Rails, Specialties
Pace Stocks Highei
New York (U.R) Rails and
specialty issues paced stocks
higher for the third straight ses
sion today, but the advance
lacked the spark of traditional
year end rallies.
There were a number of piv
otal stocks off a point or more,
partly reflecting selling for tax
purposes.
Steels made a good showing.
So did selected oils. Rails as a
group were strong. Metals gen
erally favored the downside.
Motors did little.
Bethlehem at its high was up
more than a point and at a new
high. Lukens, U.S. Steel, Youngs
town and Crucible improved, the
last hitting a new high.

stocks:

Northeastern Ohio
Swept by Snowfall
By UNITED PRESS
A two-to-four-inch snowfall
swept Northeastern Ohio today,

fair weather.
Scattered snow flurries occur

are expected to turn the snow
into slush.
Fog ovprspread Oregon and
southern Washington and pushed
into the valleys of northern
Idaho.
