Stocks al 1949 High
After 4-Day Climb;
Experts Surprised
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 1s.-The
stock market took of on a four
day advance this week which left
q good many Wall Street experts
with red faces.
At the week end the general
price level equaled the 1949 high
first hit on November 2.
In four days the market value
Of all stocks listed on the exchange
increased by nearly $4,000. .000, 900.
Many individual stocks sold at the
highest prices in one to three
years.
A bull market that had been
diagnosed as spawned and sway
backed appeared to be back on its
feet and rearing to go.
Rails Join Parade.
Even railroad stocks. which
have been tagging behind rising
market for months, joined the
parade in timid fashion.
Automobile issues stole the
show. Chrysler moved ahead in
leaps and bounds. closing 3A
points higher on the week at 59A
after a appoint slip on Saturday.
General Motors lost "a point at
661a, but this was after deduction
OF a $425 dividend. Studebaker
gained 70 at 27A.
A number of factors contributed
to the ballooning demand for the
motors. First of all, leading auto
producers have reported record
high earnings. General Motors
directors were the first to tap their
profits when they voted a $4.25
year-end dividend.
Chrysler directors are scheduled
to meet December / and it was
widely anticipated that they would
have q Christmas present for
stockholders. The Studebaker
board, too, was expected to be
generous when 1t meets soon.

Leaned to Pessimism.
Up to midweek the prognosis TO,
the market had leaned distinctly
to the side Of pessimism. Since
early this month prices have beer
quietly drifting downward and
many brokers figured that the
drift would develop into a slide
before the new year.
For one thing, they argued. the
market has advanced without
serious interruption since mid
June, and profit-taking sales
would inevitably develop into
heavy drag on the market. Profit
taking has appeared, and in sub
stantial volume. but thus far has
been nicely absorbed.
In addition, numerous traders
usually increase their selling at
the year end to establish tax
losses. It is still a little early for
tax selling. but the question has
been raised whether, in view OF the
price level to which the market
has advanced, 1t will amount to
much this year.

Creation of a Far Eastern defen-

The United States has taken the
same line-as evidenced by its par

countries to write a North Atlantic
defense pact.
This thinking was, perhaps, the
chief reason behind the British
