Short Covering Over, List Turns
 Toward Sales

New York. Dec. o7 P}-The post holiday rally on the curb market faltered today, after yesterdays gains had been extended during the early hours of the session.
 The rally appeared 10 have been promoted by short covering. and with the covering movement over, long holders of stock apparently began to tighten their accounts at the more attractive levels. Liquida- ton on bulges has been character istic of the market of late. and made upward progress difficult.
 Rally Soon Passes
 Electric Bond & Share sold up more than ? points during the morn- ing, but turned downward by early afternoon. Associated Gas A, and United Light and Power were in de- mand for a time, but soon encoun- tered selling pressure. American x Foreign Power warrants. American Gas t& Electric, and American Light & Traction were in fair demand. Hydro Electric securities bounded upward in reflection Of the reorgan- zation of the Standard Power and Standard Gas Properties, which gives Hydro Electric a substantial interest in the group. Duke Power bounded up nearly 10 points in few sales. Brazilian Traction drop ped nearly , points at the opening. then rallied.
 Investment trusts were inclined to be sluggish. Railway and light se- curities, however. frmed mp in re- sponse to the B extra dividend, Utility equities was in fair demand, and interstate equities was little frmer. Overseas securities sagged -o another new low below 20.
 Oils Fail to Rise
 Oils were steady to firm, but fail ed to make progress. The growing stocks or refined gasoline are an un- favorable factor which have had a restricting influence on these stocks, despite the progress made in crude production curtailment. Gulf, Hum ble and Indiana sold a little higher. and Standard of Kentucky was firm in response 10 the large tax refund. amounting to about sl share.
 Industrials and specialties were largely dull. Aluminium Co. rose a few points, after showing hesitancy at the opening. L. s. Foil B, Meet, Inc. American Cyanamid A, Fox Theaters A, Dubilier, and a few others sold a little higher. Ors De Nry was a soft spot, dropping more than ' points to a new low.

|BOND LIST HIGHER;
 TRADING INCREASED
Liberty Issues Fjrmer- Turn
 over Twice Yesterdays

New York, Dee. o7 LPD--Firmness of liberties and United States treas uries and an increase in the general volume of business were features of today's bond market. Turnover in the earlier part of the session was nearly twice that of yesterday and although price changes were still mixed, the ability of the high grade investment issues 10 maintain a rela- lively strong position was seen as an indication of the markets favor able basis positions.
 Utilities Stronger
 Some of the best buying was in the utilities. with Telephone com- pany bonds leading the inquiry. Rails of all grades were mixed. but indus trials showed little disposition to move from recent levels. Nliscel- laneous Armour 1-2s. Erie Conver- volved Armour ias, Erie Conver- tible As.
