 Y Leading issues of the industrial group were seldom seen on the tape in the afternoon. Sales made in them were within fractions of the previous close. There was no pressure in any part of the market, and save for the oils there was only routine demand. Traders held aloof in advance of the long shut down. Principal markets of the United Sttaes will remain closed until Tuesday morning.
 The market community accepts Labor day as the beginning of autumn, and business usually has & seasonal upturn. Many look for a risc in the market in view of the prospect for a pickup in major lines.
 Encouragement also was given in an optimistic business review by Dun & Bradstreet.

 During the morning price movc- ments were narrow and without feature. There were few weak spots, including Erie and Nickel Plate, two of the Van Sweringen group. A few strong features de- veloped in tho afternoon including Collins and Aikman. the farm equipments and the wet stocks.
 The entire oil group participated in the advance with Amerada mak- ing a record high. Gains of point or more were noted in Consolidat- cd, Plymouth, Continental, Stand ard of California, Standard of New Jersey and Pure oil.
