Most Stocks Remain
Narrow and Mixed
In Dull Trading
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, Dec. ga few
stocks advanced today on special
support but the majority of indus
trial and rail leaders continued
Tuesdays narrow and irregular
drift. .-t
1t was one of the quietest sessions
OF the month with total turnover of
approximately $4,000 shares.
Some brokers were inclined to at
tribute the feebleness of buying in
terest to the railroad labor conflict
involving a threatened strike of op-
eratig and incorporating employees
on December 30. but the market was
under no stress 4 selling at any
time.
Quite bit below previous closings
near the finish were Santa Fe, Great
Northern, Chesapeake & Ohio.
Standard Oil IN. j.. General Mo-
tors, Goodrich, United Aircraft and
Air Reduction
Flrmer spots included Chrysler.
Goodyear and Allied Chemical. East
man Kodak rose more than points
on few transfers.
Loans of the New Haven Railroad
rose sharply in mixed bond mar
ket on court approval of the COM
panys reorganization plan.

Wholesale Commodity
Average Advances

The weekly wholesale commodity
price index. compiled by the Ma
tlonal Fertilizer Association. ad-
Vanced to 1854 in the week ending
December 18 from 1850 in the pre-
ceding week. A month ago this
index stood at 1850 and a year ago
at 1917. based on the 1935-1939 aver
age as 100
The slight upward trend in the
general level of the all-commodity
INDEX may be attributed principally
to higher quotations on all grains
and livestock which in turn caused
the farm products group to reach
the highest peak in the last six-week
period. The foods group declined as
lower prices were noted for eggs and
oranges.

business on record, both receipts and
the amount of mail handled at the

working days in December smashed
all previous totals, Postmaster Vim
cent C. Burke announced today.
In the II days this year postal
revenues totaled ST, ,169, ,65779 against
81 .O66, ,483. .76 in the like 1912 period,
a gain of approximately S103 200, or
9.67 per cent, Postmaster Burke
added.

to exceed every other December and
bring total revenues for the year to
a new high point. Mail and parcel
post service to and from Army

belief of Washington merchants
that holiday trade will surpass all
previous results.
