NEW 4OTtrA, Oct. l-NJ@I
Professionals in today's stock
market remained more or less
bullish. but inclined to caution
and, while assorted favorites
continued to press forward,
many leaders were thrown for
losses.
Brokers reported that the
of their clients con-
tinued to stand aside or trim
commitments here and there
pending more light on inter-
national affairs, particularly
the Russian rift, and the econo-
mic outlook at home. The adj
ministation,s "eat less" CAM
paign left the market cold al
though expectations Of big gov
eminent spending for European
relief inspired a certain amount
of bidding. Thought of a techni-
cal correction after the length
upswing was a restraining fac
tor.
Dealings tapered in the wake
Of a fairly active opening. Prices
improved around midday and in
the final hour on a selective
basis but numerous pivotals
failed to revive. =.
There were a few wide jump
ers although fractional varia-
tons ruled. Transfers of $50, 600
