SUM MOVE DEVELOPS IN ' GENERAL LIST • _________ Rail Shares Are Bought ajid Group Goes Some Higher. Average Stock Prices Average price of twenty industrial stocks for Tuesday was 163.35, off .86. Average urine of twenty rails for Tuesday was 110.10. off .77. Hu United, Press NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—Another hitch in negotiations toward settlement of the anthracite strike caused further selling in the early dealings on the Stock Exchange today and a continuation of yesterday’s decline took place in the main body of stocks. However, the rails were well bought and initial price levels in this group were genarlly higher, with Southern Railway up % at 118%. Postum Cereal maintained the leadership of the specialties, moving up % to 112%. In view of the general disposition to regard the existing high money rate as a temporary factor, exPrienced observers were watching r signs of a turn in special stocks and significant indications were furnished in the action of various issues in the late morning. It was obvious that buying was more influential than selling in stocks like American Can, Hudson, General | Motors and Woolworth. These issues were able to make i upward progress in face of the de- j termined professional efforts to j bring about renewal of declines in I the general list. Pressed Steel Car common continued to climb, reaching 69% up nearly 5 points from Monday’s low. Local Bank Clearirrgs —Dec. !J2— Indianapolis bank clearings for today amounted to $3,727,000.
