The Treasury Department sold $7.8 billion in three-month bills at an average discount rate of 5.25 percent, up from 5.16 percent last week. Another $7.8 billion was sold in six-month bills at an average discount rate of 5.39 percent, up from 5.34 percent last week. The rates were the highest since three-month bills sold for 5.32 percent on Aug. 25 and six-month bills averaged 5.65 percent on Aug.

18. Rates in early September had declined to the lowest level in more than nine years before beginning to rise. The -new discount rates understate the actual return to investors 5.40 percent for three-month bills, with a $10,000 bill selling for $9,865.80 and 5.62 percent for six-month bills selling for $9,727.50. In a separate report, the Federal Reserve said quarter, its weakest performance since the last recession ended in 1982. But analysts noted signs that the economy will perform better in the final six months of the year.

Unemployment dipped to 6.8 percent in August, its third monthly decline, while industrial production has risen as well. If the economy does pick up strength, the Fed would not be under the same pressure to ease credit conditions to stimulate economic growth. Another factor weighing against further loosening moves, analysts said, was the recent jump in the price of gold and other commodities, which have raised fears that inflation is headed higher. Those increases have already driven up long-term bond yields by more than one-half percentage point since Labor Day WASHINGTON iAP) The Federal Reserve, which has been aggressively pushing interest rates lower this year to prop up a sluggish economy, is unlikely to ease credit conditions further because of concern over renewed inflation and signs of economic revival, analysts said Monday. While economists said" they doubt the central bank will go the other way and tighten up on interest rates, they said the steep slide that pushed rates to the lowest levels of this decade is over.

Policymakers at the Federal Reserve, who meet eight times a year to map monetary strategy, will convene behind closed doors Tuesday. The 12-member group, known as the Federal Open Market Committee, is composed of the seven members of the Federal Reserve Board, headed by Chairman Paul Volcker, and five of the 12 presidents of Fed regional banks. Mter the past two FOMC meetings in July and August, the Fed announced reductions in its discbunt rate, the interest it charges on loans to member financial institutions. It was the most dramatic signal the central bank can send of intentions to push interest rates lower. In all, the Fed has cut the discount rate four times this year to its current level of 5.5 percent, the lowest rate since the summer of 1977.

A variety of other rates have fallen as well as the central bank tried to use its power over interest rates to get U.S. economic growth back oh track. The economy, as measured by the gross national product, rose at a dismal annual rate of just 0.6 percent in the April-June MARKET HIGHLIGHTS Markets the average yield for one-year Treasury bills, the fmost popular index for making changes in adjust- NYSE INDEX DoW Jones Averages NEW YORKiAPI Final Oow-Jones avgs. a Glance At NEW YORK IAP) Cnfeng New York Stock Exchange index: CSps Cllteig Market -43 cents tor Monday, Sep 22 Low CMse On Opea Hie index 135 05 -1 51 Industrial 154 1 -111 30 ind 10 Trn NEW YORK (AP) Markets at glance Monday New Yert Slack Exchange 1130 advances. 41 declines.

Working Rigs Increase HOUSTON (AP) The number of working oil rigs in the country rose for the third week in a row to 764, an increase of 24 from last week's 740, Hughes Tool Co, officials said.

Last year at this time, the count was 1,955, company officials said Monday. In July, the rig count hit an all-time low of 663, but was on an upswing before it dropped to 727 in late August, according to officials of the oil toolmaker, which has kept industry statistics since 1940. 15 Stk 20 Bonds Vt Public Ulil Industrials Common futures 40 7V-0 02 4174-41 (141-1 II 127 .73 25 NEW YORK IAP) Approx final total Prev full day Week ago Montti ago Year ago Two rears ago Jan 1 to date IH5 to date Itta kg date NY Stock sales 120t0UX 15340400 155420.000 104.150400 104.700400 7t.JK.M0 25.704,454452 n4N.7X400 Wheat tower Corn Higner Oats Lower Soybeans Mostly fogner 01 Counter 12 advances, 18 declines Most active dollar value Apple Computer JS'la Most active voiume MBO Co -no-va NASDAQ saies ttm no NASDAQ composite 352 S5- t) nms composite WHAT STOCKS DID NEW YORK (AP) Sep 22 AMEX LOS ANGELES (AP) Armand Hammer, chairman of Occidental Petroleum finally will own part of the company that makes Arm it-Hammer baking soda and other consumer products. For years, the 88-year-old Hammer has been asked if he owned the company that makes Arm Hammer. "Everybody would ask," Hammer said in an interview last year.

"A few years ago, I offered to buy it so I could say yes. But the owners didn't want to sell." Occidental announced Monday it has signed a letter of intent to form a partnership with Church Dwight Co. Inc. of of Princeton, N.J., which makes and sells consumer products under the Arm Hammer label, including sodium bicarbonate, deodorizers, toothpaste and laundry detergent. Under the partnership, to be known as Ar mand Products the two companies will have an equal share in a potassium carbonate plant at Muscle Shoals, Ala.

In exchange for 50 percent of the operation, Occidental will receive 1.11 million shares, or about 5 percent, of the common stock of Church Dwight, plus $5.3 million in cash. The stock is worth about $13.5 million. Hammer will be named to the Church Dwight board. The majority of Church Dwight, founded in 1846, will still be owned by the company's founding families. Occidental acquired the Alabama plant this year when it bought the chemical division of Diamond Shamrock Corp.

Potassium carbonate is used in foods, fertilizers, rubber and photographic chemicals, as well as glass for color television screens. Standard, Poor's Avgs.

Lions Must Be Removed CHICAGO (AP) Bally Manufacturing Corp. says unwanted cats are roaming two casino-hotels it bought in Nevada, and it may cost millions to get rid of the felines. The Chicago-based company bought the two resorts from MGM Grand Hotels Inc. in April for $550 million.

AS part of the deal. Bally is required to remove all logotypes of the roaring lion that has opened MGM movies for 60 years. "There are more lions here than in Africa," said Richard Gillman, president and chief executive of Bally 's Grand the subsidiary that runs the resorts in Las Vegas and Reno.

This time, however, prices remained relatively steady. Other than that, brokers said there was little in the news to stir enthusiasm for stocks. Many Wall Streeters believe investors' confidence will need longer to revive after the kind of losses they have sustained lately. On Tuesday, government reports are expected on the consumer price index and new orders for durable goods last month.

But analysts say those figures by themselves are unlikely to clear up confusion about the outlook for the economy and the inflation rate. The most intense activity Monday focused on stocks involved in takeover news and speculation. Robertshaw Controls jumped 14 to 84. The company said it agreed to be acquired by Siebe PLC of Britain for $85 a share in cash. Anderson Clayton gained 4 to CO1.

After the close oh Friday, Ralston Purina said it was considering making a $62-a-share bid for the company. USX led the active list, unchanged at 25 on turnover of more than 13.5 million shares. The stock climbed 4 points last week amid rumors that one or more large investors were building up positions in it. Point-plus gainers among the blue chips included General Electric, up 2V8 at International Business Machines, up l34 at 138; Ford Motor, up 2 at 54; DuPont, up at 81, and Minnesota Mining Manufacturing, upl78at 103. In the overall tally on the Big Board, advancing issues outnumbered declines by nearly 5 to 2.

The exchange's composite index added 1.56 to 135.05. Nationwide turnover in NYSE-listed issues, including trades in those stocks on regional exchanges and in the over-the-counter market, totaled 151.34 million shares. Standard Poor's index of 400 industrials rose 3.04 to 260.11, and 500-stock composite index was up 2.72 at 234.93. The NASDAQ composite index for the over-the-counter market gained 3.12 to 352.55. At the American Stock Exchange, the market value index closed at 261.29, up 2.15.

NEW YORK (AP) Stock prices staged a broad advance Monday, turning in their strongest showing since the market's early-September sell-off. But trading was light, and analysts said they weren't ready as yet to proclaim a complete recovery from the battering suffered two weeks ago. The Dow Jones average of 30 industrials jumped 30.80 to 1,793.45. Volume on the New York Stock Exchange came to 126.06 million shares, against 153.86 million Friday. Analysts said bargain hunting was encouraged by declines in open-market interest rates.

Prices of long-term Treasury bonds, which move in the opposite direction from interest rates, rose about $5 for every $1,000 in face value. There was also some relief among Wall Streeters that last Friday's "triple witching hour" had passed without any significant damage to stock prices.

The gains in soybeans were essentially on follow-through buying from a sharp rally on Friday, said Mickey Luth, an analyst with Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc.

Traders said weekend rains and more moisture in the forecast also helped bean prices as well as corn. Wheat futures lost as much as 4 cents a bushel, partly on sharp declines in foreign currencies and the Agriculture Department's announcement last Friday that it plans to leave unchanged the $15 a ton subsidy on any wheat sales to the Soviet Union. On the close, wheat was unchanged to 4 cents lower with the contract for delivery in December at a bushel; corn was unchanged to lMs cents higher with December at a bushel; oats were cent to 2 cents lower with December at $1.26 a bushel; and soybeans were V4 cent lower to 2 cents higher with November at $4.86 a bushel.
