Stocks Race Upward
Despite News Usually
Regarded as Adverse
By Roder Wjnqet
Associated Press FinancioI Writer

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-In the
midst of crippling strikes, tighter
economic controls and demands
for higher taxes, the stock mar
ket this week raced higher at a
speed not exceeded in more than
II years.
Today's short tWo-hour market
established another new high
average price level for 1950-51
that hasn't been topped in more
than 20 years.
Why did stock prices keep 60
ing higher in the face of what
ordinarily is considered adverse
news?
Wall Street had a single an
swer-inf1ation
Here is the record of market
action. Today the Associated
Press average of so stocks ad-
vanced 40 cents to $96.30, the
highest point since September "a,
1880. New high marks for 1950-51
were established five times out of
six this week.
Net Gain of $3.50.
The net gain this week in the
AP average was $3.50 and it was
the ninth straight week that the
market had advanced.
That squirt was equalled during
the week ended July % when the
stock market was recovering from
the terrific slump suffered at the
outbreak of the Korean war. That
week war industry was cranking
up for the big fight.
But to find a week exceeding
that $3.50 gain, one must go back
to the week ended September 8,
1889, when the market rebounded
$4.l0 after the start of World
War II in Europe.
Here is the way Wall Street OBJ
servers see the weeks story of in
f1ation which has exerted so much
pressure for higher stock prices:
The freeze of prices at their
highest level assures high profits.
Rollbacks so far have had no
market impact. The rollback If
scrap steel and iron was an
nounced just as the market closed
today.
But at the same time there have
been number of price increases
in such basic commodities as coal
and foods.
Wages Thaw Out.
The wage freeze, which econo-
mists counted on to hold down
the amount of inflationary spend
ing money, was thaWed out for
such big groups as coal miners
and also in such classifcations as
merit raises.
The Presidents request for an
immediate $40 billion in new taxes
met with no surprise in Wall
Street, and there was some doubt
just how vigorously and how far
the demands could be pushed into
law through congressional action.
One of the biggest boosts to IN
fationary thinking was given by
the White House announcement
that Federal Reserve Board had
agreed to maintain the stability
of Government securities" during
the emergency. interpretations of
that statement varied widely, but
basically it meant that interest
rates on Government securities
would be maintained at or about
present levels. And such a low
interest rate structure, one COM
ment concluded. is not def1ation-
ary.

DETROIT. July 13.-The Mats
are losing a flock of games by one
run. and chiefly responsible for
these close defeats is one of the
most feeble group of reserves ever
placed at a major league man
ayers disposal. When Bucky
Harris has to look to his bench
for help, he's hamstrung. So his
club has dropped IA of the 81
games decided by one run. 1t was
glaringly evident yesterday as the
Mats dropped a 5-4 decision to the
Tigers here before a smattering
of 4,655 customers that when the
Mats most need aid. there's no
body around to assist.
With the lineup he employed
yesterday, which in itself isn't
packed with talent, Bucky could
glance down his bench and
glimpse an a1ling Mike McCor-
mick. Then he could shift a des-
peration peek at such sluggers as
Gene Verble. batting .216; Pete
Runnels, 1856; Sherry Robertson,
$50; Mike Guerra, 1876. and
Mickey Grasso, .209.
Some Additional Woes.
1t is enough to give a manager
"a deep sense of Illustration and
enough, too, to handcuff him.
Bucky is having considerable diff
ficulty with his starting lineup
without fretting about lack of
talent on the bench. for Sam Mele
has batted only $50 in his last II
games, and should Cass Michaels
obtain a hit his first time up
tonight, it will be his first in l6
attempts.
Gil Coan is burning up the
league. but his spectacular splurge
hasn't become contagious. Gil
hit safely in his 18th straight
game and with his three singles
lifted his average to .331. A fine
diving stab by George Kell. De-
troit third baseman, deprived
Coan of a fourth hit and put d
chill on what promised to be a
big seventh inning for the Mats.
Washington scored three runs
in that session without benefit of
a hit. Bob Cain, coasting along
with SO five-hitter, suddenly
lost control to walk Michaels. Sam
Dente and Clyde Kauttz, success
