IS SPOTTY
WITH LIGHT
LOSSES
By THEODORE KOSLOW

NEW YORK. Dec. 13 QN.S0
The curb market turned somewhat
irregular today, although the type
of scale-down buying has appeared
in recent sessions prevented reces-
sions from exceeding fractional
proportions in most instances.
A number Of issues ignored the
general Sluggishness with mod.
crate price gains, indicating that
the process of accumulation was
still underway by bullishly In
clined operators.
Turnover dwindled in the
course of the session, but in view
of the downward tendency this
was regarded more as a favorable
omenS than otherwise.
American Gas & Electric. quoted
ex-dividend, the cash and stock
disbursements, rose almost a full
point to 284 before giving up
part Of this advance.
Gulf was soft spon in the
oils.
Curb bonds were moderately
active with prices irregular. 2
