NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-A1
abrupt about face in the stool

The railroads and oil stocks lee
the turn and the advance fed or
announcements from Washing

market itself.
Prices fell the first three days
and then staged a three-day ad-
vance. Today the Associated

20 cents at $100.4O, making the
net gain on the week so cents.
The average now stands only

3oyed buying vogue under the
assumption, baseless or not, that
they were subject to considera-
ton for a split simply because
their prices were high.

SteelS and motors, those vet
Ieran market leaders, were sadly
neglected all week. For example,
General Motors lost 70 on the
week and U. S. Steel 70. The steel
industry is under a strike threat
and is being hampered severely
by a scrap shortage. The auto
mobile industry is laborlng under
uncertainties over the crumb Of
critical materials it will get from
the defense table, and over real or
fancied consumer resistance to
higher and higher prices on new
cars.
Business this week expanded to
1890, 900 shares, the best since the
week ended October q.
The five most active stocks of
the week were Glenn Martin, off
IA at 117s; American Telephone
up p at 1557s; Radio Corp, up "a
at 24A; Chicago Corp, up 1A
at 17A, and Socony-Vacuum, up

SUNDAY JULY 1852
Week Sees Stock Market Hit
Highest Averages in 22 Years

of the CIO Steelworkers Union
Phil Murray.
They met and formally agreed
to end the steel strike after 53
days and a loss of an estimated $A
billion to the economy of the
country. The temporary delay in
executing the agreement due to
differences over the iron ore min
ing phase of the dispute was not
regarded as serious.
Thursdays market surged ahead
with a fairly wide participation OF
stocks, and a second new high
was established with the AS
sociated Press average of so stocks
at $l08.30, again the highest since
June 10, 1890.
Over night there were number
OF buying orders. But the Friday
opening quickly absorbed them
and turned down. The decline was
not large. AS a matter of fact the
AP average lost SO cents on Fri
day-the same it gained on Thurs
day. The fact that profit-taking
was covered so easily was con-
Sldered a bullish factor.
The week ended with the Ap
average up $1.40, the best gain
since the first week in June.
The five best gamers on the
week with net change and closing
price were Allegheny Corp. up u
at 312, Pennsylvania Railroad up
"a at 20A, U. S. Steel up "a at
4OA, American Telephone off "a
at 1885, and Tri-Continental
Corp. up 11s at 1874.
On the Curb Exchange the five
most active issues on the week
were North Canadian Oils off IA
at 2, Jupiter Oils up 5/16 at 35a,
Devon Leduc Oils, Ltd. up "a at
2 9/16. Pancoastal Oil up "a at

BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. July 26.-This wa:
the week the steel strike wa
settled and the Democrats selected
q man for the Presidency-anc
the stock market advanced.
It reached the highest point ir
more than % years as measured
by the Associated Press average
Of so stocks.
There was a tremendous un-
certainty all week, but the stock
market advanced day after day
until the final day.
Then it subsided moderately on
profit-taking after the steel strike
settlement.
The naming of the Democratic
nominee had no more to do with
the trend of the stock market than
the results of the Republican con-
