Transfers totalled 477,- 610 shares against 460,480 yester day. The Associated Press arerage of 60 stocks was up .1 of a point at 47.6. The list started with slipping tendencies. 'A f air-sixed upward flurry lifted prices to top marks after midday. Quotations, howerer. receded from the best near the close. There also was an assort ment of small minus signs in evi dence. The come-back, brokers said, was based mainly on continuance of optimistic business prospects and the belief of some that, while shares responded only feebly, to Tharid ay's administration an nouncement of a new lending pro gram, the spreading out of govern ment funds on a so-called self-liquidating basis would eventually prime a number of industries. Helpful was the news the long awaited tax revision bill had passed both houses and now await ed the president's signature. Vashrooms Cultivated. 1 Ib S0-S5e.
