Wall St. Report
New York, Dec. 24. P
The stock market today failed
its followers who had counted
on a pre-Chrlstmas rise as per
Wall Street tradition, but it
performance was better than In
the previous session.
Initial heaviness was attrib
uted to selling on the reports
of new Japanese gains in the
Philippine invasion movement,
plus a precautionary lighteninp
of commitments over the holi
day recess.
Transfers totaled around 1,
400,000 shares.
