MARKET CLOSING
IRREGULAR TODAY
Prices at StandstiII After Early
Advance and Subse-
quent Reaction.
SOME SPECIALTIES
SHOW IMPROVEMENT
Abrupt Fall in American Telephone
and Renewed Selling of Ex-
press Stocks Feature.

NEW YORK, December 6.-First prices
or the leading stocks today showed mar
row and irregular movement The Harri-
man stocks were slightly higher. while
Anaisamated and Steel eased off, Sec
ondary transactions indicated an improv-
ing tendency. Canadian Pacific and vir-
Carolina Chemical gained a point
Union Bag and Paper preferred advanced
rs. making gain Of over nine points in
the last few days.
A run-in Of the short interest carried
UP prices swiftly. Union Pacific rose a
point, and other favorites half as much
satisfaction of this demand rendered the
market vulnerable to realizing sales which
Cancelled gains.
New Haven Reacts.
New Haven became weak. reactin1 to .
point under yesterdays final price.
Ihe market closed irregular.
After an early advance and a subse
quent reaction, prices stood almost still
to the end of today's half session. The
forward movement was utilized for dis
tribution of stock
Perceiving the source of this selling
traders helped along the reaction. but
professional offerings moderated when
prices returned to about a parity with
yesterdays close.
Basis for Bear Selling.
Bear selling was based in part on the
assumption that today's bank state
ment would be an unusually unfayorabI bIe
one.
A variety of inactive specialties
showed marked Improvement, which
passed unaoticed to the weakest condf-
ton of the general market
Liquidation of express stocks con-
tinued, and there was also an abrupt
fall In American Telephone
Bonds were steady.
Undercurrent Of Firmness.
Movements of stocks this week were
unimportant except for one interval of
pronounced strength. There was ap-
parent an undercurrent Of firmness,
owing primarily to the soId-out condi-
tion of the market. The ready demand
for stocks whenever attempts were made
to depress them checked bearish eff
forts. At the same time operatio for
the long account were limited by the
business and political uncertainties of
the present situation and the high
money rates
In consequence, the market was in a
condition of deadlock most of the week.
Railroad reports of earnings were ex-
ceptionally unfavorable. The copper
market was again depressed. and from
the steel trade came reports of slack
ening business, price reductions and
curtailment of operations.
President Wilson'S message to Con-
Sress had little effect on sentiment, al
though the vigorous rise in stocks We'd
nesday was attributed in some quarters
to the manner in which the trust queS-
ton was treated.
The bank statement of last week.
showing a deficit, and further losses
of cash TO the interior this week were
reflected in money market conditions.
Call funds, instead of relaxing promptly
after the first of the month, as mad
heen expected, held at stiff quotations
throughout the week
