MARKET SLOW
. AND TRADERS
CAUTIOUS
By WALL STREET SPECTATOR

By WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, Dec. % G.N.SO
Traders are sticking pretty close
to shore these days and are leav-
ing the market to its own devices.
1t was inevitable, then, that the
Soggy movements of recent seS-
Sions continue yesterday.
Utilities were still for sale,
while tax selling was apparent
in a great many other issues.
Perhaps the next few days with
this optimism about 1885 will
bring a change as the end of the
year approaches.
American Can is pulling the
rare trick by winding up around
its best price for the year.
And this is keying up a good
deal of interest in the regular
directors meeting the day after
Christmas. 1t is only month
ago that the Can board declared
q 81 extra, but some are wonder
ing if another handout OF this
sort is in the making. The COM
pany is expected to net around ST
q share or so for the year, and
its treasury doesn't need any
extra cash. That furry Of buy
ing in the oils was due largely to
the recommendation of one of the
investment counselorS.
The American Telephone bust
ness chart is understood to pre-
dict good things ahead for bust
ness.
: Once upon a time this index
had quite an influence downtown,
but little has been heard of it in
recent months. Put and call
dealers continue to quote leading
stocks very close to the market.
One of the ingenious offers IS
q Straddle-both a put and call
on Consolidated Gas at the mar
ket for 80 days at a cost OF $4OO.
Fast-stepping Air Reduction is
available on a call 3l2 points up
for 80 days. Douglas Aircraft is
only a half point up, and U. S.
Steel within a fraction Of the cur.
rent price. U. S. Smelling puts
I; are z points down, and calls the
same figure up.
