(U.R) The stock market ran into mild profit-taking late in today's ses sion after scoring early gains ranging to more than a point. During the final hour, prices were slightly below the day's best levels, with a few special ties sharply lower. Initial demand was attributed in Wall street to a realization of tho over-sold condition of the market as a result of the wild selling that struck securities last week following announcement of the attempted assassination of Adolf Hitler.
