WALL STREET MARKET
SHOWS NERVOUS Trend

NEW YORK, November 30-The
stock market moved slowly, save In
spots, where there was . little more
doing, especially in the Marines and
some of the minor speciafties.
No one seemed inclined to extend
their operations, although it was very
generally believed that very mod
crate short interest exists that might
be run In with comparatively little
effort.
AS a matter of TACT. the market
waited and will continue to wait for
the Presidents address TO Congress

anything vital to. securities, but Wail

practically the only stock on the list

with small recovery.
Rail Action Very Slow.
Action in the rails was decidedly
slow. with fair trading In Southern

mitted to find it's own level, with re-
sultant weakness elsewhere in the
