WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York -(UPD Stocks de clined again during the past week, the fifth setback of the six weeks so far in 1960. The drop was held down by an other sharp Tuesday rise and a rise on Friday, led by the leading chemicals. In the other losses ranged Elmer Walter three sessions down from 7.34 points in the industrials on lvionaay. Volume fell off after a ses sion of 3,d50,U0u shares on Monday, and the total for the week set a new low since last Oct. 16. Sales for the five sessions totaled 13,483,- 960 shares, a daily average of 2,696,792 shares, against 14, 075,209 shares or a daily av erage of 2,815,042 shares in the previous week.

Jan. 5 close of 685.47, the all-time record high for this average, and the close Thurs day of 618.57, low since Sept. 22, amounted to 66.90 points or 9.76 per cent. Variety of Reasons Wall Street furnished a variety of reasons for the market's behavior. One group held that the selling was based on nothing more than technical considerations. Another held that institu tions were feeding out small quantities of blue chips and investing in bonds. Small traders who buy and sell odd lots bought more stock than they sold. Dullness of the trading re flected a lack of real liquid ating pressure. Big investors were keeping their holdings intact for the most part be cause of the high capital gains taxes they would have to pay on profits, which have accumulated over the years. Lack of Buying Demand . Big swings in the indus trial average reflected lack of buying demand more than real selling pressure. The cream of the market suffered the widest price swings. The more speculative issues show ed smaller changes. Business news continued on the favorable side.
