NEW YORK. April l2.-The
stock market stemmed a series
of declines this week and moved
ahead on average in the face Of
unfavorable flrst-quarter earn
ings reports and business news.
For this reason, market analysts
regarded the recovery as mainly
technical.
The Associated Press average
of so stocks advanced $l.80 to
$161.3O.
The rise by rails was ascribed
to technical reasons chiefly.
Every once in a while this bat
tered group comes to life and
stages a brave rally. Apparently
they were down low enough to
inspire a certain amount of
short covering. Wall Street
sources said. In addition. in
vestors saw chances Of better
revenue for freight hauling in
view of prospects for a bumper
harvest of winter wheat.

There Is nothing wrong with

What will spur people into
spending more in the stores?
What will encourage people
who are paying OF old debts at
q record pace to make down
payments on new purchases.
The questions are basic, the
answers crucial.
Unless and until consumers
start spending freely again.
business can't get back into a
sound upswing. The tendency
Of families from Coast TO Coast
to put a rising total Of money
into their nesteggs instead Of
into new houses. appliances.

the entire economy.
What will shift the trend?
In order Of their Importance.
three Developments, in my
opinion, will do 1t:
A return Of confidence that
the business recession Is being
halted. and that 1t won't spread
to them:
Introduction Of important
new products that will intrigue
our interest:
Price Cuts Vital
Price cuts on big items
that will appeal to the bargain
conscious housewife.
Other forces could buoy
consumer spending too. OF
course. but these. / believe. are
the primary ones. And neither
Of the last two will matter
much unless the first-revived
conndence-emerges.
Against q background Of
widespread business downturn
and the highest number Of
jobless in years, consider these
statistics on saving and debt
repayment:
In the first three months
of 1858 savings deposits in
commercial banks in the Ma
tons biggest cities were up
almost l6 per cent. more than
triple the increase in the same
period of 1857;
In the first two months
funds in savings banks and in
savings and loan associations
jumped to an all-time high
and savings banks alone now
have a peak total OF more than
$32 billion on deposit:
