Bv FREDERICK GARDNER,

BY FREDERICK GARDNER,
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The stock
market ended the week on an ir-
regularly lower trend today but with
traders encouraged as liquidation
dried up to dribble.
At the close of the brief session
minor gains and losses were in the
majority with numerous issues un-
changed.
Trading forces apparently in
clined to nap as year-end adjust
ments for income tax purposes con-
tinued, and, even though these were
relatively light, they served to cool
buying sentiment to some extent.
The foreign picture, with the lat
est row between France and Italy
over the latter's demands for French
territory. was seen as retarding
market influence. In addition, Wall
Street showed a disposition to await
more definite signs of a business up
turn in the spring, after the leveling
of of the past few weeks. before
taking a pronounced position in
securities.
Steel Rate to Dip.
Forecasts of another slight DIP in
steel mill operations next week had
mildly depressing effect on shares
in this category. Labor difficulties
in plants Of Chrysler. General Mo-
tors and Nash kept these issues in
the background.
The days turnover Of 322 .480
shares was the smallest since last

issue today, edging up 4 to a new

the company's airplane engine

New York Shipbuilding preferred

smallest since September 10 and
compared with $4,000 a week ago.
Monday Is Worst Day.
Stocks had their worst day on
Monday as uneasiness over threat
ened general strike in France, in
addition to tax selling and doubts
over domestic business progress,
brought a downswing in prices.
There was a comeback Tuesday
and stable rally Wednesday,
when it appeared Daladier had
achieved a victory in the labor
upset. The backslide was resumed
Thursday and Friday, with rails
