New York, Nov. 30.—The week end session of the stock market reflected in moderate degree the further uncertain- | ty of traders and investors regarding prublems of finance, commerce and labor. Dealings were dull and very narrow, concentrating mainly in U. S. Steel, Southern Pacific and shippings, nota- | bly Marine pfd. Movements in those groups were conflicting, Steel display- ing moderate pressure, Marine yielding half its gain and Southern Pacific re- cording a nominal loss after approxi- mating yesterday’s high level Prices in other quarters were equally mixed, Studebaker, for example, recov- ering the greater part of its two-point decline, while motors and their acces- sories and equipments were irresuiar, with coppers, oils and distilling issues, rails shading partly at the close. { Total sales amounted to 275,000 shai Actual loans of the clearing house hanks disclosed a_further heavy con- traction—about $37,500 000, but hold- ings of local banks in the federal re- serve bank showed a de se of $44,- 000,000, largely offsetting last week's gain. Excess reserves also decreased by almost $33,000.000, reducing the to- tal of that item to about $64,000,000. Bonds were again disposed to shade, all "the Liberty issues sagging, the fourth 4 1-4s recording the ne price of 86, Total sales (pa gregated $5875,000.

Bigelow, in active service in France. Lieutenant Wil- helm was a member of the lost bat- talion and his letters gave an inter- esting though brief description of that experience in the Argonne forest, when the battalion was for six days lost and without food. Word has reached here of the death in France of Lieut, Richard Storrs, son of Mr. and Mrs. E, W. Storrs of Cheshire, Conn. Death occurred on Nov. 13 after bei everely wounded. Lieutenant Storrs has many warm friends here, where he often visited and where as a small boy he resided. He was also a granduate of Connecti- cut Agricultural college, Storrs.
