Wall Street New York (U.R) The 450 lev el proved a difficult one for the stock market to hurdle. It came within 14 cents of it yesterday and today backed away a bit on reduced volume. . The 450 level means that fig ure for the industrial average. It isn't the price of stocks, nor is it the average price, but it is a fig ure which measures the market over the long term, adjusted for stock splits, stock dividend and the like. It was 381.17 at the bull market high in 1929. It is an all-time record high for industrial shares. Having risen in 16 out of 18 sessions the industrials were entitled to a set back, said the experts. But the decline was a small one, and it ceme without pressure on any particular issue. Also the mar ket rallied substantially from the lowest of the day.
