16 Freeport (ill.) Journal-Standard, Stock Market Report NEW YORK (UPI) The stock market, aided by bargain hunters, struggled higher today even though Chase Manhattan Bank raised its prime lending rate a quarter point to per cent. Trading was moderate. The Dow Jones industrial average, which managed to squeeze out a 0.18 point gain Tuesday, was ahead 0.78 to 855.34 shortly before noon EDT. It had been off more than a point at the outset. Analysts, noting the blue-chip Dow average had fallen 150 points so far this year, said many stocks were selling at attractive prices.

Also, the Dow appeared to have support at 854 level, a 20-month low it first reached in late August. Some investors were heartened by the fact that other major banks did not immediately stampede after Chase. The Chase move came in response to Federal Reserve Board credit tightening to stem a surge in the nation's money supply. Market breadth figures, however, reflected some investor uncertainty about the course of the market. Of the 1,526 issues crossing the tape, 503 advanced, 474 declined and 549 remained unchanged.

New York Stock Exchange volume at the two hour mark amounted to about 7,800,000 shares, up from the 6,310,000 traded during the corresponding period Tuesday, the slowest session of the year.
