WALL STREET
Wall Street Chatter
NEW YORK (UPI) - The
Granville Market Letter points
out that "the Dow-Jones indus
. trial average at this time is
; completely misleading."
' "A few blue chips run up
'. sharply to new highs thus push
.'ing the industrial average to a
;new high. The average person
sees this and thinks things are
booming on Wall Street. How
ever what they may not know
is that almost half of all the
stocks on the big board are
within one to three points of
. making new lows," Granville
observes.
Walt McKibben of Forbes In
vestographs, Inc.. says that
. "barring a rash of unfavorable
1 national or international devol
; opments, it seems quite likely
that Dow-Jones industrials will
reach 800 in months
.-"ahead. "However," he adds,
; "tlie watchword is selectivity."
; Reynolds & Co. continues to
feel that "the market is resting
on a solid foundation and a pos
itive investment attitude Is ad
visable." Hamphill, Nnyes & Co. says
that "business looks very good
and is showing signs of getting
better. It seems possible that
psychology and fundamentals
might carry the general market
higher for the rest of this year
and into 1984."

Seek Cause
Experts probed the twisted
remains of more than 30 box
cars today in an effort to de
termine the cause of tlie de
railment that hurtled them
from the railroad tracks 10
miles north of Klamath Falls
early Monday morning.
The main rail line, which
serves both Great Northern
Railway and Southern Pacific
Railroad, was reopened at 7:20
Monday night 15 hours aftct
the crash.
The train that derailed was
a Great Northern freight bound
for Bend from Klamath Falls.
More Uian 30 cars derailed
in the pre-dawn hours, tossing
two of them into Upper Klam
ath Lake. No one was injured.
A spokesman for Great North
ern said late this morning that
experts are trying to determine
the cause of the wreck. Other
experts are totaling up t h e
damage, which is expected to
run into the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars.
Actually, the track was
cleared and new rails laid in
about nine hours working time.
Southern Pacific, which owns
the track, had charge of that
operation. Using a big railroad
crane and bulldozers, the crews
pushed the wrecked cars into a
ditch and new track was laid.
The last rail was laid just min
utes before the first train rolled
through Monday evening.
The wrecked cars are being
picked up and their cargoes sal
vaged. Also, SP crews are con
tinuing to work on the road
bed which was damaged in the
wreck.
