PAGE PTVE Selected Stocks Move to Higher Levels on Fall Business Outlook Possibility of Delay to Next Session for Wage-Hour Bill Also Contributes to " Strength in Market th week preceding; the general aver age, however, was higher by one to three percent," the eurvey said. " Response to August promotions. some of which featured merchandise under replacement values, provided the major contribution to the mod erate Increase In retail distribution this wee. "Apparel with which to combat the heat was In demand, while knit goods, sportswear, and vacation ac cessories continued to sell well. "Most of the principal centers. however, were well occupied with re placement requests for current pro motions and belated orders for mer chandise for early September selling." NEW YORK, Aug. 13. (AP) Selected stocks swung into another and faster recovery move today with many market leaders pushing up fractions to 3 or more points. Steels, although getting a late start, were well out' In front at the finish. Aviations and specialties were the early leaders. Rails and chemi cals exhibited strength, along with several farm implements. The outlook for fall business was still the prime motivator, brokers said, in addition, sentiment was buoyed by possibility the controver sial wage-hour bill may go over the next session of congress. Continued confusion In the na tional legislative program, however, was thought to have restrained some buying forces. The Slno-Japanese war flare-up at Shanghai, with a chance other nations may become Involved, also was seen as a retarding Influence. There was some profit selling be fore the close and oils, utilities and coppers made headway slowly. Volume picked up on the advance. t r a n s f ers approximating 1,000,000 shares.
