STOCKS RESUME
PRICE RISE, BUT
TRADE ESLACKENS
Profit Taking Ended by
Strong Rally
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, June % G.NS.N
The advance in stocks was re.
sumed today although trading
slackened appreciably and gains
were of moderate proportions.
The market was easier at the
opening, as profit-taking was car
ried over from yesterday, when
the spectacular runup in stock
values was halted after six straight
advances.
An almost immediate rally, how
ever, wiped out fractional declines
and brought gains running to z
points.
Later in the forenoon, best
prices were shaded somewhat but
the general list maintained a firm
undertone. CopperS, Steels, mo-
tors, chemicals and blue-chips
were pace-makers on the rally.
