Early Stock Advances

Market Trends Mixed;

As Prices foIter
BY VICTOR EUBANk,
Assoc iated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK. Nov. 24.-The stock
market took some fast recovery
strides at the start Of today's ses-
sion, as sentiment apparently was
buoyed by little better labor out
look, but the sprint failed to hold
in many cases.
Gains ran to point or so for
favorites in the forenoon. These
were substantially reduced or cam
celed after midday and closing
trends were shade mixed. Deal
ings slowed as prices faltered, all
though the early bulge helped lift
volume to around 100000 shares.
Reopening of the struck coal
mines and hopes for a quick railway
wage settlement spurred demand
for while. Selling cropped up
when it was learned carrier man
agement and union representatives
again had failed to reach an agree
ment and brotherhood chieftains
intimated the Government might be
asked to take over the roads for the
duration.
Outstanding bullish inspiration
was lacking in the war news Brit
iSh successes in Africa seemingly
were offset by reports of fresh Nazi
drives in Russia with Moscow
threatened. The japanese stale
mate remained as a handicap and
other international developments
were without much stimulation mar
ketWise. Tax offerings persisted TO
a lesser degree and many potential
buyers inclined to hold aloof pend
ing clarihcation of the price control
bill
Fast demand for obligations Of the
New Haven Railroad spread to other
rail issues in generally improved
bond market.
