MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 5. -- The Mississippi Rebels halted Tennessee's great come-back campaign today by fighting the Vols to a scoreless tie before 16,000 fans.
The stock market has completed another week in which movements of prices were indecisive. Favorable and unfavorable factors were almost in balance, with the scales tipping slightly in favor of the latter group. THE NEW YORK TIMES index of fifty issues declined 2.66 points on the week, against 0.31 point the week before.
