NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-For the
most part, activity In the stock
market today was credited to the
operations Of the professionals,
who marked up prices in their
favorites in the vain hope Of at.
tracing a following. 1t was evil
dent, however. that the public was
not much inclined to enter the
market today, and stocks were
therefore permitted to wander
around aimlessly for the balance
of the session.

that the steady pressure on some
sections of the market came from
this source. Stocks sold on Friday
Except for CASH are not cleared
until next Tuesday, and therefore
may not be listed as a transaction
Of this calendar year.
Speculative effort was largely
concentrated in the first period, on
the so-called independent oils, which
were advanced from 2 to points
in the first hour only, to dron
with equal celerity to their starting
points. 1t was freely reported to
day that Pan.American would ex
change it's "B" shares for Cali

appear logical in view of the 1s
point spread between the market
on these stocks. Nevertheless the
California stock was in active dc
mand and sold within a point OF
its best record for the year.
