NEW YORK, Dec. 27,-lrregulal
price changes characterized today's
active trading In stocks. The 10,
voEable impression created By the
successful bidding up OF a few in,
dustrial leaders, notably Baldwin
was offset by heavy profit taking
and short selling at other points,
giving the market a spotty appear,
ance. Sales Appropriated 1000, 00O
shares. ..
Reactionary tendencies werc
quite pronounced sin some OF the
coppers, feathers and tobaccos
shares. but induStrials otherwise
we're inclined TO advance in sym.
patty with the heavy buying OF
Baldwin and the motor accessory
issues. Baldwin advanced 8 points
to 1888, while Bctch Magnetic gain
ed 4 points. Dupont jumped 4
points. Fluctuation In railroads
was somewhat mixed, Ontario q
Western and Canadian Pacific fall,
ing back. sharply, while New York
Central, Pere Marquette and Rock
Island were bid up materially.
The closing was irregular,
Price movements were somewhat
confused in the final hour, specu-
lators for the advance finding II
difficult to bid up most stocks
without getting a heavy supply at
higher levels. Baldwin and
American Locomotive continued
their rise TO higher ground, the
former touching 1891 for a net
gain Of more than points. Fish

were several weak spots, notably
