market, but gains Of point in Anaconda and Ken necott were short-lived Stocks los ing points or more included such issues as [. s. Steel, American Telephone, Standard of N. J., North American, Consolidated Gas, West tnghouse. Air Reduction, Dupont, New York Central, Baltimore and Ohio, and Norfolk and Western. A few shares lost f to 6, including Union Pacific, Eastman, Worthing- ton, Auburn, Coca Cola, and Allied Chemical.
 Encouraging developments were improvement in both copper and silver metal. The supply of domestic copper available at 1p cents a pound ran out, and consumers were bid ding 10 IA cents by early after noon, with none available at that level.
 The seeming confidence with which large producers withdrew from the market when the metal recently fail ed to hold at 12 cents had indicated that metal would not long De avail able at 10 cents if they could help it.
 Bar Silver Higher
 Bar silver at New York was quot cd ai or one cent higher at 32 3-S cents an ounce, after sagging fur ther into new low ground last week. A sustained firmness in this metal would improve confidence in quar- ters where its low price IS regarded as one of the very sore spots in the economic situation, with it's severe impairm ent Of far eastern purchas- ing power.
 Sentiment in the oil industry, also suffering from acute price defation seems to be improving. W. s. Fa- rish, president Of Humble Oil and Refining Co, an important subsidi- ary of Standard of New Jersey, ad- dressing meeting Of employes. said, "The present business depres- sion will, in my belief, end within six months, l believe history will bear me out that at no time has a business depression lasted for two years" He added that no man would be put out of work whom sincere efforts on our part can keep busy"
 Credit rates were virtually sta tionary, with call loans renewing at per cent.

CHAMBER SEEKS
EXTENSION OF
STATE STREET

Robert Hays, secretary-manager
of the Ell Centre Chamber of Com
mercc and Leo Hetzel, ex-president
of that body, left yesterday for
San Francisco where they VIII
spend the rest of the week con
ferring with officials of the South
ern Pacific Company on the matter
of opening State street across the
tracks. Extending this street IS
becoming more and more import
ant to FL Centre as the building on
State increases and if this street
were opened it would be question
of but a short time until the city
has two recognized business streets,
built solidly for matter of four
blocks, rather than one long Main
street, and business constantly NOV
ing farther out of the center of the
city.
Property owners on State street
have expressed themselves as will
ing to pay for street lighting and
other improvements which would
add much to the attractiveness of
the city if only the street might be
extended east across the tracks and
with the high type of construction
which is appearing on this street it
seems only right that the street
should extend across the tracks and
not end blindly as it does at the
present time.
Many of the lettuce and eanta-
loupe shippers have expressed them
selves as anxious to have State
street opened because of the fact
that most of their business is on
the east side of the tracks and they
find that with traffic limited as it
is with so few railway crossings
much Inconvenience is experienced
/ Hays and Hetzel have letters from
a great number of the larger ship
pers of Ell Centre and from many
of the important firms and business
men of this city which they vii
present to the Southern Pacific off
cials in putting forth the plea oil
FL Centre for reconsideration OF
their opposition to the opening ol
State street.
