Hits Many Leaders
By Victor Eubonk
Assoeicisd Press FinaneiuI Wriier

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-Individual

van of today's market, while many

taking on Thursdays bulge.
Dealings, fast at the openirs, soon
slowed and extreme gains of frac-
tions to point, or so were re-
duced or Cancelled. There were
subsequent comenacks here and
there, but slightly mixed tendencies
prevailed near the fourth hour.
Replacement buy and the drying
up of sales to establish losses for
income tax purposes provided a
trend prop. Bidding also was based
on hopes for 1877 business, better
labor relations and expectations
that a year-end rally would ac-
company reinvestment demand
Thoughts of a possible economic
letdown next year, however, kept
the conservative ranks well fllled
and numerous customers stood aside
or trimmed accounts.
In the plus column were Chrys-
Ter, Goodrich, Goodyear, Montgom-
cry Ward, Anaconda. Kennecott
Phelps Dodge, American Smelling
Du Pont. United States Gypsum
Southern Railway, Southern Paci-
fc, Baltimore & ONO and Chcsa-
peake 81 Ohio. Backward were
United States Rubber, Bethlehem
American Telephone, j. C. Penney
Johns -Manviile, Woolworth, Boeing
Douglas Aircraft, General Electric
American Water Works and Stand
ard Oil of Indiana.
