Prices held a fairly higher trend until the noon hour when they began easing off from the best levels. One Wall Street ob server said traders apparently were heading home early or go ing to Christmas parties. Steels held fractional gains. Motors were mixed with Chrys ler down around t while Gener al Motors moved ahead by a similar amount after its Chevro let division reported record mid December sales. Chemicals held close to Mon day's closing levels. Standard Oil (N.J.) bounced back from its low and went ahead while Texaco took the opposite track. Wall Street Chatter NEW YORK I CPU - Brad bury K. Thurlow of Winslow, Cohu & Stetson continues to maintain that the present stock market strength is deceptive and that profit-taking will bring in lower prices after the turn of the year for the issues doing so well in recent trading. Thurlow feels that many of these issues should lie good short safe candidates between now and the end of tlte year. Thurlow helieves tlie with drawal of selling pressure from tlie market has created the il lusion of strength and scar city, "an illusion that has been further enhanced by extensive short covering in stocks that have risen in order to establish taxable losses for the year, be fore the rales are cut." Invcstois Research Co. be lieves the first decisive buying opportunity since July may oc cur in the early part of the new year. In the meantime, the firm suggests, cash reserves should be maintained until tech nical studies indicate general buying is about ready to begin. The International Statistical Bureau says the 1983 record high may be topped in the com ing year, but not by a very substantial margin. The firm believes the leaders will contin ue to turn in good perform ances but secondary and spec ulative issues should move up better than they have recently.
