FINANCIAL AND MARKETS

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-The extreme dullness of today's stock market. transactions falling to the smallest total of any full session since mid summer, reflected the detached atti- tude of traders and the public at this period of the year. In the main, how ever, the undertone was firm, with oc- casional intervals of strength, par ticularly in some of the obscure or in- active miscellaneous specialties which suffered severe impairment in the No vember reversal.
 Money was again the one disquiet- per centf rom the opening rate of 10 and declining to the initial quotation just before the close. Little or no ef- fort was made to negotiate time loans, which ruled at recent maximum fig.- ureS
 American Tobacco securities, Amer ican linseed, Endicott Johnson. Rem ington typewriter, California Packing, Barrett & Co., and several of the sugar and shipping issues were con spicuous for their consistent strength at extreme gains of to points. Rails and representative steels and equipments made only moderate up- ward progress at best, but metals and local utilities. notably Manhattan elevated, denoted steady accumula- tion. Sales amounted to 625,0OO shares.
 Bonds were strong on the rebound in speculative rails, investment trans portations also stiffening. Liberty issues figured again, but foreigns were slightly better. Total sales, par value, aggregated $1,750, 900. Old U. $. bonds were unchanged on call

LOTS VALUED
 AT $500 EACH
 BY APPRAISERS

The lots near Beechwood park, which the city of Bridgeport wishes to take in order to enlarge the park, are worth at least $500 each, accord ing to testimony introduced today be- fore appraisers appointed by the Su- perior court. Other witnesses thought some of the lots could be sold for S1,2O0 or s1,400 each.
 The property which the city seeks to condemn belongs to John J. O'Neil and Wallace W. Welch of this city. O'NeiI owns seven lots and Welch nine. They could not reach an agree ment with the city regarding the pur- chase price so court proceedings were started.
 These lots front on a private street and the occupants have access to North avenue by a right of way 25 feet wide.
 Welch testified that he bought the property 19 years ago and sold part of the tract to O'Neil. The city did not introduce any witnesses at the morning session to testify regarding the value of the property but will do so before the hearing is ended. The appraisers are Judge John w. Banks, Clarence D. Anderson and William T. Mullins.

DEALERS ADVANCE PRICE
 OF ICE CREAM

In order to carry home a quart of ice cream to the wife and children the hard pressed householder of this city must pay 65 cents today, an increase of five cents over the price previously prevailing. Persons with small fam lies or who wish to enjoy a solitary treat may purchase a pint for 35 cents, an increase of a nickel over the old price.
 The wholesale dealers announced a higher schedule of prices for the re- Jai1erS so of course the latter prompt ly notified the ultimate consumer that he must pay the penalty, as usual Bulk ice cream, which has been sold to retailers for S1.20 a gallon, ad- vanced in price to ss1.30 and brick cream is selling today for S1.50 a gall lon to retailers, whereas the former price was $1.35.
 The ice cream manufacturers say the higher cost of milk, sugar and other materials has made it necessary for them to advance prices. The in creases will probably mean that the chunk of cream in the soda glass, which is already small, will diminish in size until it will become invisible to the naked eye.
