NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Uncertain
price movements characterized TRAD
ing in the first two hours on the
stock exchange today. Speculative
groups which were behind last
weeks recovery tried to instil re-
newed confidence by bidding up
several Of their favorites to new
highs on the present move. but the
trading element was more or less
reluctant in following the improve
rnent, resulting in an irregular
trend shortly after the opening. No
doubt the approaching holiday de-
TERED many from extending their
position in the market, while at
the same time the bulge was met
with q good bit of realizing sales
by those who were still skeptical
regarding the genuineness of the
recent rally. They believed the
rise was engineered without any
situation, and that with the short
interest reduced to normal proper.
lions the inside position Of
the market has been materially
weakened.
The momentum ganed in Satur-
days session was carried into the
early dealings, -aid,.d by the execu-
ton of a fair amount of buying
orders, accumulated over the week
end. Stocks like General Electric,
Stewart-Warner. Coca. Cola, Aneri-
can Can, Dupont, Manati Sugar and
Central Leather preferred made an
excellent showing, while the oils, led
by Standard Oil of California, were
stimulated by an advance in the
price of kerosene, announcement by
the Standard Oil of New Jersey and
the Texas Company.
This strength, however, was not
communicated to the so-called mar.
ket leaders, which apparently were
held back BY profit taking. The
tendency to convert paper profits
into cash spread gradually through
out the list, but stocks acted re-
markably well, refusing to show
any weakness except in isolated
cases, such as Famous Players and
Texas Company, the latter in con-
nection with the report Of big
stock issue. Losses i'm the ma jor
groups were limited to fractions,
while in the railroad sections nu-
merous gains were recorded. Grow
ing belief that little will come of
the countrywide agitations toward
railroad legislation in the new
Congress is attracting some buying
in most dividend-paying and some
of the low-priced railway shares.
