Also the purse strings he held.
Particularly when it came to ex
pense accounts.
O Once there was a reporter who
prowled tie acres of the world
and somehow always came up
minus $39.39 out of his own wal
let. This clown would sweat and
arlJ and subtract in the compo-',
ition of his expense account.
Oneday he woke up with a
, bright thought. On 'each vouch
; er he ould put down: "Type
' writer repair: $39.39."
"Mick" put up with this non-
T"'n for a goori long time and
finally his patience fled.
The reported was about to em
bark on a ra'tfhty mission, gear
packed and a.t. But. barring him
at the elevator at U.P. headquar-

So down he went to the cash

It didn't take him long to get

Combination Bear-Bull Market
Dominates 1956 on Lower Volume
BY ELMER C. WALZER
United Press Financial Editor
New York (U.R) President
Eisenhower's health, tight
money, and international news
swayed a highly irregular stock
market during 1956. On average
the market accomplished a lit
tle less than nothing.
As the brokers saw it, the mar
ket was neither bear nor bull,
but a combination of each.
It was a bear market for such
groups as the chemicals, televi
sions, tobaccos, rails, papers,
auto shares, communications, and
merchantiles.
It was a bull market for
sugars, steels, oils drugs, metals,
cements, road builders, ship
builders, oil equipments, mach
inery issues, coal issues, and na
tural gas companies.
It was a bit of bull and a bit
of bear for the electrical equip
ments, tires, aircrafts, buijding
equipments and utilities.
The blue chips in the Dow-
Jones average were as mixed as
the remainder of the market. Of
the 30 industrials in that aver
age, 15 rose and 15 fell; in rails
3 rose and 17 fell; in utilities 8
rose and 7 fell.
Volume Off From 1955
Trading fell under 1955 but
was above 1954. Daily volume
averaged around 2,200,000
shares.
The market appeared to have
a floor in the 458-464 area. Each
time it came into that area
there were five such periods
support developed and prices
rose.
Brokers still consider the mar
ket as a whole a bull market,
the same bull market that start
ed on June 13, 1949. They aren't
expecting any wide gains or any
wide declines in 1957. They ap
pear to be content on a predic
tion of a consolidating market,

carrying over into 1958 on a
strong note.
Money is expected to remain j
tight for a long time. Up to now ;
this situation has brought bond j
prices down and yeilds up, thus i
making bonds more attractive
than stocks. But investors were
not dumping their stock holdings
and no wholesale liquidation
was foreseen.
Record Set On April 6 I
The market in 1956 made its :
low in Dow-Jones industrials on j
Jan. 23 at 462.35 and its high j
in that average on April 6 at
521.05, the all-time high. Rails !
made their low on Nov. 29 at j
150.44 and their high on May
9 at 181.23, the best since Sept. !
21, 1929. Utilities hit their top .
on Aug. 7 at 71.17 and their low
at 63.03 on Jan. 23.
Additions to the board include j
such famous family held com-1
panies as Ford and Campbell's
Soup. Ford was offered to the i
public at S64.50 a share, ran
up to S71 in the over-the counter j
market and ranged between a ,
high of $63.38 and a low of
S51.63 after listing on March 7. i
During the year nearly 100
listed issues split stock, about i
half of them on a two-for-one '
basis.
The market was swayed by
such international items as
seizure of the Suez canal by the
Egyptians, invasion of Egypt by '
Britain, France and Isael, a Po-;
lish revolution, riots in Hung-:
ary, difficulties in Syria, Cyprus
j and Algiers but never lost its
poise.
It went through a steel strike
with steel shares rising to new ;
highs. It didn't ignore tight j
money, but the overall effect
of that phenomenon had only
passing influence. Late in the
year, the air cleared and the
list made its tratitional year-
end advance.
