POOR WAR NEWS
DAMPENS MARKET
NEW YORK, Dec. 26.—(^-Post
Christmas cheer generally evapo
rated from today’s stock market
as speculative and investment sen
timent was further sobered by the
disappointing war news from Eu
rope.
A handful of rails and utilities
did fairly well from the start but
leaders as a whole had to contend
with relatively light selling and
the majority finished with losses
of fractions to more than a point.
Even armament - rated stocks
seemed unimpressed by the oflt
jook for a prolonged world con
flict and such gainers as appear
ed seemed bolstered mainly by
dividend and earnings expecta
tions. Broadening of governmental
controls and thoughts of persist
ently high or higher taxes revived
bearishness to same extent.
The Assocciated Press 60-stock
average was off .3 of a point at
57.5. Of 853 issues registering,
446 were down, 210 up and 197
unchanged. Transfers totalled
996,709 shares against 1,280,640
Friday.
Bonds were uneven. Commodi
ties pushed upward. At Chicago,
wheat was ahead 3-4 to 1 1-8 cents
a bushel, corn 1-4 to 3-4, oats 1 to
1 1-4 and rye 1 7-8 to 2 1-8. Cotton
[backed away at the finish and
was unchanged to off 15 cents
a bale.
