Peebles, Once Salem Boy Named Trade Commissioner, Australia NEW YORK. Feb. IS (AP) The stock market turned emphati cally downward today, closing a- weekof rather laborious maneuv ering toward higher levels. A technical reaction had bees re garded as overdue In several quarters, and week end profit tak ing was heavy. The day's decline, running from 2 to 8 points in more than a score of leading shares, reduced the price index of 90 leading stocks to approximately the lev el of a week ago. The bullish op erations of the week, however, have been highly selective, and a considerable group of leading Shares, Including several leading utilities and industrials, closed the week with large net gains. The downturn was In the face of the most cheerful week end in dustrial and trade reviews In sev eral weeks. The majority of ac tive traders appeared to . feel, however, that the recovery of business had been amply dis counted for the moment in the al most steady stock market ad vances of the past few weeks. It was particularly notable that im provement in retail and wholesale trade was mentioned In the re views for the first time in weeks, although the betterment was ac knowledged to be slight. Reports from the steel Industry were somewhat more confident. While it was felt early in the month that the sharp increase in Ingot promotion during the last half of January was probably due to a rush to replace stocks, and that February might see a slight decline in activity, trade reports now indicate that orders are keeping pace with output, and it Is felt that a gradual acceleration may be looked for until the spring peak is reached.
