New York, Dec, 22.-The market con-
tinued its upward movement today on
a tremendous volume of business, sec
ond only to the record made one week
ago. On balance, it is estimated that
over s35, 900 shares were taken for Lon

Union Pacific was absorbed on rising
prices for both general and domestic
account.
Asfaet apparently connected with the
bank interest seemed in control of this
stock IN the local trading. There were
no new developments in the property

terests, although causing a reactionary

almost buoyant tone before noon.
