SPECULATORS FOR | ADVANCE CONTROL Stock Market Finishes Year Strong By the Assoclated Press. New York, Dec. 31.—§ for the advance, who ha |the driver's seat In the stock mar- ket for the greater part of the year, were still in control of the price | movement as the stock market drew | to an end, although their supremacy was questioned for a time this morn- | ing by bear traders, who succeeded in temporarily unsettling the general llist. The afternoon recovery was |stimulated by a reduction in call | money from 6 to 5% and thence to 5 per cent. The early reaction followed an | opening siump in Baldwin, which | | was based on what speculative Wall latrect construed as a pessimistic | forecast of next year's business by {President Vauclain. Early losses | were substantially reduced, or wiped | cut and converted into gains by the {late buylng movement. Baldwin | rallied 3 points from fts low level | before the end of the third hour and !Commercial Solvents B enapped back |7 points, with smaller recoveries in other leading industrialy and rails. { Reading, Atchison and Southern | Raflway led the advance in the rail- | toad group, which was reported to Ihave attracted a large volume of tn- | | vestment buying. Despite the disap- | pointment caused earlier in the year {by the rejection of the original ' Nickel Plate,” merger plan, Wall street looks for definite develop- | ments in the consolidation fleld next | {year. Pools, apparently confident that a | largs portion of the huge sums being | {distributed in the form of dividends | and interest, would find their way | back into the market, were active !in bidding up a number of special- ties. Substantial gains were record- !ed by such issues as South Porto {Rican Sugar, U. S. Industrial Alco- | hol, Tngersoll Rand, International ' Telephone and Warner Pictures A. Stop loss orders were uncovered in a number of instances when some |of the high priced shares collapsed .In a precipitate manner following a | vicious drive by the bear element. | eculators | e been in | Baldwin was the main target of the | attack and dropped almost § points to 152%. Commercial solvents B went down 6 and DuPont, Genera! | Motors, Allied Chemical, U, S. Iren Pipe, International Harvester {and Loos-Wiles Biscuit lost 3 to 4 points. A rally was under way around midday when some of the eak issues were ruling 1 to 2 points bove their earlier low figures. The enewal rate on call loans was d to 6 per cent. HE MARKET AT 2:30 P. M.
