New York, July 24. (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. Liquidation
prompted by tho news from Ber
lin, plus Tokyo's disclosure of
the ouster of Premier Tojo and
fall of his cabinet, last week

and they would stay in Elkhart
indefinitely.
