STOCKS ADVANCE
DESPITE HEAVY
PROFIT TAKING
General Industrial Aver
age Lifted To Highest
Since 1919

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-Stocks were in
brisk demand during the days brief
session Of the market, despite the con-
tinued curtailment Of wire service to
western cities, and prices moved 1rregu-
larry higher in the face of a large
volume of weekend profit taking. The
general industrial average was lifted to
the highest previous high prices for
the year.
Bullish enthusiasm was created by the
continued ease of money rates and the
reports of expanding industrial and
merchandising activity. With few ex-
ceptions selling orders were well ab-
sorbed, net losses in most Of the popular
issues being held to fractions.
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron was one of the most active fea-
lures, bounding upward from the start
on reports that the First National bank
interests had acquired the Baltimore
and Ohio railroads rights" to that
issue. Despite the fact that these re-
ports were denied by President Willard
Of the Baltimore and Ohio, the stock
closed more than points higher at
63A, having crossed 81 earlier in the
day,
The so-called -four horsemen"-United
States common, Baldwin, American Can
and Studebaker-showed little change
on the day. Steel moved within range
OF half a point, closing quarter lower
at 11sA. Baldwin duplicated the years
high at 1929 and then slipped back to
1907, up u. Studebaker touched new
top at 46A and then eased to 46. where
1t was up half a point on the day.
Heavy buying Of the investment
shares reflected the usually large or
6ers being placed by the railroads for
next year, and lima Locomotives and
Pullman all creating new 1924 maximum
prices.
The Pan American Petroleum shares
gave another impressive demonstration
of strength, both selling above "a for
the first time this year with net gains
of about III points. Some of the other
outstanding industrial strong spots In
cluded American and foreign power is
sues, Cuban Dominication Sugar, Parke
and Tilford, Virginia IroR Coal and
Coke, the Virginia Railway and Power,
up 2 to so points.
Gulf, Mobile and Northern preferred,
responded to the announcement Of an
increased dividend by jumping more
than points to 80. Atlantic Coast Line
and Norfolk and Western also recorded
substantial gains, but several of the
other popular issues lost ground on
profit taking.
Foreign exchanges were easier with
irregular price movements.
