Profit-Cashing Puts
Brakes on Stock Rally
After Lively Week
By T. E. AppIegote
Assoeiofsd Press Finance Editor


NEW YORK, April 24.-The stocl
market fattened its spring rally thi'
week on a rich diet of bullish news
In the liveliest sustained trading
in 10 months-ever since the post.
Labor Day collapse in 1946-share
values pushed to new highs.
Although profit taking sales
slammed the brakes on leaders OF
the upswing and brought slight
setback today, the weeks gain was
the best since March 20.
These top developments fed in
vesting sentiment:
The Communist defeat in italian
elections relieved long-felt fears OF
a deteriorating foreign situation
Resumption of full-scale coal mining
following contempt penalties against
John L. Lewis and the miners
union encouraged domestic business
hopes. Rejection of steelworkers'
wage demands by United States
Steel led to expectation third
round wage-price spiral might be
averted. At the same time price
reductions by Big Steel" and by
Westinghouse Electric spurred be-
lief imitation can be halted and de-
mand for products maintained. A
third interim freight rate increase
doomed railroad stocks.
With all this stimulation, public
participation in the securities mar
ket expanded. Stock Exchange ia
cilities were given their severest
test since unionized financial en-
ployes started their still unsettled
strike four weeks ago.
Ticker Tape Gets Behind.
Three times during the week, the
quotation ticker fell behind actual
floor transactions as buying and
selling orders came in rush. Total
transfers of 10,544,750 shares were
the highest for any week since
September, 1916, and compared
with 7,378,310 last week.

blame to Clay.
Readers Of crime news in 1882
will recall the headlines and stories
in the dailies of May IL, telling
of the might of horror" Patricia
Potts, a Hollywood stenographer,
had been subjected to by Byrnes.
She testified that Byrnes took
her to Jack Johnson's Showboat
cabaret and then dragged her out
and took her to an unknown spot.
There she said he allowed seven
or eight Negro men who paid him
to have e relations with her. At
about z a. m. he took her home
with a broken nose, badly beaten
and bloody, and slammed her into
her mothers arms.
The prison inmate at that time
claimed first that he had caught
her with Negro companions; but
later confessed to some of the
charges. In confessing. however,
he implicated Clay. Clay was
freed after spending six month in
the county Jail.
