Assoeiuied Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Mar. 27.-The
stock market gave a basic dis
play of strength this week in
weathering a major selling test.
This may not be the end of
the selling pressure, but the list
met its most severe test of the
year with proof that it has the
ability to bounce back.
On Monday the market was
at the peak of the year. 1t was
pounded down severely in the
next three days. On the final
day it rallied and recovered
about 80 per cent of the weeks
average loss.
Primarily. the setback was a
technical affair. The market had
been advancing for some time
and was hesitating at the top
of its climb, the best levels on
average in the past "a years.
