rated stocks, buoyed by. . further
cheering battle news, returned to
favor in Tuesday's market and
many issues went into new high
ground for a year or longer with
gains of fractions to a point or
more.
The list edged forward at the
opening and, while profit cashing
trimmed advances here and there
in the final hour, ' improvement
was well maintained in most in-
steel, motors, oils, mail orders, (
amusements, air transports and
specialties were accorded the prin
cipal support.
. Bullish sentiment was bolstered
mainly by the Japanese evacua
tion of Gaudalcanal island and re
ports of further Russian successes.
The SER statement apparently re
pudiating plans of staff members
to place drastic restrictions on se
curities trading was helpful. Some
buyers reentered the market when
opinions were expressed that the
long-expected technical correc
tion might not eventuate because
the lengthy rise was due more to
Investment demand than specula-
tion. S , - , . ..
The Associated Press average
of 60 stocks was up .1 of a point
at 44.1 and - was just .1 under its
peak since July, 1941. Activity
of lowpriced issues, which ap
peared in sizable blocks, put the
day's volume , at 924,044 shares,
largest in a week, compared with
727,160 the day before.

instead of 7 a jo.
The "Pacific Limited'' also for
the east, will leave Portland at
9 a.m., instead of 10:30 ajn., with
