Monday Morning, June 13,1983 Sije lailff Sfewi 7-A Inflation fears hit Wall Street NEW YORK (AP) Some uneasy conjecture has been stirring on Wall Street lately that inflation has begun to revive. But most analysts stilt dismiss those fears as premature, If not unwarranted altogether. The prime source of concern has been the recent rapid growth reported by the Federal Reserve in the basic measure of the money supply. If the Fed doesn't take steps soon to slow this growth, some observers worry, it could soon translate into new upward pressure on prices throughout the economy. The money-supply numbers have helped push prices down and interest rates up over the past month in the bond market, which is especially sensitive to changes in inflation expectations.

The stock market has also declined, although not so sharply. After falling 16.93 to 1,196.11 in the past week, the Dow Jones average of 30 industrials showed a net toss of 36.48 points since it hit a record high of 1,232.59 on May 6. Other readings for the week showed the New York Stock Exchange composite index down .68 at 94.45, and the American Stock Exchange market value index off 1.34 at 465.18. Big Board volume averaged 87.75 million shares a day, against 82.92 million the week before. One place that has shown no symptoms of any new inflation fever is the gold market the traditional haven for investors worried about damage to the purchasing power of paper money.

Gold traded this past week in the low $400s, less than half its peak of 2 i years ago. Analysts at the Value Line Investment Survey contend that stocks, too, have shown a great deal of "resiliency" in the face of the money-supply trend. $83 1 'lM i cib F01C AMERICAN BANK Money Market Rate t.M% 765-9421 MAIDS FOR HIRE TIKtDOf CUANWGT RENT A MAID Janitorial and Carpet Shampooing Bonded itlmatct Five-millionth guest welcomed Sea-Arama's Cap' Sharkey and general manager Ralph McPheeters (left) welcome the five-millionth guest, D.C.
