New York OJ.R) Mild irre
gularity developed in the stock
market today after four sessions
of advance had lifted it to a new
quarter century high.
Industrial issues were sus
tained at a new top for all time
on strength in some issues and
firming tendencies in the oils,
steels and motors. Chemicals
rallied after Du Pont had de
clined more than a point.
