New York, Sept 11-(UP)-.Im- portant banking interests rallied to the aid of the stock market to- day when the entire list threaten ed to break below the bear market lows touched late in May.
 They centered their buying In a few pivotal shares like Steel com mon and American Can and the selling tide was gradually stemmed when these issues rose above their previous levels, the entire market improved, and most of the early losses were cancelled by mid-after- noon. At the same time, activity dwindled.
 The market was not without its unfavorable aspects, however. as many traders used the opportun- ity afforded by strength in the leaders to liquidate stocks in other sections. The Railroad and Utility divisions were affected by this selling.
 Pressure of an important nature also appeared in various industrial specialties. Westinghouse Electric broke nearly points before meet- ing support, while a near collapse occurred in shares of superheater corporation a newcomer on the board. Sponsors of the stock took large blocks of it yesterday around the $8O-level. One story said that interests close to the company were prepared to buy every share of- fered at that price.
 Last night 1t was impossible to borrow the stock for short cover- ing purposes unless a premium was paid to the lender. It held at the ''pegged"t level of 30 through to- days early dealings but at 1880 sale of 1900 shares appeared on the tape at 26. From there 1t quickly dropped to 2s 1-S. Ex- change authorities were reported Investigating the market for the stock.
 This incident indicated the pres ence of lair pockets" in the market and created some uneasiness in speculative quarters. Persistent strength in the leaders, however, brought in a fair amount of short covering in various sections and served to offset the adverse liqui- dation in recent weak issues. Impressive buying was apparent | in steel common at the opening Brokers, who usually act for inter- ests close to the company, were large buyers of the stock. In the afternoon, 1t reached new high for the current movement at Sg b-S, gain of 1A points and shorts were driven to cover. A simiiar advance occurred In American Can, while Westinghouse Electric, Gen eral Motors and other issues, which were weak in the early. trad ing, recovered their early losses, Eastman Kodak was adversely af- fected by reports of an explosion at its Rochester plant.
