aged to extend Fridays late re-
covery in today's brief stock market,
but many leaders continued to drift
slightly lower.
Buying was far from impressive
throughout and, with the ticker tape
frequently at a standstill, transfers
of around $50 900 shares were among
the smallest for Saturday this year.
Numerous issues were unchanged or
failed to negotiate single trans
action.
Hesitancy ruled at the start, but
prices stiffened here and there in
the closing period and gains of frac-
tions to point or SO were fairly well
distributed.
Commitments were reinstated in a
number of cases on the idea that the
retreat from the l943 highs Of mid
July have served to put the list in a
healthier technical shape. 1t was
observed that stocks with good peace
prospects still attracted the principal
support while armament groups, on
the whole, did little or nothing.
