BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Doubters
were plentiful in todays stock mar
ket, but sufficient bids appeared to
keep selected rails and industrials
in the plus column.
Peace psychology was accentu-
ated by the conquest of Sicily,
which, however. hardly was a sur
prise to Wall Street, and buying
generally still centered on securi-
ties of companies with hopeful post
war prospects. Official warnings,
though, that all-out continental
victory was faT from being
achieved, served to restrain broad
ening of commitments in most
cases. Expectations that big in
ternational events were imminent,
in addition to tax matters and the
forthcoming big bond drive, were
used as go-slow arguments.
The list was irregularly upward
at the opening and near-closing
gains of fractions to a point-there
were a few wider jumps-were well
distributed. One 50O00-share spe-
clal offering of general foods and
slzable blocks of low-quoted utilities
helped keep volume at around 500,-
600 shares.
Well in front most of the time
