Increasing Stability
OF Business Hailed
By Purchasing Agents
BY The Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-The Ma
tional Association of Purchasing
Agents said today that business Is
good and should continue good for
some time unless disturbed by con-
ditions in other parts of the world.
A report by the associations Bus
mess Survey Committee stated:
Business appears to be gaining
stability and, in this respect, is bet
ter than at any time during the past
year. Barring major labor difficult
ties, industrial production should go
along very satisfactorily.
Business volume may decline
somewhat, but what remains will be
on sounder basis, and probably
more desirable"
The association again reported
that commodity prices are advanc-
ing, but very slightly over month
ago. and added:
The swing from a sellers market
to buyers market on some items
seems to be approach;ng-and prob
ably is nearer than many suspect.
Higher prices appear to result
largely from higher wages.
There are, of course, instances
where prices are running wild, but
industry is successfully resisting any
such tendency, and reports generally
accept prices as being reasonable
under present conditions
The association said the unbal-
anced condition of inventories ap-
pears the major problem in that
field, but said there was practically
no change in the general inventory
situation over a month ago. Buyers,
it was reported, continued to make
every effort to reduce inventories,
especially on high-dollar items.

Stock Market Closes
Losing Week With
Uneven Recovery
By Victor Eubonk
Assoeioied Press Finonciol Writer

NEW YORK, Dec 28.-The stock
market today concluded its first los.
ing week in more than month with
trregularly higher tendencies ruling
q relatively. quiet session.
The direction was foggy from the
start of the short proceedings but
demand expanded here and there ir
the final half hour and activity
picked up a bit. With scattered ex-
ceptions, variations were mostly In
fractions at the close but plus signs
predominated.
Transfers of $4,000 shares COM
pared with $4,000 last Saturday. Fol-
the five days the total was 5,119,842
shares against 6,972,66 in the pre-
ceding 6-day stretch.
AS throughout the week, the days
support was provided partly by re-
placement purchasing and bidding
based on hopes of a good rally by
the turn of the year. Tax adjust
ments persisted as brake, as did
pessimism over portal-to-portal wage
suits now well over the billion dollar
level. Falling prices for goods and
most commodities again inspired
some liquidation on the idea a de-
fiatlonary interlude was possible in
1947.
Average Up Slightly.
The Associated Press 60-stock COM
posite was up 2 of a point at 6S.2
but for the week showed a net de-
cline of IL points, first weekly dip
since the period ended Nov. %. Of
1886 issues registering, 449 rose, 1877
fell and 200 were unchanged.
"ThinnesS" of the market was eX-
emplified by a jump of 3A points at

phone, Anaconda, Consolidated Edi-
son, Westinghouse, International

2,0O0-share block, up 7s following a
granted rate boost for this company
but retreated when it was figured
the increase might not compensate
for payroll hoists and other costs
The stock emerged up Il at 22ls.

Among curb gamers were Ameri-
can Cyanamid, Electric Bond &

Turnover here was 10000 shares
versus 100000 a week ago.
The Big Board backed down Mon
day on 1,170,000 shares with the 4
weeks recovery inspiring profit
cashing. Further recessions domi-
mated dealings Tuesday on 950,000
shares as accounts were trimmed for
Christmas protection. The list suf-
fered an average loss of 8 of a point
Thursday, after the holiday, on an
aggregate of 1,150,000 shares. The
overall index was up a shade Fri
day due to strength of few blue
