ON DEFE NSIVE

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.--Industrial
and speciality stocks under the con-
troll of the pools furnished the bulk
of the activity on the ''big board
In the short session of the market
today. Al few of the motors and
steels added moderately to market
values, but the market as whole
appeared to be travelling on its own
momentum, with professionals and
pools apparently in a hurry to
push their favorites to peak prices
in their campaign against the
shorts"
The battle between the bulls and
bears in Al. M. Byers. Remington
Rand, Montana Power, Greene
Cananea, American Linseed and
other specialties was reflected in
the erratic movements of prices in
comparatively short period. Pub
location of earnings statements OF
a number of these companies con
tanned some surprises for the bulls.
and showed that other factors than
last years earnings entered into
the computation of market prices
for the stock.
Byers and Montana Power were
bid upward to the years highest
prices before encountering any great
amount of profit-taking. Marke;
control of the former was attrib-
uted to a pool in Pittsburgh, from
which source most of the buying
demand was reported to have come.
American Ice, Patino Mines. Inter.
national Nickel and other specula-
tive faVorites were pushed along In
spirited fashion, and Remington
Rand was again in the 1imelight.
