Operations in stocks were light in vol

showed narrow fluctuations. with net
gains IN the larger number Of issues al

the account Of the professional element,
which was not aggressive on either side
OF the market, though in a few issues
active efforts were made 20 bid up quo
tations. notably in specialties such as

and Wheeling & Lake Erie first and
second preferred. In these stocks con-
siderable improvement was recorded,
