Market Closes Ip 35 Ith a Graeral Display of Btrraatli. New York, Dec. 17.—The surface Indies tlons IQ to-day’a stock market all go to •bow that stock* were In very active course of transfer from th# hands of strong to those of weak holders. Th* cul m.notion of the rtee Invariably presents this very condition, but It Is a condition also which occurs ai tmervAls In every long eustalned upward movement. The conservative element, after seetug a certain profit assured, makes li a habit to sell and take a profit, without regard to the prospoct of lurther advance. Tho weight of Influence then passes to the bear party and the upward course is not renewed un til they have exhausted their beat efforts to push the reaction to a culmination. Whnt WHS'SVt tent to-day was that pow erful skillful manipulation was at work to mike the opening price# as nigh as possible to meet the flood of outside buy ing orders which was certain to come |uto tae market after lari week's eveota From the very first enormous lYalitlnu was In evidence, later In the .lay varl ou| attempts were made to hold up the market by marking up the prices of vari ous Individual stocks. Aa the fret became more and more evident that the sustain ing force of these Individual movements was taken advantage of to continue the unloading of heavy lines of long stock, the profesclon.il element on the exchange turned to the bear side. They wer# sue cemful tn forcing a sharp reaction, much reducing the gains that had been largest and -omcdclely wiping out a large num ber of those that had only reached moder ate proportions. Manipulation developed at the close again to rally the market by bidding ur> Northern I‘a’lfle to 7*4. a record price. The shorts were buying to coyer else, where, so that the closing • generally steady, with the further course* of the market very unsettled and doubtful. Even with the net changes In prices to-day very small, the profits on last week ad vance* are on ait enormoiM scale. To day's tir.lmated outburst of outside ppec uaitlon was the logical consequence of last week * events. The palpable fact that large hanking and flnaiKtal Internal* were taking on enormous lines of various stocks and the developments of the week pointing to far reaching plans and the Improvement oi values was offset for a time by the ap parently .lungcrous condition of Inc money market, but the showing In the Saturday t>.mk statement led to the con clusion that extraordinary measures were being taken by powerful financial Inter net* to conserve the ease of the money market ugolnst the natural drain on Its resource*. The normal course of sub treasury operations also promised some relief this week The outburst of bullish enthusiasm wit a certain consequence. The fact seem* to be that strong hanking interest* pro v'de.l tnsmtelvrs long since with ample resources to take advantage of the re actionary tendency of stock* Incident to the December period to absorb very heavy amounts of the various railroad stocks tvhlch have figured most largely in the stock market for muny day# past. Bo large and effective was this buying as to overcome the natural reactionary ten dency in the market and to prompt the speculative public to rush to secure stocks, seeing that the expected reaction was not likely to occur before January. Higher prices for stocks in January have been 4he universal expectation on the Stock exchange, and spo.'ulatora have only awaited an opportunity to buy stocks end to ho.d them lately In anticipation of the January rise. Last week’s hack statement was accepted as the assurance that mony resources wou.d be ample to hold stock* over the January 1 period Outside of th* opening general advance ranging up to between I and 2 point*, the most striking later advance* were In New York nubile utilities tad by Brooklyn Rapid Trie-,i ar.d Mrirof.olKan. the r.rl* ta 1 drrblltf.
