RAILROAD STOCK FEATURES MARKET
U. s. Steel Common Becomes
 Leader Today

1 New York, Dec. o9 Pt-Heavy buying of the railroad equipment ! shares, based on reports Of large To- | comotiyc and freight car orders, featured the mixed price movement lin today's stock market. Resump- tion of selling pressure at the open | ing carried many issues down 1 to points, but the market turned up- ward in the early afternoon under ! the leadership Of L. $. Steel com- mon and General Motors. which quickly advanced and l point. re- spectiyely, above yesterdays final quotations.
 Early selling was particularly ef- ! feCtiVo against the eastern Coalers, which have suffered the loss Of busi- ness as result Of the unseasonably warm weather. l.ackaUanna broke nearly points, despite the declar- alton of an extra dividend of Sl, and several other yielded a point or ! two,
 National Lead broke 6 points, Continental Insurance (old) and Kolly-Springheld. Commercial Solv. ents, Savage Arms and Dupont yielded points or more.
 Pools continued active In anticipa- tion of a heavy January reinvest- mcnt demand. New 1927 peak prices were established by about a score issues including Brooklyn Edi- son, Brooklyn Union Gas, Consoli- dated Gas, Collins & Aikman, Out let Co.,, Mexican Petroleum and American International.
 1 Baldwin Locomotive extended its early gain to l2 points and Amer ican Locomotive and American Car S Foundry advanced 2 points or more, Wide fluctuations continued | in Midland Steel products preferred, which scared 1 1-c points and then lost all its gain in the first three hours of trading.
 The market gathered strength be- fore the end of the first half hour. l Buying of |. s. Steel was soon in 1 evidence, rcflcCting increased pur- chases by railroads and an improved outlook. General Motors quickly re- 1 covered a loss of about point which had been sustained in further 1 reflection of rccurrent rumors of a 1 motor trade war The local Public l Utilities continued to advance, es- pecially Brooklyn Edison. which eX- tended it's gain to points to PA 1-2, q new record price for all time. Shipment of sl0,000,o0o gold to l France apparently had no early effect on confidence that call money rates will become easier after the year-end demand is supplied. A few railroads advanced in the face Of de- | clining car loadings. Pan American n shares and Houston oil showed i carly strength as did some of the sugar issues. Midland Steel Products i Preferred jumped 9 points soon aft CT the opening and advances of a point or so were fairly numerous.
