Moderate Stock Price Decline Is Considered 'Brief Reaction' Elmer Walzer By ELMER C. WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York - (UPD - Stocks during the past week suffer ed a moderate decline, their first since the week ended Oct. 24. The decline came after the market had again risen to an all-time record high on Monday. That record saw S8 billion added to the value of all listed shares in the nine sessions since election. Hence the small erosion of the week was taken lightly in trading circles which held that the market was entitled to a brief reaction during which it could consolidate its forces for another drive to new tops. The experts are admittedly high, the market at the cur rent levels shows no signs of real impairment. The big holders are not selling and the little fellows continue to speculate. The net result of a wide movement in prices was as follows at the week-end; in dustrial average 559.57 off 5.11 points; railroad 154.99 up 0.29; utility 86.81 off 0.07; and 6o stocks 194.59 off 1.01 Sales averaged 4,145,000 shares daily, against 4,158,000 shares Idaily in the previous week. The market declined on Tuesday and Friday, the lat ter being a rather severe set back amounting to 6.67 points iri the industrial average. The Tuesday decline was only 2.55 points. It was a week marked by several interesting news de velopments. The most inter esting was a court decision banning the proposed S3 bil lion merger of Bethlehem Steel and Youngstown Sheet & .Tube. That hit the market on Thursday when a rise was in progress. It hurt steels and spilled over into other sec tions. The market had been buoy ed up by a proposal of merger by Norfolk & Western and Virginian Railway, two coal carrying railroads with com bined assets of $940,000,000. When the Bethlehem case was announced, the traders turn ed to selling the merger rajls. Norfolk was driven down sharply. It made a small re coery on Friday. The stock exchange an nounced the short interest as of Nov. 14 at 4,890,991 shares, a decline of 149,931. Wall Street had anticipated a de cline much larger than the one reported and hence the figure was seen as not unfa vorable. There were many favorable developments in the week of higher dividends and stock splits. Eastman Kodak had a fa vorable dividend action but the stock broke because the street was disappointed over the company's failure to split the stock. American Tele phone declared the regular dividended and gave no thought to a higher rate or to a spit as had been ru mored recently. Splits Announced Stock splits announced in cluded Johnson & Johnson, Pet Milk, Duquesne Light, and Chas. Pfiszer. Favorable div idend actions were taken by Work of Marriage Counselling Service Reviewed by Group Dr. narry Damelson, psy chiatrist, reported on the work of the temporary marriage counselling service set up un der the sponsorship of the Jackson County Mental Health committee at the com mittee's meeting Thursday. He said that inquiries and referrals continue 4o come asking for the services at near the rate the counsellors can well handle. Inquiries . are made through the Child Guid ance Clinic at SPring 3-3174. Dr. Danielson pointed out that this volunteer marriage counselling service is purpose ly limiting its field of services so as to be more sure of ac complishing something in the short demonstration period. One Limiiaiion One limitation that has been imposed is that counsel ling will only be given when both marriage partners are willing to come for the initial interview. Some couples have felt that they were definitely helped by a single interview with one of the counsellors. More of them have been coming for a series of conferences. Miss Celia Walker, chair man of the Mental Health committee, reported receiving a request from the Mental Health Association of Oregon for a tape recording telling about the pilot program now in effect here. The request was turned over to Mrs. L. E. Gustison, publicity chairman. Miss Walker also spoke ap preciateively of the fine work being done by the counsellors and by others who are help ing in the program. Half Completed It was explained to the committee that this demon stration program has already run half its course. It is to be concluded at the end of Jan uary. Another matter brought to the attention of the commit tee was the annual request for gifts for the patients in the state mental hospitals. In the Medford area, the gifts may be left at the Padgham Glass and Millwork office, 1399 Court st. Gifts may be either for chil dren or adults. Suggested for children are unbreakable rec ords, harmonicas, paint, cray ons, wagons, trains, dolls, col or and picture books.
