Months may pass before the 49,

will liquidate it's assets, or permit
it to reopen for business.
This was learned today, after an
announcement by the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board that,
after five months of research, the
Treasury Department has not
completed it's survey of the assets.
Until the survey is finished, the
F. H. L. B. B. reported, no action

higher prices. While live poultry
is somewhat cheaper than a year

TURN IN RAILS
IS HOPE FOR
MARKET

NEW YORK, Dec. % GN.S).
Wall Street today is hoping that
the rails will swing into the holi-
day spirit of things.
For while the market appeared
to be doing quite we'll by itself
yesterday, traders generally were
agreed that any further rally is
doomed unless the carrier shares
are able to participate.
The % cents decline in rails
marked their sixth consecutive
daily loss and their ninth in the
last 10 sessions. 1t also proved
sufficient to force the carrier price
index below their August support
points.
Elsewhere, however, a bit more
cheer was prevalent. IndustrialS
moved up las points and utilities
were 49 cents to the good.
Bullish sentiment was spurred
by another surprise mark-up in
copper, with the 5s cents boost
lifting the price of the red metal
to 11.265 cents pound, the high
est in six years.
Naturally, the metal shares made
the most of this opportunity, with
such prime favorites as American
Smelling, Anaconda and Kenne-
colt forging ahead in real bull
market fashion.
In other divisions, however, the
buying impulse was held well in
check. In fact, in many cases final
levels were below initial quota tions,
and traders who were early pur-
chasers in the belief that a tech
nical rally was in the cards found
themselves on the deficit side when
the final gong sounded.
