BY SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-This
the last working day of the
year for most persons, finds
the majority Of Americans end
ing a topsy-turvy year on q
positive note.
You can celebrate the pass
ing of this often trying and
crisis-ridden year with thank
fulness that, as a whole il
ended a lot better than it be-
gan.
Business was brisker in most
lines. although not in all. Per-
sonal pocketbooks collectively
were fatter, thanks in the main
to more persons being at work
some at higher wage scales and
many for longer work weeks.
Stock price indexes end the
year near record highs, al
though the markets saw some
dizzy speculative whirls fol-
lowed by some hard falls. And
Wall Street ends 1861 with It's
practices under probe both by
Government agencies and the
exchanges themselves.
Biggest Christmas
It was a big year for the
securities market-in trading
volume. in personnel Shakeups
In meteoric rise and fall OF
newcomers, in threats of more
regulations to come.
