ter an abrupt decline on Mariner
s. Eccle's recommendation OF adj
ditional taxes on wartime specu-
lative profits in equity securities

ket recovered in irregular fashion
and closed with prices mixed.
Most leaders finished lower but
substantially above the bottoms.
Colds, coppers and some indus
trial specialties had final gains
ranging from fractions to 2 points.
Late buying of these was associat-
ed with inflationary ideas.
Nervous selling in the early pro-
ceedings rolled up many losses OF
! to more than points. The mar
ket was vulnerable to bad news
after its long advance to 7-year
highs and the Federal Reserve
Board tax ideas were so inter-
preted by Fall Streeters.
