New York, Dec. 17.
For a good patt of the clay's trading the stock market showed pio
nounced 'sttcngth, but turned suddenly when almost posltho statements
were made that the money pool committee, which' has been In existence
since May 17, 1917, would pass out of existence and that announcement
of its dissolution might be made after the close today.
This action If taken would remove all restraint over banking accom
modation based on current 'Wall street collateral, and leave the situa
tion free to be determined by developments, especially Influencing various
secmitles tiaded In on the board. Prior to the creation of the belief
thcie was lgorous bujlng of many specialties and many of the stocks
selling at new high tecords.
An Instance was United States Rubber, which advanced to 79U, with
the continued buying being based on the expected results following the
withdrawal of Government restrictions on rubber imports.
The oil stocks were In urgent demand, with Koyal Dutch moving up
4 points to 110, and there was vigorous buying of Sinclair OH and
Mexican Petroleum.
United States Steel common made an advance of more than 1 point
In the first half of the day to 977t, but when the teaction came In the
last hour lost all this gain.
The chief market disturbance In the late trading was In Marine pre
ferred which, after selling at 114, broke to 108i In a short period on a
teported hitch In the deal for the sale of the British lines. The strength
which had prevailed In the market In the first half of the day disappeared
entirely when this break In Marine preferred occurred.
There was i heavy tone again to Liberty Bonds today, with the
fourth 4'is selling down to 95.52.
Some Industrial Issues, Including United States Rubber 5s, were active
and strong. There was a better tone to the local traction Issues.

TONE OF THE CORN PIT
EASILY INFLUENCED
i Market Evidently Oversold.
j Trading Not Large Close Is
Firm Oats Improves
Chicago, Dec 17.
Covering bv shorts In a market that
eidently had been oersold rallied corn
today after It had been Irregular., Trad
ing was not large, and the tone was In
fluenced easily.
Th atart was easier on selling by
local Interests, but they were forced to
rebuy on an improvement. in wan
brought about by scattered buying by
commission houses, due to talk of small
er receipts tomorrow.
Pressure de eloped on this upturn and
the gains were lost on weakness In the
hog situation and an announcement that
the Government had ceased buying rye.
Iate In the session the demand Im
proved and the close was firmer.
Oats also Improved after having been
heavy, owing to lack of stability In the
cash situation. Commission firms, local
brokers, cash Interests and houses with
country connections were good sellers.
Free receipts of both oats and barley
also affected sentiment.
The cash and export demand here
was poor.
I.cadlnc futures ranged as follows.

Offerings of cotton Increased today
and the market sagged, following firm
ness. There was no fresh news to account
for the setback, which appeared to be
entirely a reflection of an easier tech
nical position, after an upturn of 2c
a pound from the low point of Decem
ber 11.
exports for the day were again
heavy, and the dally reports on clear
ances are gradually creeping up to
something like old-time figures.
I Selling for a reaction, hedge offerings
from the South, weaKness at .-sew Or
leans and New Orleans selling all com
bined to depress the late afternoon mar
ket. Prices lost all of the early advance
on the near positions, and sold 45 to. 60
points below the high level of the day.
The close was steady at a net gain of
20 points to a decline of 9 points.

Interest In trading on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange today. Early In the .jf
session more thdn 2000. shares of common'changed hands ,and'tne price ivas
marked up 1 point, while- the preferred advanced as much on- sales aggre
gating Bltghtly more than. 600 shares, and. although there -wn no further
sensational activity later In the session, the 'Asphalt? continued to be th
leaders. However, In the afternoon some profit-taking was noted in Uie
common, which, became only moderately active, and It dropped back half .of
Its gain, but near the close It was nctlve and soared to 39, tho top price
since 1914. and Knvpf.-! hundred additional ahm-M nf thn 'preferred came out

however, tho warrants were unchanged at their previous close. United Gas
Improvement did little, but was maVkcd up and Philadelphia Tractlm
lost M. . - ?
.Ralls were Arm, excepting Pennsylvania, which yielded slightly, but-nope
of them wore active. Steel common has seldom been so slow, but it ad
