STRONG FACTORS.
NEW YORK, Dec. If.—'The few spots
of positive strength In tho stock market
today were not sufficient to offset the
effect of the general disposition to re
duce commitments. Thero was discus
sion of the beneficial effect od railroad
earning* to follow proposed advances In
freight rates, but prices did not w re
spond except.In the case of Now York
Centra), which roe* vigorously In facn of
the prevailing downward tendency. The
advance In Pressed Uteri Car recalled a
rumor, circulated early In the week and
officially denied, of an Intended ab#orp«
Mon by the U. Ik Steel Corporation.
Other railroad equipment stocks moved
In sympathy.
The greatest selling pressure centered
on the metal group, especially Amerlran
Smelting. Rumor* of unaatlsfnctiry
earnings by thnt company were coupled
with reports of a waning demand for
copper and expectation of a renewed de
cline In tho price of silver, already near
to the lowest price of record. The Im
mediate outlook In tho money market
wae the principal topic for Yoneldent-
‘ l*>n.
Expectation of a week bank return

Expectation of a weak bank retui
was general, although It wns known thi
the weekly statement would not appear
