Wall Street
New York, Jan. 3 U.R) The
stock market rallied late today
after an early decline had car
ried prices in the leaders down
1 to 3 points. Shortly before
the close the list had an lrrgu
larly lower appearance.
The market was slightly more
active than yesterday with trad
ing for the first four hours
reaching a pace of around a
million and a quarter shares for
a full session.
Early selling was prompted
largely at Western Electric with
the possibility of a nationwide
sympathy strike of telephone
operators; the general strike In
Stamford, Conn., In support of
the 57-day-old walkout against
Yale & Towne Mfg. Co.; and the
vote of employes of Western
Union to strike next Tuesday.
