NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-Prof1t-
taking on three successive upturns
handicapped today's brief stock
market and resulted in irregular
trends for most departments.
Many customers cashed in for
protection over the week end. Others
bought timidly on the idea that the
national coal dispute, threatening
virtually all lines of industry, would
not be permitted to continue indefi-
nitely. Some purchasing was traced
to hopes that the list would nego-
tiate its usual December rally. The
flow of pleasing dividends and earn
|ings was helpful but conservatives
inclined to caution because of the
thought that this was water over
the dam" Tax selling tapered al
though there was enough OF it to
stall individual issues.
Prices slipped here and there after
la fairly steady and quiet opening.
Initial gains running to a point or
so were reduced or converted into
declines in a number of cases near
the close Both bids and offers were
timid and transfers for the two hours
dwindled to around 100000 shares.
Better performers included Amer
lean Telephone, Sears Roebuck, In
ternational Harvester, Glenn Mar

Carbide, Philip Morris, Santa Fe
and Texas Co. Backward were q. S.
