STOCKS IRREGULAR
AS SHORTS COVER
Market Displays RaIIying
Tendency, but Trading
Continues Small.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 24-Rallying
tendencies developed in today's stock
market, with gains not alone in the
stocks that had been under pressure
in the preceding sessions but in the
general list.
without any change in the business
background, stocks opened higher, pre-
sumably because of short covering slim
ulated by the conviction that the list
had been oversold and that some re-
covery was in order In addition there
were favorable developments regarding
a number of individual corporations
which were reflected in the prices Of
the shares concerned, and the revela-
ton that there was no considerable
amount of stock for sale at current
levels encouraged the covering process.
Rail Stocks Rally.
The announcement that Standard Oil
of New Jersey would retire $50. 900 900
par value OF its bonds out of cash re-
sources brought new buying into the
stock today, with gain of over a
point. General Railway Signal ad-
vanced nearly 5 points on the declara-
ton of the regular 81 rs quarterly divi-
dend coupled with the statement that
unfinished business on hand was
greater than at the same time a year
ago. Gillette Safety Razor gained a
point. perhaps because of the plan to
revalue its capital stock, although there
was no logical connection between that
proposal and the show of strength.
The railway stocks, after having
made their usual quota of new lows III
the first hour. rallied on repurchases
by bear operators. The best showing
was made by New York Central Ches-
apeake az Ohio and Atlantic Coast Line.
The first hours new lows included New
Haven, Southern Pacific, Southern
Railway, Chicago & Northwestern. Rock
Island and Louisville e. Nashville.
Hope of some compromise between the
bfotherhoods and the railway execu-
ing opinion remains pessimiStic as to
the rails.
Opening Is Higher.
Gains predominated at the opening.
The railroads stood out as the weak
est group.
United States Steel opened at 81,
up rs points, American Can was up
" at T4h Allied Chemical at 81 was
up "a, A. M Byers Pipe at 1924 was
up IA and J. I. Case at 40 gained
IA. Allegheny Corporation at 3l&,
New Haven. whose directors meet for
dividend action today at 271s: South
ern Railway at 1913 and Chicago Rock
Island at IA were the first CT the car
riers to attain new low levels New
York Central and Pennsylvania firmed
on their first few trades.
Western Union was conspicuous for
it's weakness at 52Is, a decline of "a
points. American Telephone rose y to
1871 and trifiing gains were scored by
Consolidated Gas at 68l2 and United
Corporation at II. General Motors
advanced "a to 1884, and du Pont was
up a at So. General Electric gained
u at 28A. but Westinghouse lost "a at
80 and Woolworth declined z to At.
