Stock Market Holds
General Rally After
Early Hesifancy
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

NEW YORK. Sept. 2.-Stocks gen.
orally swung upward in today's mar
ket after considerable early hesi-
fancy.
Mild irregularity and slowdowns
followed a. fairly active opening.
Dealings quickened for an interval
In the third hour as steels, motors,
rails and assorted industrials pushed
forward Gains of fractions to q
point or more were well in the ma
jority near the fourth period al
though the pace slackened. d.
Short covering and investment
bidding again were predicated
mainly on hopes for a September
rally. The rush of veterans to cash
their terminal leave bonds revived
infiationary psychology and inspired
buying on the idea that business
would enjoy at least an intermediate
bulge. Doubts regarding the export
situation and confusing information
al affairs kept many customers on
the sidelines.
