Although thcro was a Httlo more irregularity nttending tho price movement the tono of today's closing stock market continued decided ly stroDR. The railroads were onco more the backbono of the market and it was tho renewed strength of the go-called minor rnlh that turned the tldo of tho market upward, when strocfj reaction ary currents apparently had set in. The fresh outburst of strength In the rails in tho second hour was primarily based upon the confident belief enter tained in market circles of the railroad bill being pushed through the House to night despite the increasing opposition of the labor representatives. For some reason Wall street has a cocksure idea the same opposition will be smothered in tho Senate, and early passage of tho conference bill with very little altera tion is certain. In all events, that seems to bo tho temper of sentiment this morning, and upon that assumption tho low-priced rails, which nro sup posed to benefit most by the bill, were jammed up with surprising vigor. Price movements at tho opening and during the first fifteen minutes were ir regular and somewhat uncertain, part ly due to the increasing labor opposi tion to tho railroad bill and another reaction in foreign exchango. It likc wisc seemed to be the consensus of opinion among most of the leading com mission houses a moderate setback was in order, as the recent pace in the rails had been a bit too swift for the health of tho market. Op the appearance of fairly liberal realizing orders the bear party made pvery effort to depress prices and shake out long stock. Collectively their ef forts were without success, the only result of the fresh bear drives being to force lower prices for a short period after the opening, but instead of out side selling being induced, buying orders funk, ono of tho recognized judges of market tendencies asscrtod tho 'extent of thn downward movement could not be judged by an established precedent, hut must bo allowed to run Its course. Tho ebb tide, ho asserted, would bo likely to run without interruption until about tho middle of February, about which tlmo signs and signals should bo discernible of giving a possible idea of tho future trend of the market. Later on, he remarked, the only crumb of comfort to bo found in the alarming steady depreciation of market values lay In the fact of the ever possi bility of professional Wall Street over stepping Its market, which it bad tho custom of doing on either tho great up ward up or down swings. The wisdom of this philosophy was fully attested In the remarkable rightabout-face turn in the market trend this week. Allowing the ultra profes sional colo-Ing of tho week's operations, tho undeniablo over-sold condition of the market cannot be disputed. That faot was plainly apparent at all stages of tho rebound, as well as tho tostlmony of the systematic absorption of the bettor grado of stocks during the more violent periods of the reactionary movement. Thcro was found, when the tide of val ues turned to the flood, as glaring de ficiency iu tho supply of stocks ob tainable as thcro was in tho over-abundant offerings on tho crest of bullish wave last fall. Naturally, there is considerable di versity of opinion as to the character of tho market reversal, some contending it is but n temporary shift as a result of technical influences. Others voice tho opinion of it marking tho Inception of a forward movement of considerable magnitude.

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT Excess Reserve Cut Down to $2, 07f420 Heavy Loan Reduction Today's Xcw York bank btatcment was a big disappointment. The excess reserve aboyi; legal requirements showed a surprising decrcaso of $l5.fJf0,740, reducing the actual surplus to $-071,-420. This was largely due to the loss in the reserve account with the Fedcrnl Reserve Eank of $23,410,000. Liabili ties were, on the other hnnd, materially reduced by the falling off of 00,730, 000 in demand deposits. Loans and discountb'Showed a decrease of $32,038, 000. indicating a considerable reduction of the borrowings of the member hanks at the Federal institution. Details follow.'

While having no effect whatever in shaping the course of prices in tho local market, the railroad situation, more particularly the new railroad legisla tion, camo in ror close attention in local financial circles this week. In view of tho tremendous Investments of the lead ing financial institutions in the securi ties of the transportation lines this was to be expected. While tho conference commlttco report is likely to undergo material changes before tho actual bill has becn placed upon the statute-books, there is a confident belief in banking quarters that the legislation incidental to the return of the carriers to their owners will neeessarily be of a con structive character.

In other words, during the period ( government control there was a feder alization of many things tho rallrotj previously were forbidden to do. Thin federalization, in plain, every. day Enr lish, is virtually legalization, so in minj respects tho owners of tho railroads have gained moro than they have lost during the government control. This is only one of many interestiti interpretations made by tho closer ibj. dents of the railroad situation, and ill combine, in a measure, to place Ut transportation Industry on a soundtt basis than has been ever experienced in tho history of a number of lines and systems.
