NEW YORK, Feb 16.-R-The
stock market ran into profit cash

sorted favorites managed to get
into new high ground for the past
seven years, many recent climb
ers stumbled.
Trends turned a bit foggy after
steady and active start. Rails

Selling cropped up in the final
hour. Although gains of fractions
to more than 2 points were well
distributed at the close, losers
were plentiful. Despite slow inter-
walls, transfers for the full stretch
appropriated 100000 shares
compared with 100000 Thursday.
Cautionary trimming of commit
ments was due partly to the
thought of a technical correction.
Good war news from virtually all
fronts was an aid to peace-rated
issues although failing to depress
armament groups unduly. Recog-
milton of the huge reservoir of
idle investment funds served to
bolster bullish PSYCHOLOGY.
The Associated Press 60-stock
composite was off Il of point
at 61.3 after four successive ad-
vances. Of 993 issues register
