on reactions shows lack of selling
pressure. I note, too, that
asked" prices have held up rel,
atively well, indicating that longs
are not anxious to sell.
Bears See Check
The bears say the market has
gradually lost momentum on the
rise, and that on Tuesday the
averages were unable to get as
high as on Monday. They say
that technical strength has been
exhausted, and that a reaction
is called for.
As q matter Of fact, the
main groups Of stock have
been acting quite differently.
The "industrials" show q
notable rounding off in their
rise and a loss of momentum.
A correction Of technical posi-
ton would seem logical.
The rails" are at a resistance
level. They opened up with a
gap Monday. Early Car loading
reports for the week are not
bullish. Either the rails are
headed up to close the big gap
they left on the September break
or there is going to be consider
able disappointment on the part
Of these who have been backing
them lately.
Utilities Laggards
The utilities" have really been
doing nothing but bump along on
the bottom. There may be some
accumulation going on in the case
of the Sounder operating COM
panieS (not the overcapitalized
holding" companies), and ii
seems that some of them are sell
ing low enough. But as long as
Government policies are so uncer-
tain and initiation remains q
threat, no move is likely.
Evidently the general scheme
now is to SOft-pedal initiation,
work on schemes to stimulate"
DuSlneSS, ana not 70 fOck the
boat" I think che idea is to
pass the buck as to initiation,
and to let Congress decide.
But this merely makes g. lull.

inventory stocks" on the assump-
ton that "Stabilization" is at
hand. I would not buy stocks
which would not be helped by IN
flation. Congress is coming! The
commodity price level is not rising
and is far below the collective"
And any squirt in business at
this time is bound to be intla-
tionary at bottom, because it will
be based on Government spending
and growing public debt.

Further postponement Of the ef-

lions governing odd lot and spe-
cialist trading on the New York
Stock Exchange to May 1, next,
was annou ced today.
The new delay, which follows
postponement from November Is

difficulty the odd lot houses have
had in readjusting their organi-
cations to conform to the new
rules preventing firms handling
odd lots from dealing in round

stock" (bought some two months
ago. to come out. Also some profit
taking by traders who have bought
during the last two weeks was
apparent.
For the present, it seems wise
to consider the market action as
rather similar to that of the mid
November period. For example, or
November II, the market acted
much as it did Tuesday, and un-
der similar circumstances.
At that time there was little
change in prices for four days.
Then there came another one
day push-up, followed by a few
days of irregularity.
Then the market reacted mod
erately in the last week Of the
