BY VICTOR EUBANK,
ASS ciAted Pres& Financial Writar

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The stock
market today stepped into 1943
with a fair amount of confidence
but with an appreciable slackening
of buying demand.
Many brokers and customers
elected to extend the Friday hoI-
day to Monday and boardrooms
were sparsely populated. Those who
appeared for the two-hour pro-
ceedings, however, seemed moder-
ately bullish. especially regarding
the further good war news.
While profit taking on the recent
rally was in evidence at the start,
assorted favorites managed to tack
on minor fractions which the ma
jority retained at the close. There
were few wider spreads. A
smattering of losers also were seen.
The ticker tape loafed throughout
and transfers for the brief proceed
ings we're around 100000 shares, one
of the smallest in more than three
months.
Ahead most of the time were
United States Steel, Bethlehem,
Chrysler, Santa Fe, New York Cen
trail, Southern Pacific. American
Telephone. Standard Oil of New Jer-
sey, Goodyear. Philip Morris, Doug
las Aircraft, United Aircraft, Gen
eral Electric, Reynolds Tobacco "B,"
Westinghouse, Texas Co., Du Pont,
Radio Corp. International Nickel
and International Telephone.
Backward at intervals were Loew's,
Great Northern. Anaconda, General
Motors, Sears Roebuck and United
States Rubber.
Bonds and commodities held to a
fairly steady course.
Supported in the curb were Lake
Shore. Brazilian Traction, Creole
Petroleum, Montgomery Ward "a"
Pantepec and United Wall Paper.
Firm bids were lacking for Pennsyl-
vania Central Airlines, Venezuelan
Petroleum and Gulf Oil.

Religious Fame Dotes

Millions Before War

Looking hopetulv toward ex-
change with Vichy French repre-
sentatives in the United States, the

breathe the air of a community
which thrives on faith, says a bull
letin of the National Geographic
Society. An old town of uncertain
origin, Lourdes was no stranger to
fame in 1858 when it made news
that stirred the religious world
and changed the traditional way Of
local wife.
A peasant girl reported that the
Virgin Mary had revealed herself to
her repeatedly in a grotto at the
rocks Of Massabielle. a part of the
town. Her visions were confirmed
by commission of inquiry appoint
ed by the Bishop OF Tarbes.
Fame Through World.
AS these events became known
throughout the Catholic world, they
set in motion a ceaseless tide of pill
grims and provided the occasion for
organization of several religious
communities in the United States
under the name Of Our Lady OF
Lourdes.
Before the war the number OF
pilgrims visiting the town each year
was about GOO, 900, most Of them ar
irving in August. Accommodation
for these visitors became the chief
business of the towns 5000 resi-
dents. Inns, restaurants and stores
were added as the throngs increased
over the years.
Other Industries.
Once widely known for its choco-
late. Lourdes had also looked to
nearby slate and marble quarries
for part of its income. An abun-
dance Of good pasturage supported
valuable breed of cattle.
Situated in Southwestern France
at the foot of the Pyrennes, 20 miles
from the Spanish border. Lourdes
is served by a railway joining the
towns of Pau and Tarbes. Long
prize in territorial and religious
wars, Lourdes was regarded as the
key of the Pyrennes."
The town includes an old and
new quarter divided by the Gave
de Pau and connected by bridge.
An esplanada leads to the shrine,
the basilica above the grotto and
the Byzantine Church of the Ro-
sary, completed in 1889 Hanging
thickly on the grotto walls are the
crutches discarded by afflicted men,
women and children who credit
their cures to a visit to the shrine.
Votive offerings and the flags OF
all nations are displayed.
