NEW YORK, October 7.-Wall

ver's plan of economic stabiliza-
ton with enthusiasm today.
The financial markets pushed
upward at the opening, on top of
yesterdays spectacular advance,
but the stock market, particular
ly, soon found it necessary to
pause for breath.
Several gains of ST to ST a share
were recorded during the early
trading, when activity was again
at a feverish pace, but trading
slackened later, and some of the
early upturn was lost, few
shares recording small receSSionS
from yesterdays final levels.
100000 Shares Sold.
In the first half hour the turnover
amounted to 100000 shares, and was
turnover in that period yesterday.
Brokers were inclined to view the
cuieting down of the stock market as
more encouraging than otherwise,
pointing out that after yesterdays up
turn, which in percentage gain was
the widest in recent stock exchange
history, the market needed a breath
ing spell, and time to consolidate its
position.
While Official comment from heads
of the leading banks was not imme-
