Heavy accumulation Of the rails
represented extensive reinveSt men,
of year-end funds in those issues and
increased foreign buying prompted
by reports Of large current earnings
and expectations OF special dividend
and merger developments. Included
in the long list Of new 1925 high,
were Atchison, Southern Railway
Pennsylvania, New Haven. Rock Is

Plate"
Steel. Slow
Steels were slow in responding &c
reports Of expanding mill operations
and large railroad orders for early
1926 delivery. An increase in the
Crucible dividend also appeared to
have been discontinued. Equipments
pointed upward on the announce
ment Of several large orders involv-
ing millions of dollars.
Motors broke sharply early in the
week with some Of the selling ap-
p.rently induced by the announce
men: Of I tremendous reduction"

.ial recovery later. Stewart War
'er Speedometer was bid up to a
new 1925 high on reports Of u large
holiday business and expectations of
another dividend early newt year.
Oil Shares Active
Stiffening gasoline prices in the
west, merger reports, and rumors Of
an early increase in mid-continent
crude prices. brought about n re-
yival Of activity and strength in the
oil shares with Pacific Oil. General
Petroleum and Pan American issues
as the group leaders.
The long-awaited stock split up
of American Can was announced dur
ing the week and was followed by IL
sharp reaction in the stock.
Other So-called ''(hristmas di-
vidends' announced during the week
brought the seasons total to close
to $115.O00,OO0.
The unusually heavy demand for
gold and another holiday currency
was generally held TO be responsible
for the stiffening Of call money rates

comparatively small SURPRISES over

in the present prices almost entire

throughout most o: the week were
pushing goods for sale in order to
avoid losses.
Buyers for the same reason were
very conservative. limiting operat ions
to their most urgent requirements,
and in addition, were very critical
rs to the quality Of goods purchased
With confidence lacking and trad
ing very Unsatisfactory, it was but
natural that prices should decline
with the slightest increase in re-
ceipts or accumulationS Of street
stocks.
The fact that prices had dropped
to 4 level low enough to cause the
belief in some quarters that con-
sumptive outlets would be widened,
served to restore J measure OF con-
fidence in the markets towards the
close Of the week under review.
