Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, December 6.-Today' s
tuo-hour session on the Stock Tx
change brought little change in the
general average of prices, although
trading was as active as on any Sat
urday in recent weeks and operations
for the rise in many individual stocks
were conducted with renewed vigor.
The gains in these instances, how
ever, were offset by fairly sharp de-
clines in other directions, and it was
evident that the market was encoun-
rering heavy profit-taking.
II. d o. shares Are Acute.
Railway shares were next. There
was a number of upward moves in
progress. while realizing sales in late
Tavorites among the low priced specu-
1ative issues went on. Missouri
Kansas and Texas common rose
briskly to around the SO leSel. then
met lot of stock at and just below
that figure. Kansas City Southern
crossed 40 again and Gulf. Mobile and
Northern was up a point or more.
Baltimore and Ohio led the higher
grade rails. with Northern Pacific a
strong spot across Il. Chicago North
western sold at a new high, and the
st. PaulS were in demand.
Philadelphia Company was the fea-
ture of the public utilities. 1t had
closed on the previous day just above

its best was more than points high

active, although its advance slow ed
down.
Stocks of the speciality type were
most prominent in the industrial sec
tion. United States Realty was swept
upward again, regainirg Fridays loss.

ther talk of split up. Coca-Cola was
at its highest for the year and Air
Reduction, American Radiator, CO.
lumbia Carbon, Famous Players and
Allied Chemical all made notable
Motors, Studebaker and Hudson, al
though moderately higher, attracted
some attention.
Following Fridays hye-point ad-
vance in United Drug in face of a
general reaction, the stock rose
sharply to a new high today. This
was taken as an Indication Of some
favorable corporate developments
The aggressive buying il United
Drug was the sequel of 4 steady rise
over a period of a month or more.
Dividends at the rate OF s6 a year
arc being paid.
Pure Oil rose about the so level for
The first time in recognition of i'm
provement in the company's business
and in the confidence that the pro-
spectiye changes in management
would prove favorable development.
Recent drillings in the territory in

Creameries.
BY the Associa ted Press.

CHICAGO. December Prices,
which advanced during the week end
ing November 90, declined this week
to former levels, when the shortage
of fine butter was relieved In Chi
cago, shipments from Eastern mar
kets and receipts direct from cream
cries caused an accumulation, which
brought about sharp price breaks.
Use of storage butter continued
heavy, Withdrawals averaging close
to a. million pounds daily. At the
present rate of movement the large
surplus over last year is being re-
duced and the trade in some quarters
views the storage situation with less
concern. Meanwhile production for
the country was slightly below the
previous week, with indications Of
continued decrease, according to re-
ports from manufacturers.
Closing wholesale prices and range,
80 score butter, at the principal mar
kets were: Chicago, less at 45ja !;
