CURB PRICES DRIFT
 ID LOWER LEVELS
Trading Dull-StutZ Hits Low Utilities Sag After Rally

New York, Dec. 50 Py-Curb market shares drifted moderately lower today. A little buying appear ed here and there during the first hour of trading, but it soon peter&d out. Trading remained unusually dull, reflecting little more than tn year end readjustment of accounts. There was undoubtedly further tax selling, but it was in small volume.
 The petition in involuntary bank ruptcy against Stutz Motors caused ar immediate drop in the shares 10 a new low at 1 5-S. The autumn stock market crash is believed to have had an adverse influence upon the market for high priced shares Stutz stock was depressed from r.. late in September, to price of 2l, early this month. It sold last May at 34. On the basis of today's qllo- tations, it is difficult to believe that Stutz sold as high as SPA a share lr 1920, the year of the sensational 'StutZ corner"
 Utilities Soon Sag
 A few of the utilities were well supported at the opening, Electric Bond & Share rose moro than 6 Eoint, but lost most Of it's gain by carly afternoon.

YEAR-END SALES
 FORCELIST DOWN
Last Tax Loss Opportunity Causes Extensive Sales Today

New York. Dec. 50 LP)-EXtcnsive l year-end readjustment of speculative accounts brought about an irregular 1 price movement in today's stock market. Prices headed upward at the opening, but turned heavy around midday when fresh selliu; broke out in the copper, rubber an ] merchandising issues Many Of the early gains Of to 5i3 points were cut down, and several Of them we' e converted into net declines by early ! afternoon.
 Last Tax Day Left This was the last day in which stocks could be sold the regular way for the purpose Of establishing ill., come tax losses. and it was apparent that much of the days selling was for that reason. Tax sales for cash may still be made tomorrow Dut stocks sold in the ordinary manner 1 on that day will not be cleared until January ,.
 Filing of a bankruptcy petition against the StLtz Motor Car Co.,, Of America, Inc, was one of the mos. .hteresting developments of the day buslness news. Ford motor plants are reported to have en- .arged their payrolls but news from the other industrial centcrs was rather negative in character, due to the shutdowns and reduced opera lions incidental to the inventory season.
 Call money was firm al per cent with indications that the rate would not go above that level, despite the heavy ycar-end currency demands. The time money market was quiet, but a bIIsl business was reported in bankers acceptances, with no change in rates.
 kcnnecott Drifts Down Kcnnecott was the principal tar get of selling pressure in the copper group, yielding 3 points. Other red , metal shares received fairly good support, the maintenance of the g. annual dividend on Anaconda and
  the ability of the producers to hold the official rate for copper at IS cents pound having had a tendency to check liquidation in that group. Rubbers were rcaCtionary. all the fish issues sagging 10 new low levels for the year, while |. S. Rubber First preferred dropped points and Goodyear 2ls.
 A fresh outbreak Of selling in Sears Roebuck carried that issue down more than points to S21o, or just Hla points above the low cs- tablished in the November break, but it quickly snapped back above S3.
 Columbian Carbon ran up 1-o points in the early trading but lost all it's gain. J. I. Case sold 1-1 points higher, R. H. Macy 4 and General Electric. Westinghouse Elec- tric, Detroit Edison, Simmons Co, Air Reduction, Warner Bros, A. M Byers and First National Stores were warked up points or more before the rise was checked by the midday selling.
