STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN SHORT SESSION
Market Shows Alternate
Periods of Strength and
Weakness Today.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 15.-Stocks
drifted back and forth in desultory
trading in today's short session. 1t
was a typical week end evening-up
affair. The turnover was light, many
traders were away from the street and
interest was at low ebb.
Opening irregularly, prices sagged in
the first hour, but recovered most of
the loss. 1t was generally agreed that
next week would see higher money, but
whether or not that would mean an
other market reaction was not so sure.
At any rate, bear operators were in
clined to take in their contracts while
those long of stocks lightened up. The
net effect was stalemate.
Motors Showing Good.
Motor stocks made fairly good show
ing. Packard and General Motors sold
off at the start, but rallied in the Sec
ond hour. With so many companies
about to bring out new models, sponsors
for the automobile shares did not want
them to display any weakness even
though they were unwilling to bid them
up aggressively.
Announcement of the Radio-Victor
merger brought some realizing into the
stocks. Radio opened up 2 points and
then dropped back more than 10. Vic
tor Talking Machine was points
higher at the start and then sold off in
much the same fashion.
Railroad stocks were steady There
was more buying of Erie common on
the belief that the preferred would be
restored to dividend basis early next
year. 1t is doubtful whether anything
will be done for the holders of the COM
mon at that time, but speculation
favors that issue. Chicago Great West
ern preferred went to new high for
the year at SO in continuation of the
movement begun earlier in the week.
Mining Stocks.
International Nickel extended it's high
on the first sale. The other mining and
metal stocks did little. Greene Cananea
sold off moderately, while Anaconda
ranged around the preceding close.
Rubber stocks were soft, perhaps on
the less favorable outlook in the COM
modify market. The utilities were firm
and Columbia Gas was outstandingly
strong, up points at 130 Interna-
tional Telephone was in good demand
also The oils were most Of them
fractionally lower
Airplane stocks featured the late trad
ing Wright. above 225, was up over
10 points, and Curtiss, around 139, more
than points higher Pittsburgh Coal
had sharp run up some points.
Otherwise the market was little
changed. The steels were heavy all
day.

COTTON CLOSES EASY.
Market Slightly Lower on Days
Trading-Spot Quiet.

NEW YORK, December Is (P).-The
cotton market opened steady at decline
of to points under some Southern
selling and week end realizing. The
decline to 2015 for January, brought
in little covering and trade buying,
but business was quiet and prices f1uc-
tuated within a range of five or six
points during the first half hour.
There may have been some buying
on reports of somewhat steadier basis
for some grades of white cotton in the
South and prospects for continued large
exports, but bufges of five or six points
from the lowest were checked by con-
ticued liquidation. Private cables re-
ported American and Bombay kuying in
liverpool and said the improved demand
for cotton cloths was maintained in
Manchester. The Amount of cotton on
shipboard awaiting clearance at the

155 bales, against 1901 last year.
