Railroad Stocks Lead
SeIective Recovery
In Quiet Market
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press FinanciaI Writ,

>
NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Selected
rails negotiated good recoveries in
today's stock market while many
leaders elsewhere continued slightly
depressed.
Some buying eventuated on the
idea the list may have been oversold
in recent sessions. The darkening
strike situation still was handicap
to speculative and investment par
tieipation. The Presidents broad
cast failed to provide any real price
stimulation.
Irregularly lower tendencies pre-
vailed at the start. Support then ar
rived for the carriers, scattered in
dustrials and utilities. Bidding was
notably tirnid, though, and dealings
slowed appreciably after a fairly
active opening. Gains of fractions
to point or better were we'll dis
tributed near the fourth hour.

Bankers Hit Housing Bill.
Instead of assisting veterans to
obtain homes, the Wagner Ellender-
Taft bill S-1592, General Housing
Act of 1945 pending in the United
States Senate, actually would create
more competition for housing than
already exists by making credit
available to every one on more lib
eral terms than ever before, accord
ing to the American Bankers Asso-
ciation, which has voiced opposition
of organized banking to passage OF
the measure.
Although the bill states that one
of its purposes is ito remedy the
serious cumulative housing short
age" "it actually proposes nothing
that will in any way alleviate the
present critical housing emergency"
the report says. "Tt only provides
additional credit in market al
ready oversupplied."
Regular Deposits Climb.
Capital bankers said today that
money left on deposit in the banks
since the Victory Loan drive and
not yet needed by the Treasury, was
a vital factor in the huge gain in
deposits in the last half of 1945.
They added, however. that in
creases in regular deposits" were
the biggest reason for the mounting
figures. Nearly all the banks in the
city now have the highest deposits
on record. They report that there
still is great deal of money in
the banks awaiting favorable. op-
portunities for investment.
