By Victor Eubonk
Associated Press Financial Writer


NEW YORK. Aug. 21.-Individual
stocks made fair amount of head
way in today's market while many
leaders continued to doze in lower
territory.
From the start dealings were
about as slow as in the preceding
session. Quotations generally at
tanned their best marks In the fore
noon. Gains Of fractions to a point
or more-a few thin" issues ex-
ecuted broader jumps-eventually
were reduced or converted into
losses. Considerable irregularity pre-
vailed near the close. Transfers ran
to around 100000 shares.
In the resistant division were
