New Tork, Nov, 24.—Public inter est in today's stock market, which marked the beginning of the fourth consecutive week of the "hull" move ment, continued unabated, despite the counter attraction provided by the public offering of the $100,000,000 French government loan, which was heavily oversubscribed, and immedi ately commanded a premium when listed for trading on the New York Stock exchange on a "when issued" basis. Speculators for the advance con tinued in control of the price move ment in the stock market, but they encountered stiff resistance because of the heavy volume of profit-taking by professional traders who buy storks "for a turn." and aggressive bear selling of some of the popular industrial and railroad issues.
