ers, oils and specialties operating

From Monday on the list had to
contend with a certain amount OF
liquidation based on the idea the
lengthy rise to = year average
peaks called for some sort of tech
nical correction which could bring
more profitable purchasing levels.
Demand for many peace rated
stocks was attributed to the per-
sistently good war news. Develop
ments at the Republican national
convention were in line with ex-
pectations in the financial district
and little immediate repercussion
on share trends was in evidence,
