Stock prices surged to their highest levels of 1963, based on the popular market averages. The strong performance ended six weeks of "watching-and-waiting" as argument sput tered in Wall Street as to whether the market would break out of a narrow trading range to the upside or downside. Some prominent analysts pre dicted a sharp decline. Tues day, it looked as if they might turn out to be right.
