Stock Averages
CO. Stock Range Since 1927
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Press Financial Writer


NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-The stock
market suffered from a slight profit
taking hangover today after yester-
days biggest ralying spree in more
than year.
The list had difficulty in negOtiat-
ing moderate advances at the start
and selling soon cropped up in VOL
ume Blocks of 1000 to 5000 shares
changed hands shortly after the
opening as prices churned confus-
ingly.
The ticker tape for a while was
aas much as three minutes late. A
definite downward trend then de-
velOped and, at the worst, declines
ranged from fractions to 2 points
or so. Dealings slowed and closing
quotations were above the bottom
in most cases.
Transfers for the full proceedings
were around 100000, with better
than a third Of this amount turned
over in the first hour.
Traders, brokers said. seemed a
bit less inhatio1-minded than on
Thursday when they pushed leaders
up for the best advances since the
war boom Of September, 1899, as
the Treasury announced a move to
lift the statutory debt limit to be-
tween S6O,O0O,OOOOOO and S65,OO0,-
10000.
The approach Of a lengthy hoI-
day-the Exchange will be closed

was sal dto have induced the CASH

rode the upswing of the previous
session.
