Stock Prices Advance
Two Points or More
In 7 Buying Surges
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. "a double
rally in the stock market today
put prices up by fractions to more
than 2 points.
A fast opening added as much
as a point to leaders before the
pace of trading slowed down and
prices leveled of.
They held at their best until
fresh surge of buying boosted
them still higher a little later.
Steels, motors and rails were
the most active of the major
groups and showed the best gains.
But fractional advances were
numerous throughout other Sec
lions of the list with only a few
setbacks here and there. RADIO
television stocks were generally
higher.
The upsWing was a continuation
of trends on Friday when the
market turned up sharply to the
highest point in about four
months. 1t now stands only a
shade below the 1949 high.
Volume of trading was heavy
compared with recent days, and
numerous large blocks of stocks
changed hands at the opening
Commonwealth & Southern con-
tinued to be bought and sold at
the opening in large packages at
it's top price for the year, thus
adding considerable to the total
volume of business.

newspapers throughout the world

the ship sailed. and identify the

In world that has been af-

years. reports Of troop movements
have become routine and perhaps
can be dismissed in a few lines
of type.
But to the perspiring, mosquito
swatting British Tommies and
their officers, who are living in SUM-
baked and often -drenched
tents and huts in the rugged back
hills of the new territories that
are part of the colony of Hong
Kong, life is anything but routine.
Constantly Fearful of Attack.
Their perpetual war of nerves
is specializing Whether-after the
expected fall of nearby Canton
they are to be attacked by a
poWer-hungry enemy that may
decide on external adventure as
an escape from internal pres
sures, or whether they must sweat
out long years of armed readiness
while the Chinese Communists
merely test their muscles, make
faces and keep Hong Kong in a
state OF constant tension.
Unless there is some radical
change shortly in the military
situation in this area, the Hong
Kong garrison Is scheduled to
total approximately 10000 men
