Financial Markets Draw Toward Close of Trying Year Without
 Great Enthusiasm Over Future
Stocks Appear to Have Been Temporarily Over- sold But Recover During Morning.

New York, Dec. 29 (P}-The finan- cial markets drew toward the close of a trying year today without much much enthusiasm over wiping the slate for fresh start.
 Stocks appeared to have been tenn porarily oversold, and recovered little, for time during the morn ing but by early afternoon the list was again dragging close to the years lowest levels. Predictions that business recovery in 1881 will be slow. if sure, are now commonly heard in Wall street, and economic advisory services. while indicating investment bargains, say there need be no hurry about making purchases all of which tended to keep markets depressed.
 Tax selling continued to trickle into the stock market, and rails were again conspicuously heavy. Losses in the main were moderate, however, and most of the pivotal in- dustrials maintained good under tone. |. s. Steel, American Can, and Case were among issues selling up a point or two. then losing their gains. Radio common and pre- ferred B shares dropped to new low levels, and in the rails, New York Central, Baltimore and Ohio, Atchi- son, and Chicago and Northwestern lost about points. the last named recording a new minimum. Union Pacific lost 4.
 News Plentiful
 Important corporate news includ- cd the granting of an injunction to Cyrus Eaton and his associates halt ing the merger of Youngstown Sheet and Tube with Bethlehem Steel. and the final drafting of a proposal to unifv the New York Traction com- panies.
 Both developments appeared to have been largely discounted by the stock market. Republic and Inland steels, which are regarded as Eaton companies, were firm for time. but Bethlehem and Youngstown were little changed.
 In the transactions, the Brooklyn Manhattan issues showed strength for a time. In the steel situation, Wall street is primarily interested in whether the pro-merger interests will appeal.
 Call Money Firm
 Call money showed the customary yCGr-end tirmness. renewing at 21a per cent. and moving up to F. the highest since May. as loans were called rather heavily. Last year at this time, however, the rate was S per cent, and two years ago. 1t touched 12 per cent. Other monetary accommodations were virtually sta- tionary, loan calling was to meet year-end interest and dividend pay nlents, and in part probably repre- sented the window dressing" by wfich cash balances are augmented in year-end statements.
 Tn the commodity markets. cop- per was quoted at 10 1-2 cents a pound, up I-4, for domestic ship ment. Bar silver, however, eased close to it's recently recorded low for all time.
 The Guaranty Trust Co.,, in it's monthly survey, said that the re- duction in the federal reserve re- discount rate will probably have favorable effect on business senti- ment." It stated that "the general banking situation is not only strong from the standpoint of safety, but will be found favorable to business expansion as soon as conditions in other lines are such as to permit that development"
