shippers to participate.

NEW YORK, Nov. "a Q.N.S0.
The stock market was stronger
today after yesterdays reaction.
Emphasis was on the non-in-
Slationary stocks, reflecting the
fur her uprush in the dollar
and strength in U. S. Govern
ment bonds.
Utilities Move Ahead
Utilities recovered from their
long lump and moved up /
to 2 points led by Consolidated
Gas. Later the rails were taken
in hand while industrials i'm
pro,ed.
Mining stocks were inclined
to heaviness, though price
changes were small. Trading
Eas quiet.
The whole market at times
showed signs Of moving for
ward, but was held back by
Sluggishness of commodities.
The steels were held back by
late rally. Strength in the
rails was aided by the rise IN
traffic last week. Short cover
ing was largely responsible for
the strength in the utilities.

NEW YORK, Nov. "a GN.SO.
Wall Street after its recent calm
got a case of the willies yester.
day and the market took a spill.
Toward the close better tone
developed as the Steels started
to 60 places. The slump in wheat
and other commodities added a
new element of confusion but this
may be just a passing phase.
The new drop in brokers' loans
after the steady decline of the
last two months indicates the
buying is better than the selling.
We still can't see anything
more than a minor rally in the
market unless the rails do things
convincingly. There has been
better buying in the tobaccos.
Steels act as if they we're under
persistent accumulation. Experts
predict a good first quarter for
the industry, with operations well
above 40 per cent.
A Wilson preferred dividend on
account of accumulations is
being talked around. Such an
action is possible since net is
estimated around SIS a share,
but not probable while the
packers are battling the process
ing taxes.
