NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—Selling to take profit @gain overcame the market to-day and (Ml‘ general level of stock prices is lower than it was last night. The day's net changes, which are fractional except a few stocks, give | no idea of the wide movement of prices during | the day mor of the notable strength shown at times by & few stocks. This is due to the fact that the market was generally strong in | the early dealings and was only carried below | Jast night's level by & very sharp reactlon, | which also reduced the gains of the strong stocks. The notably strong points were in the Cconters, Southern Raflway preferred, Baltimore | and Ohlo, Southern Pacific and the American | Emelting stocks. The movement in the coal- | eis was helped by the wintry weather re- | ported. The movement caused the revival of old rumors of consolidation or change of con- trol, the effect being notably manifest in New | Jersey Central, which rose ¢ points to 148, re- acting 1% The business in the group was small except in the Readings, which reflected very heavy and concentrated buying. The first preferred rose at one time 23§ and closed & point lower. Large buying continued of | Southern Rallway preferred and rumors con- tinued of a coming increase of dividend and & dissolution of the voting trust. This was ut the only stock except the Denver and Rio Grande of yesterday's strong group which | beld out to-dsy. The American Smelting stock rose 2% and 1% for the common and preferred on talk of the absorption of the principal com- peting interest. International Power rose 4 ints without explanation. Shortly before the e very large buying of Southern Pacific came into force, the individual transections rul ng from one to six thousand shares and | Jifted the stock 2 points. During tbe early | part of the 8ay when the general market was | etrong the steel and copper stocks were weak. | The steel stocks showed a disposition to raily, especially Steel and Wire, which got above 4 at one time. The stock closed unchanged. Amalgamated Copper was very heavily sold end late in the day fell to %% and closed with & net loss of %. The general reaction in the market was not accompanied by any untavorable development in” the general con- @itions, but to disappointment of some specu- lative expectations. The principel of these was that to-day's London Stock Exchange settle- ment would develop @ very heavy short in- terest In America. On the contrary it was shown that quite a large long account existed in America and that Londop 80ld stocks here New i for the new account. Another speculative as- e ot Chsamt k-t ot ol ent yesterday interruption ©f wire communications from buying stocks 1 was not the mo: of t ken advantage of. 1 : market continue very easy in spite e gain by the sub-treasu | rtuntty of to-8ay | D e ot Conditions 1a | ry from the banks | on routine operations and t ninly eettlement period, which usuglly dvmands cn the money market.
