Financial
Dealings NARROW
in MARKET TODAY
Due, Undoubtedly, to the Ap-
proaCh Of the Holidays

Wall Street.-The excessive dull
ness Of today's stock market fore
Swallowed the impending holidays.
Dealings fell below normal and en-
braced only the better known issues.
The strength of foreign bonds, in
Guiding Russians and a moderate de-
mand for shippings, oils and motors
were almost the sole features on the
constructive side at extreme gains Of
1 to i IL points. Steels and SINH
lar equipments were hesitant, yield
ing fractionally the latter dealings.
The closing was irregular.
Sales appropriated 176,00O shares.
Liberty AS sold at 97.O4 to 81 and the
LES at 98.48 to 1924.
Dealings were extremely narrow,
with insignificant price changes in
the first half hour of today's brief
session OF the stock market Senti-
ment was again somewhat confused
by the conflicting tenor of overnight
advces from abroad. Rails were in
clined to react but industrials, ship
pings and few specialties registered
moderate gains. Trading for the
most part was in very small lots.
Foreign bonds strengthened but
Liberty issues we're unchanged.
