Rails Move Forward,
Give Rest Of Market
Slightly Firmer Tone
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Advanc-
ing railroads provided just about
all of the interest today in a
slightly higher stock market.
Some rails added between / and
2 points while the rest were frac-
tionally higher or lower. On bal
|ance the carrier group was up.
The remainder of the stock
market swung narrowly and much
of the time aimlessly.
A rundown of major divisions
showed this:
Steels lower, motors steady, rub
berS higher, radio-television high
Ter, utilities higher, nonferrous
metals steady, chemicals steady,
oils mixed, air lines mixed, build
ing materials unchanged to
higher.
Some Wall Street sources pinned
the blame for cautious inaction
on the new Communist activity in
Moscow highlighted by a call for
"a party conference in October.
Among higher stocks were Sea-
board Railroad, Baltimore & Ohio.
Southern Pacific, Westinghouse
Electric. American Telephone,
Goodyear and Philco.
Lower were Southern Railway.
Dome Mines. Youngstown Sheet &
Tube, International Harvester and
National Distillers.
Corporate bonds were steady.
Governments declined slightly.

ing the wassail bowl began as
strictly a New Years eve affair,

liquor began to make the rounds
