Now York, Dec. 31-Moderate deal
ings and Uneven price movements
featured the close Of the year on the
stock exchange. Few le aders Of the
rail and industrial division registered
more than nominal changes. interest
and activity centered in speculative
oils, steels, equipments, chemicals and
s~pecialties. comprising the mail order
and textile group. Advances Of one to
two points in some Of those shares
were balanced by reactions of the
snme extent but the markets steadied
on short covering in the later deal
ings. Sales approximated 400 900
The bonds were dull and fea-
tureless. a.
Highly irregular price changes
marked the opening OF the final SEES
sion of the year in the stock market.
Rails. shipp:ngs. oils and steels show
ed mixed gains and losses. but in the
main the trend was upward. Penn
sylvania's gain of one point was bal
anced by a reaction of that much in
Union Pacific. Advances ranging from
fractions to a full point in the cheap
er oils and shippings were offset by
losses in Standard Oil of New Jersey
and Mercantile Marine, preferred.
Further cash selling to adjust income
tax losses was observed among the
cheaper issues. Preliminary quota
tions for the leading foreign ex-
changes were higher. r
