The speaker Of the House was
skittish when Bill Lantaff first
suggested the establishment of

He thought that California and

Stock Prices Record
Years Widest Gains
In Week S Trading
By Roder Winget
Asseeiaied Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK. April IA strong
recovery movement in the stock
market this week sent prices
shooting upward in one of the
widest gains of the year.
In three days the market re-
traced almost all the losses of the
last four weeks.
Today it tipped down slightly in
an extremely quiet session. The
Associated Press average of 60
stocks lost only 10 cents at $94.20.
Eight weeks ago the stock mar
ket stood at $96.90, the peak for
this year and the highest point
reached in more than 20 years.
From then on it slid away in q
series Of tumbles and recoverieS.
Hit Bottom Tuesday.
Last Tuesday it hit bottom, and
in the next three sessions prices
on average came within a dime of
retracing exactly half of all the
ground lost since the 20-year peak
of February 10.
This weeks market action was
impressive. 1t was by far the best
since the fall started. 1t was ex-
ceeded only twice this year, both
times when spectacular advances
were being staged as the market
was nearing its crest.
The reason for the upturn, most
brokers contended, was purely
psychological. Certainly there was
no outstanding news to change
the markets course. Most essen
tialnear-term factors remain the
same, and the long-term outlook
is very much as it has been in
recent weeks.
Railroads perhaps hold the psy-
Geological secret for market action.
In any event, traders have been
watching the rails carefully under
the general theory-as the rails
60, so goes the market.
Railroads Rally.
When rails weakened Monday
so did the market. Prices slipped
o little lower the next day.
But the railroads came to life

Department Sales Dip.
1t was only natural for Wash
ington department stores to ex-
perience a slump in sales the
week after heavy Easter shopping.
The 27 per cent dip for the week
ending March 81, however, was
more of a decline than some had
anticipated. But it was explained
satisfactorily by the Federal Re
serve Bank of Richmond. It was
mot exactly comparable" the
bank said, since Easter in 1850
came in April, and shoppers were
still preparing for 1t in late March
Iof that year.
For the four week period, de-
Ipartment store sales were per
cent above the same period in
1850. In Baltimore they were 4
per cent above. that one point adj
vantage having also been re-
Iaected in the week ending March
81.
The same proportionate slump
was experienced throughout the
Fifth Reserve District, the sales
percentages having been exactly
the same as reported in WASH
