WALL STREET CHATTER NEW YORK lUPH - Kenneth Ward of Hayden. Stone & Co. bt lieves the current phase of read justment may prove to be the last chance to switch attention and buy many attractive medium and low priced stocks at favora ble levels before Ihe next upward thrust. Ward bases his belief on the fact thai many good values have been held down to exceedingly low levels and that a large seg ment of the public remains skep tical as evidenced by the size ofi the short position and the favoi able daily ratio of odd-lot pur-i cnases to sales. Except for technical pitfalls Thomson & McKinnon feels that sound common stocks can be ex- petted to follow the line of least resistance which continues toj point -upward in the market. United Business Service points out that food store shares, which were generally, unpopular last year, have been above average! market performers this year. The! fu;m says investors are seeing the! gioup tnis year as a recession resistant growth industry." The firm attributes last year's unpop ularity to "too many stores, too intense competition and too much of a rise in operating expenses. WALL STREET NEW YORK (UPIl - Stocks inched higher today.
