The brokerage house says, nevertheless, that two things are clear: (1) on a number of past occasions, the rails have lagged substantially behind industrials, both percentage wise and in point of time; (2) the railroad industry is no longer as important In the economy as it once was. . We are now entering a pe riod when those who bought on the weakness in the mar ket last September and Octo ber have long-term gains, Goodbody concludes, but barring a shocking news de velopment, there appear to be no signs of any serious reac tion developing yet.
