Leadership on the upside was switched to rails and utilities. The result was much surface confusion and a highly scrambled list of losses and gains. Declines at the extreme ran to 2 or 3 points, offset by advances of as "nuch in the carrier and power roups and among the rugged jerformers which continued to move ahead.

Transactions approximated O.OOn shares, with the ticker several times overtaxed by the Beset by renewed profit-taking, following Tuesday's upsurge to lew peaks for the summer bull movement, the market encoutered an early setback. Substantial gainc in secondary rail bonds imparted an appearance of strength to the investment market. Leading the advance in the 'ails and utilities were such shares as New York Central, Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, Great Northern, North America, Consolidated Edison and Electric Power and Light, Other strong spots were U. S. Gypsum, Na- Lional Distillers and International Paper preferred.
