P- The Eveninf Sun's financial review today aaid : . Not a great deal' was accomplished in today's stock market There was still more or less nervous depression over the recent bomb outrage. The Jewish holidays were a factor in limiting; In itiative also. Altogether the session continued .a performance which did not lead anywhere In particular, although there were not backing strong; spots and weak spots. The opening was irreg ular, the principal feature being strength m tobacco issues. That strength waain the main neutralized in a short time. After the first fifteen minutes or. so the entire list stiffened after a fashion. Weakness in the oil group, however, eas ily traceable to taking of profits, un settled the market, again. The rails presented the firmest front through the session, with particular strength in most of the minor issues.
