happy Thursday and prices, gener-

Further selling of utilities cloud
Cd the stock list, although the
trading volume dwindied apprec-
iably on the Sagging movement.
There we're scattered firm spots in
evidence. but most OF the indus
trials, rails and oils We're narrowly
irregular. The news, as a whole,
was interpreted as constructive. Al
the same time proponents OF the
advance did not seem willing 70
back up their beliefs by any sub

The opinions Of brokerage COM

advanced that a full technical cor

that this movement could carry q
