high marks for the summer rise.

ranging from to around points.

more selective demand but number

Trading circles were impressed by
the spirited advance at a time or

just ahead and the market fattened
by one of the steepest rises of recent
years for a two-week period, many
expected enough profit-selling to tenn
porarily halt the upsurge.

GUS, more colorful and more
spectacular than ever.
Working closely with Mr.. Van
