View YORK STOCK Market
Wall St., New York. Dec. 22.-STOCkS-
The excessive dullness of today's stock
market foreshadowed the impending holt
days. Dealings fell below normal and en-
braced only the better known issues. The
strength of the foreign bonds, including
Russians and a moderate demand for ship
pings, oils and motors was almost the sole
feature on the constructive side at extreme
gains of 1 to 215 points. Steels and similar
equipments were -hesitant, yielding frac-
tionally in the later dealings The closing
was irregular. Sales approximated 10000
shares Liberty As sold at 97.04 to 81, and
31a's at 9S. As to 1921
Dealing were extremely narrow with in
significant price changes in the first half
hour of today's brief session of the stock
market. Sentiment was again somewhat
confused by the conflicting tenor of over
night advices from abroad. Rails were in
chned to react but industrials, shippings
and few specialties registered moderate
gains. Trading for the most part was in
very small lots. Foreign bonds strengthen
ed but liberty bonds were unchanged.
