MARKET FOLLOWS
RECOVERY TREND
BY VICTOR EUBANK

NEW 1uRK. Aug. 19.--T-.he
stock market had on its recov-ly
CT ,hes in the week just endei and,
to the encou1 agement of ANALYSTS,
p,votals usu ped the place of ie-
cent low priced sprinters in the
rising ranks.
There was a little cashing in
profits owing to the fact principal
securities exchanges voted to re-
cess today and the succeeding two
Saturdays because of vacation help
shortages. But strong spots were
plentiful in the final proceedings
and selling generally was well alb
sorbed.
On the whole, revival Of bullish-
ness was attributed mainly to the
good war news and the waning of
fears over industrial reconversion
when the Nazis collapse. Stocks
with a peace rating were notably
favored from Monday on but those
with an armament tinge held their
own due to some short covering at
tributed to the thought these had
been oversold on apprehension re-
garding transitional losses. The
market had two better-than million
share days and activity was well
above last August in the other ses-
sions.
The Associated Press average of
60 stocks was up g of point on
the week at 55.7, which was not
far from the years peak of 56.4
recorded in mid July.
Prices in the bond division held
Associated Press average of rails,
steady through the short week. The
foreign loans and low yield issues
for each rose L Of a point and
other sections were unchanged.
Average daily volume was little
better than $5,000,000.
A few commodity markets re-
NAMED open today despite the holi-
day of the exchanges. Wheat at
Chicago was off 1-8 to 3-8 of a
cent a bushel Cotton futures at
New York finished 10 to 80 cents
a bale lower.

strength left in France to stop this
great Allied tide that is pouring in
upon them.
Reports from the south are that
our troops are driving inland
against comparatively light oppo-
sition from German forces whose
reserves were drained in the futile
effort to stem the invasion in Nor
mandy.
Germany lost the battle of
France when the tall, quiet Cen
eral Bradley outgeneralled the Ma
zis' best with the spectacular
breakthrough west of st. Lo. That
was the decisive action. The Ger.
mans only hope of holding France
was to keep the Americans bottled
up in the Normandy peninsula. and
that hope was quickly smashed.
