Down After Rising
For 5 Days in Row
Nv the Associated Press

NEW YORK, July IA five
day running advance came to
an end in todays stock market.
In early trading it seemed
likely that the market was head
ing for another rise. Numerous
stocks moved up fractionally in
brisk dealings. Before the first
hour of business was ended,
though, prices started to back
down.
The reversal in trend followed
a declaration by President Tru-
man that he was bullish about the
economic situation.
The market found at least a
temporary bottom after prices de-
clined fractions to around point.
Business was faster than usual.
Today's decline followed an ad-
vance which carried the general
price level to a six-week high
yesterday. A rally has been un-
der way since the marked cracked
to a 4l2-year low on June 13.
