Stock Prices Spotty,

Fovorites Resistont,

BY BERNARD S. O'HARA,


NEW YORK, March l3.-Further
profit cashing presented complica-
tions for stocks today, but the mar
ket managed to emerge with a small
net advance on the week and new
highs for two years or longer were
plentiful.
The list gave ground Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, although
it was observed that offerings dwin-
died and casualties generally were
mild
Selling to obtain funds for the
March Is tax deadline was q factor
in the early part OF the week,
although brokers suggested this was
much lighter than In preceding
years. A strong rally developed
Thursday as investment and specu-
lative demand revived and activity
expanded appreciably. The upturn
carried through Friday with the av-
erages hitting best levels in "a
months
Closing Trends Mixed.
Today's proceedings were a trifle
spotty from the start as the lengthy
upswing caused some customers to
stand aside to await a possible
stable correction.
While sfavorites were resistant
throughout numerous leaders slipped
into the minus column for small
amounts. Large blocks OF low and
medium priced issues made for the
second largest two-hour turnover
since late 1941.
the Associated Press average OF
so stocks was unchanged on the
day, but was up OF Of a point at 46.7
for the week, new top since May
II, 1910. Transfers totaled 500 $50
shares, compared with 1877 800 last
Saturday.
Helping the rebound which started
Wednesday was general bullishness
over the war outlook, despite the
slightly cloudier front in Russia.
Wall Street sentiment also was
propped by the assurance of Stock
Exchange President Schram to
President Roosevelt that the market
was in a healthy condition.
Bond Prices Marrow.
Price swings were narrow in to-
days bond market, although 4 few
specialties made independent moves.
Rails had good support which
enabled leaders of the weeks ad-
vance to absorb profit selling with
out wavering.

Ohio first mortgages and Central
Railroad Of New Jersey IS.
