Selected Specialties And !.
Rails AdvanceIn Market
Edge Upward While Many
Leaders Display Slight
ly Lower Drift
By BERNARD S. O'HARA

NEW YORK, Feb 26. -R-The
stock market today ended a rela.
lively lively and moderately bull
ish week with selected rails and
specialties edging upward while
many leaders displayed slightly
lower drift. .
The widest rally of the week
was touched off Wednesday by the
smashing attack of Senate majori-
ty leader Barley on the presi-
dents message accompanying his
veto of the tax bill. Subsequent
overthrow of the veto by the house
and senate was received by wall
street as bullish indicator but
apparently it had been prettv well
discounted by the mid-Week bulge
and profit taking stemmed the
swing from Thursday on. Accounts
were ightened Friday and today
as a precaution against potential
war developments over Sunday.
Carriers, especially those in the
reorganization category which
would be aided by provisions Of
the tax measure, on Wednesday hit
their best levels since Oct. 6, 1887.
They then encountered realizing
and virtually marked time until
their modest improvement in the
final session. Utility preferreds,
heartened by the congressional re-
bellion and cheering estimates Of
breakup values for holding COM
panies preparing for disintegration,
We're strong performers Thursday
and Friday with the composite fo-
the group touching a high since
Oct. %. Elsewhere dividends and
earnings were the main stimulants.
The Associated Press 60-stock
average was unchanged at STA
but on the week held net advance
of S of a point. Of 679 issues ap-
pearing in the brief proceedings,
263 were up and 416 down or I'M
changed. Dealings were sluggish
the greater part of the time but
colume expanded at the last two
372,7 ITO shares. compared with 346,-
103 week ago.

plain ran up 3 points on short

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-R-Price
changes in the grain market were
narrow today, wheat and rye dis
playing a firmer trend while oats
retreated under moderate pres
sure. Trading in all pits was at
the usual small Saturday pace and
not much interest was shown in
any grain.
Rye had the widest upturn, aid
ed by commission house buying.
Reports that Finland might accept
Russian peace offers shortly at
tracted attention and those bullish-
ly inclined on rye pointed out that
both Russia ana Finland were pos
sible outlets for this country's rye
stocks
At the close wheat was I'M
changed to IA higher, May $1.70
ga, oats were IL lower to 1-8
higher, May 70 3-4, rye was ahead
IA to ga, May $1.26 SO to ga,
and barley was unchanged to 1-8
higher, May $1.21 3-4.
The wheat market had to con-
tend with a report that the wa~
food administration would not be
in the market for flour on March
l, as previously had been expect
ed. The lend-lease agency made
no announcement as to when it
would resume flour buying, ap-
parently awaiting a change in the
shipping situation.
