New Yorlt, Dec. 12.
Tho stock market nas called upon today to withstand an usually Ions
list of unfavorable factoid with the developments over night of a charac
ter to induce belling for both long and short account.
In aplto of these factors and tho Helling resulting from them the mar
ket showed tho same btubboinness which It has dlsplajed on frequent
occasions for homo time past.
Many of tho leading shares declined 1 point or mora under tho pres
sure of liquidation and bear attacks, but thcro was no Men of weakness
in any issues. Tho statement b Stcretary McAdoo, recommending tho
retention of ("o eminent control of railroads, was In lino with tho lew
of banking interests here, but brought many selling orders into tho rail
load group
Onlj one railroad showed much of a decline. Union PaiMo falling to
lJO'u. with losses In other Iimiu3 limited to fractions.
I'ncn taint) In tho steel und topper tiade resulting from the termina
tion of filed, prices also caused selling of those stocks, with United States
Steel dropping about 1 point, and fractional losses were reported In other
steel industrials
Petroleum shares continued in urgent demand, but did not make fur
ther advances than were reported In yesterdays trading.
A feature of tho market was the sagging oft of Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit to 33S, the lowest prko touched sjneo It was placed on the dividend
paying list
The bond market showed an Incgular tone, with continued steadiness
in Liberty 4 s, which were again traded In on a large scale.
The local trattlon Issues were significantly weak, with Inter-Met 414s
declining about 1 point nnd making a now low record.

The chief bullish factor was the sur
prising falling off In the )leld as In
dicated In the Government crop report,
tho production being the shortest since
1913. Other contributing factors on the
Use, vveie disappointing receipts; ex
tremely light stocks nnd predictions of
'adverse conditions for the movement.
1 Oats were stronger In sjmpathy with
I the sensational rise In corn Shorts cov
ered freely and good Investment buying
jwas noted. Realizing sales caused a
I reaction from the top
I The Government crop report was bear-
