Stocks Stage
Sharp Rally,
Then Recede

NEW YORK (AP).-The
stock market staged a sharp
rally as news came of another
postponement Of q threatened
rail strike but gains were cut
early this afternoon as trading
slowed.
Stocks surged ahead in a
wave of heavy trading at the
start when the ticker tape ran
late. First-hour volume ex-
ceeded a million shares for the
first time in a week.
Gains were trimmed as the
initial burst of enthusiasm
waned, but the market re-
manned well ahead.
The ability of the market to
cut short a Today losing
streak yesterday and recover
slightly was the foundation for
this advance, brokers said, and
they regarded the rise as
mainly technical.
Chrysler, which had been up
as much as ia in advance of
its earnings report. cut the
gain to a fraction. Although
its profits. as expected, were
greater, the rise in quarterly
earnings over a year ago was
described as disappointing to
analysts.

Exchange moved generally
