advanced fractions to more than q
point In today's stock market, but
bull tendencies faded for the pre-
ponderant number of leaders.
Dealings were steady after the
opening, but selling orders increased
gradually and minus signs greatly
outnumbered plus marks near the
fourth hour. Traffic slowed, too, and
the ticker tape was inactive part of
the time.
Pleasing profit and dividend re-
ports bolstered individual issues and
buying was based on expected good
postwar prospects and investment
OF idle funds. Caution was instilled
by the belief that a sizable technical
correction might be in the offing.
Several aviations touched new
