By the Associated Pross. NEW YORK, December 31.—The heaviest over-tne-oounter trading in any unlisted stocks since the war developed in Wall Street today in the shares of the new holding company, to which the General Electric Co, will transfer its $25,030,000 par value stock interest in the electric bond and share company. Prices of the new shares, traded in on a “when issued” basis, ranged from $100 to $115 on a heavy turn- over.

Reconsideration of the value of the rights which wlll accrue to General Electric stockholders in the distribu- tions, lifted the. shares more than 16 points to a new high price at 313%.
