MONTREAL. Que. Jan. ii-(By the Canadian l’rcsa)-'i‘l1e leading, inter- listed, issues on the hlonlrcai Stuck Exchange gillncd smue ground tuduy, lnternatio11al Nickel, Brazilian ‘frac- tion and Canadian Pacific all closng at their hich mark for the session with advances of less than a point.

As the day progressed. however, suf- ficient weakness dcyloped elsewhere in the market to leave gans in the minority, three to eleven, at the close. Almost all price changes were o a fractional variety. Volume contracted slightly, total sa os amounting to 4.070 shares compared with 5,008 on Monday and 8,400 on tho corresponding day of last year.

international Nickel, with sales of 1,010 shares, opened unchanged at S15’. but advanced to 87,’. for 11 gain l-f 14’. nt which point it closed. Brazilian was

higher at 13%. There were no other gains. Canada Cement. second in sc- tlvity with sales in 020 shares, declin- ed ‘ii to 5%.; Dryden lost V, at 1%; Building Products lost 3% points tn 17% on sail-s of b\1t 30 silures: (‘anadn Cement deciinvl a point at llti; (fun- sdlan Car lost 1.4 at 7: the preferred eased *6 at 15%? Canada Power and l-sper was 50 cents easier at $1: and Howard Smith eased 1% st 3.

On ths bond market National Serv- ice Loan 1036's dropped $1.25 to $07. Total sales were $40,100, of which vie- s, unchanged at il00.25, pro- preutcr part.

Sterling eased about two cents to close at $3.1i-375. linitt-d .\‘1.~1ies fun,“ closed st a premium of 135$ par csnt over Canadian moat-y.

cal market continued the narrow and colorless nlnnncr of recent times in today's session of trading, with n11 almost complete luck of p iliclnter- est remaining the principal character- istie. There was nothing i11 the day's news to encourage an improved senti- ment on the local street, with the Wall Street mnrkct pursuing an irregular llnd in tho main reactionary course. The only 'ti1rcl~ issues to silnw net: itnius at ihc clusu I11 (he local were ihc thrce inter-listed issues, lira- silian. i‘. l". ii. 11nd International Nickel, hll up fractlonaliy, and in this connection it can be noted the mar- ket i11 New York enjoyed an upturn near tho close.

Interest l11 the newsprint industry at the present tiluo centres almost entirely in the colnprchcnslvc attempt being lnndl- tn create all utnnlguluatlan of the leading producers. As is already well known, banking influence is be- ing very definitely exerted to bring out of the present almost caotlc con-

Itntion founded nu sound economic ground. Negotiations uru llliikllifl i111- portant: progress under lilo lellth-rshlp of an important bunkers’ committee, but it will reoulra some time yet, oc- cording to interests close to lilo in- dustry‘, before the merger plan can take on some.
