Tabell of Wals-ton Co. said that the market, unable to make any headway for the past couple of weeks "seems to be worried about a number of things." "What is interesting at this time, however," he added, "is that all of the things the market seems to be worried about have not yet taken place and, indeed, may very well not do so."

Brokers Amex Ban Hiis 103 Hot Sfocks NEW YORK (AP) The American Stock Exchange, less than a week after warning member organizations that speculation was reaching dangerous levels, has temporarily banned members and member organizations from trading for their own accounts in 103 stock issues. The public still will be able to trade in the 103 issues which are about 8V2 per cent of the 1,200 issues listed on the exchange. The 103 issues in recent weeks have accounted for a larger portion of volume than 8Ms per cent, an exchange spokesman said.

The ruling affects more than 8,000 individuals, the spokesman said. The exchange has 580 member organizations. The partners of each organization are allied members of the exchange and the order bars them from trading in the 103 issues for their personal accounts. THE PERCENTAGE OF over-all trading conducted at the exchange by members for their own accounts is not known, but it is believed to be substantial. The ban is believed to be the strongest action ever taken by any securities exchange against speculation.

H. Vernon Lee' exchange vice presidentin charge of the membership services division, said the ban was "part of the exchange's continuing focus on unusual speculative activity." LEE DID NOT SAY whether the exchange felt member trading in certain issues had been excessively speculative but did refer to a commentary issued by the exchange a year ago which said: The list had nearly all the names of issues which regularly have appeared in recent weeks on the exchange's most active stock list as well as the names of many of other issues. Some of the issues considered speculative are those of companies searching for oils or minerals. Others in the field of electronic data processing have attracted speculative money in recent years.

"I'm afraid a lot of people 'shorted' the stock, thinking they had some and then finding out they didn't," one broker suggested yesterday.

Among lesser broadcasting companies, Corinthian Broadcasting fell IVi to 35 and Cox Broadcasting IV to 55, while Storer Broadcasting rose to 54 and Taft Broadcasting closed unchanged at 38.

Retires Watson, 51, Joined the company in 1936, and returned after service in World War II with the Air Force. He has been a director since 1956 and a vice president since 1959. Watson will remain Albany-based. He planned the company's Miami operation, which was opened approximately 10 years ago and sold three years later, and then returned to Albany.

A major reason for the deci-1 sion to keep its president in Albany, although headquarters offices are maintained in Rochester, is the greater volume of the Albany operation, a firm spokesman said. "We're seeking to cover the entire Eastern Region," the spokesman said, "but the number of potential customers served by the Albany opera- tion is approximately 10 times greater than the Rochester potential." This and Watson's close working relationship with Tobin were among factors resulting in his appointment, the spokesman said. Emerson-Fisher Radio Merger Approved ST. LOUIS, Mo.

There's no denying that some of the so-called "big boys" have stepped up their rapid buying and selling of stocks. But if you're really an investor, why should the short-term ups and downs of stocks prices bother you? An investor buys stocks and holds them for the long haul. And he usually does very well.

But, it you're a small trader trying to make fast profits on your own in-and-out trades, the deck is stacked against you. This, however, is nothing new. Small traders (like $2 horse-players) kid only themselves and, invariably, lose their shirts. Be J. W.

My husband is employed by a company which was recently acquired by Singer Co. So, he is now eligible to participate in Singer's employe stock purchase plan which seems to be very attractive. He can invest up to 10 per cent of his salary to buy Singer common stock at a 20 per cent discount from market price. Because he just received a 12 per cent raise, this seems to be a good time to begin.
