Stock Market Gains
After Morning Luh,
|RaiI Issues Lead
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 13-Demand
for stocks revived today after a
morning showdown.
Buying interest in railroad
issues helped to haul the entire
market ahead. Gains ran to
around point at the outside.
Trading started with a rush Of
buying. evidently a carryover from
yesterday when the price level was
lifted to a new 13-month high.
The rise stalled almost immedi-
ately and a good many leaders
slowly settled into the minus
column.
New strength developed later
and many minus signs were
erased. Trading volume expanded
when prices advanced and turn
over hit close to the fastest clip
of the year.
While the rails were easy ia
vorite, steel and radio television
shares attracted more than aver
age buying. Radio stocks were the
backbone of Mondays market.
Superior Oil of California took
off on a tack of its own, rising
1917 points to 1853 and later ex-
tending the gain to 171a.
Also ahead were Nickel Plate,
Southern Pacific, Southern Rail-
way, Admiral Corp, Philco, Radio
Corp, United States Steel. Beth
lehem Steel. General Motors,
Chrysler. Montgomery Ward. Cat
erpillar Tractor. United Aircraft,
Consolidated Edison, Air Reduc-
ton, Dow Chemical, Du Pont,
Westinghouse Electric, American
Woolen, Gulf Oil, Eastern Air
Lines. Johns Manville and United
States Gypsum.
Among the balky spots were
Goodrich, Schenley. Dome Mines.
Allied Chemical, Union Carbide.
American Can, Texas Co. and
Lehigh Portland Cement.
Railroad issues improved in the
corporate bond market Long
term United States Government
bonds held firm In over-the-
