Stocks Lower
In 4fh Week
OF Reaction
BY RAIDER WINGET
Associated Press Financial writer

Ae-ASNe@rNS "~~-~~N-s~e
NEW YORK, Aug. 20 R-
The stock market went through
hts fourth week Of reaction In Q
lponderous manner.
Price movements were slug
Igish and sometimes confusing
when an attempt was made to
relate them to a coherent pat
tern.
The Associated Press average
lof so STOCKS was down 80 cents
lon the week and closed at
I$i71.30.
It was early in July that the
average at SIT signaled q rec
lord peak In market prices. Right
after that the present reaction
started. For the past two weeks
lit has been a slow motion affair.
This has led some Wall street
analysts to conclude that the
market quite possibly is getting
ready for q rally. They feel that
Ia rally could start from present
levels II the market continues
quietly to consolidate its posi-
Ition. However, others think that
the market will have to sell Of
lin a test of its previous low
point before it will be ready for q
rally of any consequence.
In the past. such rallies or tests
of the lows preceding q rally have
been accompanied by heavy
volume. Business this week came
to . daily average Of 1,454,000
shares. lowest since early In jan
Iuary Of 1854. The daily average
$50 far this year Is around 81
million shares. In view Of this
condition. Wall Street is watch
ing volume indications with a
wary eye.
The five most active issues this
week on the New York Stock Ex-
change were: Rhodesian Selec-
tion Trust up " at 6s4 on 127.-
900 shares. American Telephone
on 2 at 1917, ACF Brill UP 33s

up right-of-way appearance and
to prevent loss Of locomotive
traction.
The Boyle company plans to
increase It's feet Of 81 tank cars
and five equipment cars. Future
expansion Of the Alexandria
plant was recently enabled by
the acquisition Of new property.
