Stock Rally Checked
BY War Developments
In Far East
Early Advances Cut,
Declines Plentiful
At Days Close
By VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK. Dec. 19-Slightly
cloudier war news from the Far East
today helped chill a nice stock mar
ket rally that, in the forenoon, lifted
many weak leaders of the past week
or so fractions to more than a point.
The list made fast headWay on
the advance for time, but soon
encountered opposition when word
was received Of stronger Japanese
bombing raids on Manila and other
Philippine sectors, British reverses
at Hong Kong and additional with
drawals of English forces in Malaya.
While there was no abrupt back
slide in the majority of pivotal
stocks, extreme improvement was
well trimmed and declines we're
plentiful at the close.

aged TO cling TO modest plus signs.
Apparent successes of the Mikado's
invading troops, brokers said, did
much to Offset more cheering battle
bulletins from Russia and Africa
where, it seemed, the Nal legions
were still in trouble.
Initial bidding was thought to have
been based principally on the idea
the market had been touching new
lows since April. 1893. and stood a
chance for technical correction.
Tax selling in low-priced issues
again bolstered the days volume.
Transfers for the full proceedings
were around 100000 shares.
Bonds Unevenly Higher.
The bond market worked irreg-
ularly higher. Gains ranged to
more than a point but there we're
enough similar losses to give the list
a spotty appearance near the end
of the session.

Nudest Dress

The dress that Brenda Joyce
wore in our action tour created
'pulenty" of attention. with one
reviewer going SO far as to say
that il was the nudest dress he
had ever seen out of a musical,
Well. that's what he thought
for the dress Travis Banton de-
signed for Brenda was the most
covered up affair I've ever seen,
for, in III e supposedly bare
places it was really nude-colored
chiffon. Even Brenda's arms
were covered.
Now clipping from a fashion
magazine says tn a t Brenda's
dress had started a new style
and that the new chiffonS viii
match as closely as possible the
color of milady's skin. There will
be suntan chiffons for suntanned
sirens and skin tones of all coll
ors for the other types.
