Selected Stocks Gain,
But Selling Lowers j.
Many Leaders
By Victor Eubonk
As,oeie..s Press fineneioI Write,

NEW YORK, July 2S.- Stocks
continued to advance on a selective
basis in today's market, although
enough selling appeared to shift
many leaders into the losing divi-
sion.
Buying still was based mainly on
imitation ideas and business optim-
ism. Mounting prices in steel and
other lines inspired some caution,
however, on the thought that a
boom-bust cycle might be under
way. A break in the London mar
ket was sobering influence. Ac-
counts also were reduced because
of the belief sizable technical cor
rection of the lengthy upswing
might not be far away.
Dealings slowed after a fairly fast
opening and quotations were we'll
mixed near the fourth hour. Motors,
oils and special issues exhibited
quiet strength. ..
New 1947 tops were touched by
Virginia Carolina Chemical pre-
ferred, following generous pay
ment against dividend accumula- :
tions; Skelly Oil. Texas Co. and
International Silver.
Ahead were White Motors, Gen.
eral Motors. Allied Chemical, United
States Steel, Republic Steel, Mont
gomery Ward, American Telephone,
American Smelling, Phelps Dodge

Mrs. E. H. Shaddock was the
gracious hostess to a lovely informal
New Years tea for the members OF
the B. G. Humphreys Chapter
Daughters of the American Revo-
luton of which she is Regent, on
Monday, December 30th.
The afternoon was resplendent
with brilliant sunshine and a MP
ping wintry air, f%orerunner OF the
freezing blizzard which followed.
The cold touch of winter was for
gotten in the warmth of the hand
some hall and rooms, flowers-laden
with fragrance Of narcissus, minia-
ture magnolias and other sweet
smelling flowers, arranged in bowls
and vases in the %sunparlor, hall and
dining room.
After roll call, Mrs. w. P. Lewis
as chaplain, protein, read the Ritual,
leading the members in the Alleg-
lance to the Flag, and prayer. The
Regent had a long list of letters to
read and answered. Also a sizeable
list of announcements by candidates
for the various state offices. Dele
gates to the National Conference to
be held in Washington in May e
selected. The delegate elected was,
Mrs. Sarah Jane Billingley, Mrs.
Joel of Washington and her sister,

dollars was collected for Ellis Island
inmates. The sum TO purchase wool
and knitting materials for inmates
of this island who are delayed in
making their clearance papers to
enter this country.
Work along this line gives the oc-
cupants something to do and fills
the time pleasantly and profitably,
until the immigration papers are
ready for acceptance.
Mrs. Shaddock served an appetlZ-
ing salady, snow flakes, sailed nuts,
fruit cake and hot tea for a re-
freshing hour.
After happy moments spent in en-
joying the exquisite flowers, chap
