lket fractionally higher.
Rails, steels and motors were
among the best performers, but
there were a number of other
strong spots.
Gains ran to between and 2
points in active areas while losses
were held to fractions for the most
part.
Northern Pacific, which counts
heavily on its oil revenue. was up
nearly 2 points at times. In yes
terday's short interest report as
(of November Is. Northern Pacific
turned out to be one of the big
bear favorites with a short interest
of around 1900 as against SO, 900
the previous month.
American Cyanamid and Good
rich, both under the influence of
disappointing dividend announce
ments, opened sharply lower and
then recovered most of their loss
as the general market improved.
Universal Pictures, although
quiet, made the best showing in
its division after directors de-
clared a dividend of go cents, the
f1rst payment since July, 1948.
