New York, Jan. 20-(UP)-Un- der impetus of the greatest Satur- day trading pace since summer, the stock market today resisted heavy weekend profit taking to show an irregularly higher appear ance.
 Tickers were jammed by the business that came into the mar ket. Quotations were abbreviated for a majority of the two-hour ses- sion and in the last hour quota tions were running behind the ac- tual market about three minutes.
 After opening stronger, the mar ket underwent a little profit taking and then shot forward with gains of more than 2 points over yester- days closing. Activity increased Heavy profit-taking came in but was offset by orders developing from every section of the country. The market resisted excellently and only here and there were there easy spots, one of the chief ones coming in the motors division.
 A number of favorable factors came to the aid of the street. Signing of the oil marketing agree ment, excellent steel production in tII0 1Ouh5Sl' VIII uISLI1CLp reports of improvement in the cop per industry and an increase in the price of steel scrap at Pitts burg all were favorable items. Also was the fact that public buying in the market showed no inclination to drop off.
 Amusement stocks were leaders in activity with Loew's the favor lite.
 Warner Brothers also firmed up fractionally. Distillery stocks, which have Jagged behind the market some in the last few sessions, were whirled up. American Commercial Alcohol jumped almost points before profit taking dropped it to around 60 5-8 for about 2 points gain. National Distillers was fractionally higher around 26 while U. S. In dustrial Alcoh showed more than point gain at 55 7-S. In the industrial list U. s. Steel was outstanding, jumping above 56. It finally was pounded below that figure but still managed to show more than a point gain at around. 55 1-2. American Tele- phone held just up at 119 for a fractional advance but Du Pont, active in the last two sessions, was off almost a point at<99.
 Air Reduction jumped more than 2 points to arund 1O5 while Amer ican Can held around its previous closing level.
 Rails showed fractional ad. vances with New York Central around 38 3-4 and Pennsylvania around 36. Farm Equipment shares eased off with J. I. j. Case

ability as an organizer was quickly
recognized by his associates and his
counsel eagerly sought.
This week is busy one at the
chests headquarters. Division and
committee leaders are being named

drafted for work in the campaign. All
that is necessary for the success of
the campaign is for everyone who can
to give their help and money, and

reach the goal.
Again, the campaign will be made
during the week of April %.
