 Pressure lifted in the market at the first session when the house of representatives failed by 6 votes to pass repeal measure. Then when the war debt situation cleared up and 1t was considered certain the principal debtors-England and France--would make their pay ments, further gains were recorded in all divisions.
 While the rise was considered mostly due to technical causes, there were many favorable factors in addition to those mentioned. The president indicated that every ef- fort would be made to balance the budget. Fears of inflationary measures In this congress were al- layed and the street took 0 more constructive attitude on the session.
 News from the business world had its bright spots. Christmas trade was reported as good in many
 
 bile production was up and build ing showed gains. Seasonal de- clines were noted in car ioadings. electricity output, and several other lines. Steel operations were slip- ping off although the Youngstown district rate held unchanged this week.
