LATEST NEWS AND QUOTATIONS OF THE FINANCIAL MARKETS SALES ON EARLY TRADING ARE HEAVIf Market Is Irregular Despite Buying Support—Street Watches Congress By lataraattoaal News Service NEW YORK, Dec. 7. —The open ing of the new Congress shared al most equally with the stock market in general interest in the financial {.district today. The market was ir regular In the early trading, with heavy offerings of the industrial speculative leaders, while the motor and oil stocks showed evidence of <■ good buying support. A 7-point ad vance in Chrysler motor simulta neously with a drop of 5% points In American can in the first half hour of trading illustrated the un even trend of the market. Trading was heavy in this period and specu lative interest extended to most of the principal groups of stocks. Wil Street’s interest in the pres ent session of Congress is unusually keen because of the constructive legislation expected in relation to tax reduction, railroad amalgams/ tlon, and general industrial and busi ness co-operation. Irrespective of political affiliations, Congressional leaders are pledged to such a pro gram and have the voting strength to carry it through. For this rea son the speculative district looks for continuation ofhigh-rate industrial and business activity, extended well into 1928. Continuation of profit taking and “switching” in the industrial, rail road, oil and utility stocks produced an irregular market in which some stocks reached the highest price levels of the year while others dropped back a point or more. Pennsylvania and New Haven led the railroad stocks, the former at St and the latter at 44%, the high best prices since 1917. . American 'Waterworks pushed up to a new high above 70; Brooklyn Manhattan I Transit led a spirited movement in the traction stocks while Consoli dated Gaa and Columbia Gas were active and strong. A new forward movement in Atlantic Coast Line brought that stock to a record high price of 241%, representing a gain of nearly 100 po'nts from the low of the year. Call money opened at 5 per cent, the tightening of the money market being reflected in the weekly state ment of the New York clearing house banks, showing surplus re serves at less than $2,000,000 against $40,000,000 a few weeks ago. 1 ’ Chicago Livestock CHICAGO.
