S-point gain before leveling off to 104A
near the close. Today's advance
brought the gain for the week to 344
points. American Writing Paper 6s
advanced 614 points to 4314 and the
per cent certificates were higher
at 40.
Other firm spots included Pan
American Petroleum IS, Richfeld Oil

corded by a sizable number Of active
issues, including Baltimore & Ohio

dated Gas 512s and Columbia Gas SIS.
Only of the 13 Government issues

10000 and the 27ss of 1855 were g.
32nds higher at 1890. Others moved
