ward slightly lower levels. but the
desultory and unconvincing manner
in which pressure was applied bore
evidence that even the professional
element whose dominance of the
market was again complete, was by
no means sure Of It's position. This
was due no doubt to the apparent
refusal of the list to be disturbed
by the gist of the political and
business news over the holidays.
The initial selling came entirely
from professional sources, but later
beartsh tactics were abandoned.
Values Stiffened moderately in
the second hour, but buying was of
