Selected IndustriaIs
Give Stock Market
Taste Of Rally
Many Leaders Loaf, but
Buying Flurries Lift
Volume to l75,000 Shares
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Quiet
strength of selected industrials gave
stocks mild rallying hue in to-
days market.
While many leaders loafed
throughout the brief session, favor
ties managed to tack on further
recoveries of fractions to a point
or so.
Buying hurries occasionally lifted
volume and transfers for the two
hours were around 175,00O shares.
Brokers said the carry-over of
bidding from yesterdays improved
performance was inspired largely by
the belief of market students that
the recent drying up of selling was
a sign the list was due for a turn
about even if only temporarily.
War developments and the tax
question remained as restraining
speculative factors. So far as the
latter was concerned, however, Wall
Street seemed to be coming around
to the idea Congress would quickly
push through revenue measure
with more liberal provisions for
corporations as means of break
ing the bottleneck which manufac-
turers claim has been impeding the
defense program. Business news,
on the whole, was more hopeful
than otherwise.
Among stocks accorded support
were Allied Chemical, United States
Steel. General Motors, Briggs Manu-
featuring, Sears Johns
Manville, Great Northern, Sperry,
Westinghouse, International Paper
common and preferred, White Sew
ing Machine, Kennecott, Western
Union and Baldwin Locomotive.
In a sluggish curb prices were
shade uneven. Up trif1e now and
then were Cities Service, Republic
Aviation and Lake Shore.

following the new cotton loan an
nouncement. Final prices were 6
points lower to higher.
With near months under heavy
pressure of liquidation and trans
ferring to forward deliveries, it gen.
orally was felt in the trade that
the price of nearby deliveries had
discounted the new loan rate
Forward positions were more at
tractive.
Bombay accounts bought heavily
