08/16 Abreast-6: U.S. Stocks Rise On Some Positive Economic Data

  FRIDAY'S MARKET ACTIVITY: U.S. stocks rose on some generally positive
economic data, higher bond prices and stronger overseas markets Friday.

  The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 15.67 points to 3328.94.
Standard & Poor's 500-stock index rose 2.18 to 419.91, and the New York
Stock Exchange Composite Index added 1.11 to 231.06. Advancing issues
on the NYSE outpaced decliners, 1,099 to 598. Volume fell to
166,180,000 shares from 185,700,000 Thursday.
  For the week, the Dow Jones industrial average lost 3.24 points, or
0.1%. The S&P 500 gained 1.03, or 0.25%, and the NYSE composite added
0.27, or 0.12%.
  Trading opened after the release of mostly positive data on U.S.
industrial production and business inventories. U.S. stocks also
strengthened as bond prices recovered after a sharp sell-off Thursday
and several overseas stock markets recovered from recent losses.
  The market was due for a turnaround, said Bradley Turner, market
strategist at McDonald & Co. 'We saw a technical condition that was a
little overdone, and I think we got a technical-oriented bounce,' he
said.
  Computervision topped the active list, with 7.1 million shares
changing hands. The company, a recapitalized version of Prime Computer,
made an initial offering of 25 million shares at 12 dlrs each. The
stock closed unchanged from the offering price. The offering was priced
well below the 18 dlrs to 20 dlrs a share the company originally
expected to command, but the size was increased from a planned 15.8
million shares.
