 New York, Dec 29.-(UP)-A late rally on increased turnover brought the stock market up frac- tions to more than two points to- day,
 It was the second advance of the session. The. opening was mixed, followed by an advance which last ed until noon. A reaction turned the market irregular until the last hour when 1t moved up again on short covering.
 All groups participated in the re- covery. Bonds also moved forward after early irregularity. Cotton gained several points, but grains were barely steady. Wheat at Chi cago closed off 1-8 cent to up 1-4 cent, while at Winnipeg the various positions were up 3-4 cent to q cent. Silver metal continued to decline, making record low at 24 IA cents an ounce.
 Selling that took place in stocks from time to time during the day represented transactions to estab- fish tax losses in many instances. Sales made for that purpose tomor- row and Saturday must be for cash as there are no deliveries of stock Saturday.

 Washington, Dec go (UP)-The increasing momentum behind the drive for currency imitation or re- monetization of silver today m vited comparison between the democratic platform plank Tor sound money and the uncom- promising republican pledge to maintain the gold standard.
 Some senators assert the United states will not emerge from de- pression but will sink deeper un- less the gold dollar Is cheapened or unless there Is at least con- troiled increase in circulating cur rency.
 From western silver producing states comes an increasingly fn- sistent demand for remontization of that metal. Senator Wheeler dem., Mont, pleaded in 9 speech last night for immediate Bimetal- lism at the ratio of lS to l 10. William Jennings Bryan stumpeo the country in 1896. The demo- cratic platform offers hope 10 the silver men. It says:
 I've advocate a sound currency tO be preserved at hll AAn1e~AN's ss'-N' an international monetary confer- ence called at the invitation or our goyernmet to consider the rehabili- tation of silver and related ques- tions."
 The republican platform re- pudiated both silver and imitation, as follows:
 "The republican party establish ed and will continue to uphold the gold standard. Relief by currency imitation is unsound in principle and dishonest in results. This IS a time to experiment on the body polite or financial"
 But many controlled imitation advocates are western republicans Senator Borah, repn., Idaho. join ed last session with Senator Glass dem., Va, to push through . meas. ure permitting up to $1,00O.000,O0C general currency to be placed in circulation by extending the groups of government bonds a. gainst which National bank notes could be issued.
 Only $125,000.00O to this new currency had been issued when the latest report was made. It Is al

It held most of the gain. A long list of other leading industrials moved up with it, including Air reduction. General Motors, United Aircraft and corn products. Oils were strong with Socony-vacuum up nearly Q point and substantial gains in Ohio oil and Standard oil of New Jersey.
 Several large blocks turned over in the process of tax selling and the tpe was filtered with odd numbered lots for the same pur- pose. Among the large blocks were 11,0OO shares of Radio corpora tion at 4 3-S; 10000 shares of North American aviation at and 7500 shares of Pennsylvania at 13.

 There was nothing in the news to stimulate buying. Indications were that car loadings would show a small increase for the week end- ed December 24 as compared with 1881 but the comparison with a year ago was contorted in that the comparable week included the Christmas holiday. The same was true of the electric output figures released today.
 Railroad shares made the best showing. Union Pacific ran up more than ? points and gains of a point or more were made by Illin- ois Central, New York Central, Atchison and Lackawanna.
 American Telephone moved up ? points to above 104 and utilities generally were firm. Dome mines made new high for the year in the gold mining group where Homstake lost 2 points and Alaska Juneau gained a small fraction. Gains of 2 points or more were made by Case and Allied Chemical. the latter being aided by a large government tax refund.
 Steel common ranged between 25 and PC 5-8, the latter up 5-S.

 Congress is being bombarded with plants of industry and agri- culture suffering from competition with depreciated currency coun- tries. An instance is cited of can ned pink salmon from Japan sold on the Pacific coast for $3.40 a case, approximately 33 1-3 per cent below the domestic article.
 The fishing, lumber and many other industries far removed from the farm appear to some senators to be becoming undistinguishable parts of what used,to be known as the farm problem.
 In some quarters only one source of relief Is seen-infiation or re- fiation of the currency or remone- tization of silver.
 It is estimated that extension of the Borah-Glass principle could add $3,O00,0OO,O00 to $4,000,OOO : 900 to the currency. It also suggested that more direct method would be to reduce tho value of the dollar by decreasing its gold content. The issue will await the new congress.

 In only one round, the second, did Townsend threaten to slow up Steeles winning streak which is now q victories in the Northwest. In that round Townsend laid a right swing back of Steele's ear that spun him around and onto the floor Steele went off his balance ir trying to duck the punch and failed to get away from it but he bounced back from the floor more surprised than hurt.
 Steele Like Master
 Steele boyed like master for five rounds, jabbing his left with clocklike precision before he open ed up in the sixth and final round.
 With victory in sight, Steele opened up with a barrage of pun ches to tir, head and body that gave him a clear verdict.
 Townsend, a stiff puncher, was dangerous at all times and un- corked few punches which stung Steele but cid not slow him up.
 Tn close fighting, Steele tied Townsend up in knots, although Townsend was usually the most dangerous at that game.
