The undertone was fairly firm, with pools active in a, number of issues which are likely to attract reinvest- ment funds after the turn of the year. Buying centered largely in a selected assortment of food, inde-

 tobacco and public utility shares. Little attention was paid to the retention of relatively stiff call
 money rates and the sharp increase
 Iii federal reserve brokers loans.
 Among the score or so issues to
 break into new high grounds for the year were Nash and Packard Motors,
 Inland Steel. Youngstown Sheet X Tube, Christie Brown, Detroit Edi- son, Simmons Co.. International Business Machine, Coty, Life Savers and Mexican Petroleum.
 Rails were rather quiet, Della ware & Hudson advanced 2 joints despite the interstate commerce commissions rejection of the pro- posal of that road to lease the Buff falo. Rochester 6s Pittsburgh. Le- high Valley Cotton Belt" and Nickel Plate also recorded good gains.
