Stocks Ebb Before Holiday

NEW YORK--The stock market closed irregular today but on a note of firmness which featured a dull season in which only 440,000 shares were turned over, the smallest since Sept. 6.

Reason for the dullness was absence of many traders for a long vacation over the Lincoln's Birthday holiday. On Monday all the principal financial markets in the country will be closed.
