MART ENDS WEEK
ON FlRMER TONE

NEW YORK, July 27.-K+The
stock market concluded another
bad short week on selectively
firmer note in Fridays final SEES
sion although it.was not overlooked
that many pivotals continued to
seek lower territory.
The list slipped on dwindling vol
ume Monday despite the buoying
of investment sentiment by the
quick sale of American telephone S
SITS, 000, 900 Of 2 ga per cent de-
bentures at par, one of the largest
deals in financial history. Thoughts
of a possible Japanese foId-up with
consequent reconversion troubles
inspired some liquidation.
Buying cropped up Tuesday with
the idea that technical revival
was likelihood but most leaders
failed to get anywhere in particu-
lar. Earnings, dividends and the
return of peace-time optismism
spurred s'blue chips" on a rally
Wednesday. Enthusiasm was lack
ing, however, and transactions of
62O, 200 shares were the smallest
for a full stretch since April 9.
The market suffered one of it's
worst nose-dives Of the year Thurs
day as the sweeping victory of the
British labor party touched off a
wave of bearishness that caused
the unloading Of accounts in vir-
tually all departments. Graham
Paige was an outstanding exception
in the route, hitting 1915 peak
on heavy buying attributed to
word of the Henry j. Kaiser hook
up with the company in a new
postwar automotive organization.
The selective comeback Friday
was credited to the lessening of
worries over British politics and
to more consideration being given
business prospects at home. The
recovery activity, though. dropped
to 100000 shares versus 100000
on the preceding days relapse.
Bonds generally trailed with
stocks but commodities were more
resistant throughout the five days.

CHICAGO GRAIN

tent buying by mills and commits
sion houses boosted wheat futures
as much as cent a bushel at
times today. Oats also advanced
fractionally and rye was up more
than cents part of the time, in
fuenced by wheat.
Brokers who frequently act for
mills have been liberal buyers this
week, and there have been reports
of fairly heavy flour saws. An
nouncement of the government S
new subsidy to mills will come
next week, and traders believed
it would be lowered somewhat. This
apparently has caused flour buying
ahead of the subsidy change.
Wheat closed IA to ga higher
