NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Wall
Street Journals financial review to-
day says:
Brokerage loans at this center
showed a decrease of $S,000,000
during the week ended Dec. 8, ac-
cording to the report by the Federal
reserve board after Mondays close.
This proof that the advance in
stocks had not been brought about
through excessive absorption of
banking credit encouraged construc-
Htive interests, and the forward move
'ment in the geenral list made further
progress in early dealings today on
the New York Stock Exchange.
General Motors continued the
feature of outstanding strength,
pushing into new high ground on the
movement at 1913, up 13s from the
previous close.
No change took place in the char
acter of the market toward noon,
profttaking was absorbed and a ris-
ing scale of prices and vigorous adj
vances went ahead in many sections
Of the list
Regarding the automobile indus
try as whole. the outlook for 1927
is promising.

AmalgamatiOn UncOnfirmed
More Shorts Buying

Traders who follow technical con-
ditions rather closely are pointing
out the potential possibilities of the
next fortnight so far as tax selling
in concerned. 1t is held that longs
in such stocks as Hudson, who pos
sibly have big losses to show. will
sell their stocks to show this loss,
while shorts who might easily have
big paper profits will be wary of
buying to cover until after the turn
Of the year in order to register the
gains on next years showing. On
the other hand, Nocks like General
Motors, now around the top for the
year, will have a different story.
Here shorts will have losses to show
and will buy I'm TO establish these
losses. Buyers who have stayed with
the stock will have good profits, ex-
cepting those who bought in the six
ties and early seventies. This group
can hardly be expected to sell now
and establish this big profit. 1t is
generally conceded that there will
he more buying by shorts to estab-
lish losses than there will be selling
by longs.

Bx e. Walter MockIer

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-With trad
ing in excess of 100000 shares, the
stock market more than held its
own again Monday.
Pronounced strength and activity
in q few issues gave the entire mar
ket an appearance of activity which
was somewhat misleading. The true
status of the market was divulged
by the averages, which, for fifty mis-
cellaneous stocks, showed an appre-
citation of about one-ffth point for
the day.
Motors, especially the independ-
ents considered as likely candidates
for the rumored merger, were gen.
orally firm and active.
AmalgamatiOn UncOnfirmed
No new light has been shed on the
reported negotiations for the ANAL
gamation of many of the big indie
pendent motors, but the street is
still inclined to believe that such ne
gotiations are proceeding steadily.
Oils were generally firm and act
i've, with special emphasis placed
upon some of the independents
which are backed by powerful bank
ing pools. Industrials generally
were also in demand. Rails failed
to follow through at the fast pace
ct last week, but ire consolidating
