 New York, Aug. 19-(UP)-A turn came in the recent downtrend on the stock exchange this week. but the market was almost un- changed from the previous week at the close yesterday.
 Delcines occurred on Monday. Wednesday & Friday. On Thursday the Dow-Jones industrial average scared nearly 5 points, erasing previous, losses. The dip on Friday left the average up fractionally for the week. However, the rail and Utility averages declined, making the market as a whole about net unchanged.

 declines.
