Stock Leaders Drift
Moderately Lower

Fractional Declines
Plentiful at Close;

BY VICTOR EUBANK,

Associated Press financial writer.
NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Stocks
walked on crutches in today's mar
ket and the majority stumbled into
slightly lower ground
The news budget provided nothing
outstanding in the way of specula-
tive stimulation and leaders gener-
ally failed TO make appreciable
headway at any time While re-
sistant spots were seen here and
there at the close fractional de-
clines were plentiful
Dealings for the most part we're
slow, although large blocks of low
priced issues, apparently liquidated
as in the past week or so for the pur-
post OF tax adjustments. helped put
the flve-hour volume at around 800,-
600 shares.
Many who leaned to the buying
side inclined to keep commitments
light pending clariflcation of the la
Dor picture, taxes and price control
legislation. Sentiment was aided
moderately by the meeting of car
rier management and union repre-
sentatives with the President and
word the railway contingents would
get together later in the day for
final attempt to reach an agreement
on the wage dispute.
The japanese problem remained
AS a brake on bullish forces and
war bulletins left boardrooms guess
ing. Comforting for individual
stocks was another flow Of favorable
earnings statements and dividends.
Response, though, was faint in many
cases.
