NEW YORK, December Especial
ties ran the gantlet Of light selling
In today's stock market for gains Of
fractions to 2 or more points, but
most recent leaders were unable to get
far out in front.
Encouraging business news and less
worry over foreign happenings tended
to brace market sentiment, but many
traders seemed to find their positions
on the side lines fairly comfortable.
An assortment Of low-priced issues
was again quite lively. A few oils,
aircrafts and rail equipments pushed
up briskly for time. Offerings in
most cases. however, were sufficient
to keep the so-called blue chips" in
q comparatively slim groove.
The Associated Press average of so
stocks was unchanged at 70.4. Trans
fers for the two-hour session totaled
1000 $50 shares, against 1,434,28O last
Saturday.
More friends appeared for petroleum
following the lifting of crude prices
and expectations heavy consumption
demand would offset any possible STEP
up in production.
War preparations abroad and de-
fensive measures at home prodded
eviations to another moderate upturn.
