Soft Spots Uncovered

New York, Nov. 23.-The extreme
feverishness which developed In to-
days stock market was wholly In line
with precedents. 1t was not because
Of any particular adverse Developments
or any change for the worse in funda
mental and economic conditions, but
entirely because Of those peculiar con >
ditions within the market itself, COM
monty known as the technique. There
was buoyant opening recording fur
ther substantial rallies from the recent
protracted liquidating movement, which
was to be looked for in view of the
momentum gained by the recovery
movement yesterday. The early pace
was too vigorous to be long maintained,
and extensive selling for profits, coupled
professionals, quickly Cancelled most Of
the early improvement. The market,
however, came back regaining about
two thirds of the initial improvement,
followed by the familiar backing and
filling by which the general list started
nowhere and reached nowhere.
While some of the sore spots may
have been cut out, which facilitated
the technical rally, yesterday and Sat
urday. the days movements demon
strated conclusively there were still
good many lame ducks left who having
been helped over the bumps last week
were in no position to hang on much
longer and were indisposed to slide out
when the opportunity was offered to
get out at reduced losses. In the two
days il must be remembered the indus
trials regained more than one third of
decline suffered since election and much
more in the rails. Then again undoubt-

support came out this morning. Fur
thermore the conditions which were
supposed to be responsible for the re-
cent violent market shakedown have
not disappeared. To the contrary, they
were still very much in evidence, al
though many are confident in the belief
that the worst side Of the general bust.

LOCALS INCLINED
TO MARK TIME
Financial Difficulties of Prom
inent Commercial Concern
We're Without Effect

On u more moderated scale the local
market movements were much on the
same lines as those Of New York. Ir-
regularity characterized the fluctuations
of most of the prominent local shares,
but the variations except in two or three
issues were confined within fractional
limits, thereby rejecting the narrow
ness of the current market.
Electric Storage Battery continued to
hold the limelight scoring an early ad .
vance to 1868. from which it reacted
later to 1O4. An idea seems to prevail
on the street that with the transfer of
the large General Motor holdings ia
Morgan .du Pont interests. there had
been a similar withdrawal of liquidating
pressure from that stock.
There is not much to be said concern =
ing the movements of the other local
actions contained any special feature of
interest. In all the opening prices
were higher, but the profit taking and
lessened buying demand brought a
prompt cancellation of the gains, butin.
stend of being followed up by renewed
selling, the market became dull and
narrow.
With the exception of United Gas
Improvement, which surrendered 1ha
points of yesterdays rally in decline
to 3lh, the utility group held their
ground surprisingly well. The rails fol.
lowed close to the New York parity. A
point decline in American Gas was the
