North American Newspaper AIIianes


NEW YORK, May 22.-Consider-
ing the advance in points and per-
centages that industrial and rail-
road stocks had made In the past
two months, the price reaction in
the first half of this week was un-
important. It did not alter the con-
viction of professional traders and
customers of Wall Streets commits.
sion houses that the peak of the
spring market had yet to be
reached.
Wednesdays market was less than
half the size of the preceding FRI
days, and the net change for the
session was insignificant. This gave
the signal to market leaders to re-
sumo their operations, which they
did, but in a more cautious manner.
The market broadened out con-
siderably, with the stocks that
have been popular with the public
for some time maintaining their
rank. Buyers are looking for in
come return as well as opportunity
for capital appreciation. The low
cred federal taxes have released
considerable sums, which those in
the high-income brackets are be-
ginning to put to work in the
market.
A sustaining influence in the sit
uation during its bear phase was
the high return on shares with
semi-investment character. 1t con-
tinues to fashion the policy Of
many individuals and of corpora
tions permitted to hold equities"
Both groups feel that the business
outlook here and abroad Is more
favorable than at the turn of the
year, and that 1t will be strength
ened by the results Of the Phila-
delphia convention next month and
by decisions in the United Nations,
before the November elections.
THESE decisions will lessen political
tensions between the United States
and Soviet Russia that have un-
settled the minds Of investors dur
ing recent months.
The psychological effect on the
investing public of few booming
stock market sessions has been to
restore confidence This does not
mean that all ills have been cured
or that there will not be relapses.
However, the patient definitely is
stronger than for some time.
