Traders Liquidate Holdings for
 Holiday Closing

New York. Nov e6 Py-rhc stock Market ran into a steady stream of selling today which car ried long list of issues down 10 1s points. Only a few stocks were able 10 move against the general trend, and these had difficulty iu maintaining their gains. Trading was only moderately heavy in vol ume.
 Blame Bear Attacks
 In the absence of any adverse news developments Wall Street was inclined to attribute the selling to a resumption of Dear" attacks fol- lowing the abandonment Of the New York stock exchanges daily qucs- tionnaire demanding the name and amounts of stocks borrowed to cover short sales and the identity or the sellers. While this question: EaIre was in effect bear" opera tors were rather restricted in char acter because of inc possibility Of some restrictive regulations to govern this selling.
 Coppers were heavy from tho start on persistent but mcontirmcd reports that producers were having difficulty in maintaining the IS cents pound price for the red metal. and that any reduction in the price night endanger the dividends of some producers. Wall street hearI a report that an order had been placed for 30.000 shares of Anaconda Copper at 7o, and the stock held tallly well just above that level. National Lead dropped 6 1-4 points, C"rro De Pasco 4%4 and Calumet X Arizona 4.
 Dividend Reports Help
 Several more favorable dividend announcements were made during. the day. Directors of the New Haven railroad raised the annual rate from $1 10 $6, a j per cent stock dividend was declared on Allied Chemical. an extra dividend of 25 cents was au- i thorlHod on American Chicle com mon, and The annual rate on Inter national Business Machines was raised from $5 to $6.
