| NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-(P)-The final
session of the year in the stock market
failed to disclose a clearly defined
trend due to the confusion caused by
the extensive year-end shifting of spec
ulative accounts, but the days advan-
tage appeared to rest on the side of
those working for higher prices. Pos
sibility of adverse developments in the
Mexican situation over the weekend
had a tendency to discourage active
speculation for the advance. A swift
decline in call money rates, however,
tended to create bullish enthusiasm on
the theory that it indicated easier
credit conditions at the beginning Of
the New Year, @s
Bear traders succeeded in forcing a
sharp reaction in the early trading,
using as, ammunition the failure of a

ment credited to the head of a large
locomotive company. Offerings We're

market was headed upward again by
early afternoon. Cash transactions
! for the purpose of registering income
I tax losses took place in about 100
stocks and We're in fairly heavy volume
throughout the day. These represented
sales by investors and spectators who
had bought stocks at higher levels as
well as purchases by bear traders who
had sold stocks short below current
! levels. Inasmuch as today's transac-

there was considerable profit-taking
on the part of those who did not wish
