Stock Market
.Steadies After
Sinking Spell

NEW YORK, May Is (R.-
The stock market suffered a mid
morning sinking spell today, but
|by early afternoon it had worked
up a little from its lows.
Widespread selling was a con-
Itinuation of the decline that yes
iterday set the market back SUBJ
stantially.
Yesterdays drop came as the
Russians announced plans for a
cut in their military establish
|ment.
The decline continued today
at the opening but prices steadied
themselves quickly. In the Sec
ond hour a wave of offerings hit
the tape and forced slight lag
for a few minutes until the con-
gestion cleared. Prices at the
worst were of to S points.
BY early afternoon, however
the loss was / to 3 points in
many major divisions with only
a few exceeding that range.
Corporate bonds were lower
United States Governments were
higher.

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Economy of OpuIence'
~ SYLVIA PORTER

The number of houses built
so far this year is well under
the number built last year, and
if mortgage money continues
hard to get, the decline in home
construction could intensity.
BUT. But the houses being
built in 1856 are bigger and more
expensive than the houses built
in 1955-with the result that the
total amount of money being
spent on new houses is down
only a meager sum.
The automobile industry is in
trouble, layoffs have hit a dis
turbing 10 per cent of the indus
try's work force. car dealers are
in a real pinch and this unques-
tionably is one Of our economy's
weak spots.
BUT. But the car makers and
dealers suffering the least are
those selling the de luxe models,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-05-15

such as Cadillac and Lincoln.
The car which has enjoyed the
swifftest rise in popularity in
recent years has been the costly
station wagon. Against a back
ground for declining output of
regular passenger cars, auto
makers have scheduled a record
output for 1856 of splashy sta
ton wagons-and some are SO
luxurious it's an insult to iden-
tify them as utility" wagons.
Department store sales are
running neck-ahd-neck with
1855 and the number of articles
sold by department stores actu-
ally has remained virtually
stationery since l947.
BUT. But the average sales
check for a single article sold
in department stores is now ap-
preaching or perhaps exceeding
$4.75, as compared with an aver
age of $4.5l in 1854. And this is
so despite the fact that most
clothing prices have either been
steady or dropped and despite
the fact that many depart
ment stores are no longer carry
ing such big ticket" items as
TV, refrigerators, washing ma
chimes, etc.
What does all this-and the
above are just samples of SEEM
ing conflicts-reflect? What does
it mean?
One of the great, vital things
it reflects is that you and ].
Americas consumers, are trad
ing up"
You and I, the millions of
Americans who now make up
the most middle-class society
the world has ever known are
accepting as necessities what
even our older brothers and sis
tiers envied as Injuries.
That's why the houses being
built in 1856 are more luxurious
and the cars selling best in
1865 auto slump are the de
luxe models. Instead of just
seeking a roof over our heads.
we're demanding a better and
better roof. Instead of just look
ing for a car that will run well
and stand up. we're demanding
style, color, fancy equipment.
That's why the average de-
partment store salescheck has
increased so significantly. In
stead of buying the 1898 petit
coat. for instance, you're buying
the SIS number Instead of bar
gain hunting in the basement,
you're shopping the whole store.
