NEW YORK, August 15.-The
stock market attracted sufficient buy
ing to rally irreguIarly at the week
end today and gains of fractions to
more than a point predominated
among the most active issues in the
last few minutes of trading.
Following the selling wave in the
preceding session, liquidation dwindled
and short covering was seen in some
issues previously under moderate
pressure. But the rally was spiritless
and turnover in the tWo-hour session,
around $4,000 shares, was less than
half the volume last Saturday. The
close was steady.
Copper shares remained in the
speculative limelight. Demand for
an assortment of motor accessory.
steel, textile and industrial speciality
issues helped impart better tone
TO the share list.
On the whole, though, the bull
forces seemed disposed TO mark time
until the Autumn outlook can be sized
up better. Some commentators ac-
cepted the letdown in railroad car
loadings and motor output in the
latest week as signal for caution,
although the financial community
had been expecting some slowing of

in letting it ride up to my jack"

Now, if the jack does win the
trick, declarer can not make his
contract. What declarer should do
is count his tricks before playing
from dummy.
He has one spade trick, two
heart tricks and, to make his
contract, he must find West with
either the king of diamonds or
the ace Of clubs. Therefore, he
should win the first trick in dunn
my with the king of hearts and
then lead the ten of diamonds,
taking the finesse.
Of course, when the ten holds,
he should cash dummy's ace of
hearts, discarding a small spade
from his hand. Another diamond
should be played and the queen
finessed.
Now the rest of the diamonds
are cashed, then the ace of spades,
ard the contract is safe.
If the finesse had failed, de-
clarer would have had diamond
