Practical suspension of efforts to support the market has been a marked characteristic through out the severest portion of the recent depression. ' The effect of this withdrawal of support has been a potent factor in creating a spirit,of un easiness regarding the market sit uation. It has caused the im pression that inside interests in the great corporations and the financial institutions were acutely apprehensive of their own future on account of the rigor of laws, botli those in force and those in contemplation. Whatever may be the real senti ment of the ruling financial pow ers on this subject, there has grown up a spirit of criticism of the policy of leaving the securi ties open to factors of -depression without attempts to contest them. There were reports today of this criticism having taken the form of open and sharp reproof from a section of the, banking world representing the great commercial and mercantile inter ests in distinction from the finan cial relations of the majority of the Wall street banks. \u25a0\u25a0Whatever the inspiration the stock market gave clear evidence from the outset today that the downward drift of prices was to be no longer unopposed. The late drive at the market yesterday had to be made at the rebound. The effect of the recovery on senti ment was obvious. More cheer ful views were expressed of busi ness, industrial and political pros pects. The December earnings of the Now York Central lines gave ma terial for a summing up of the year's results and were made the text for comparisons of conditions md prices. The combined opera tions of all the lines in the system showed gross earnings for the 12 months of $233,845,503, an ex pansion of $29,255,697 over the year before. The increase in net earnings, allowing for the growth of operating expenses, amounted to $17,453,410. The fact that New York Cen tral shares sold this week lower than in February of last year was made matter for some commentary on relative conditions then and now in the light of the year's operating results. New York Cen tral's response revived the Suy ing and completed the rout of the shorts, who bought very heavily in the closing dealings, extending the principal gains to from 3 to 5 points. Bonds were firm. Total sales (par value), $4,047,000. United States 3s registered and the 4s registered advanced \i per cent on call. Erie prior lien 4s.
