Thus, a 12.6 per cent range has encompassed this leading group stock average for the past more than eight months. This is a narrower fluctuation than has been recorded in any year since 1897, with the tion of 1944.

"HOW WIDE have been the ups and downs in the years past is indicated by such large fluetuations per cent in 1954; 42.5 per "cent in 1937; 55.1 per in 1933; 63.6 per cent in 1931; 49.4 per cent in 1929; 39.3 per cent in 1920; 45.4 per cent in 1915; 45 cent in 37.8 per cent 1903 and 31.1 cent 19073. in both 1897 and 1898. "BUT WITHIN the span of the limited extreme 1956 fluctuation have been substantial swings. On the first this trading year, the industrials reached a then bull market high of 490.92. This was followed by a correction which carried to the 1956 low of 458.21, on Jan.

23. Then a recovery move was witnessed. This terminated at the bull market top of 524.37, reached on April 9. A minor downtrend terminated on April 25 at 500.99. The next rebound failed to equal the previous high and ended at 519.80.

A sharp down thrust was then witnessed which in effect retested successfully the January low and halted at 463.85 on May 28. "THE USUAL summer rally was recorded in 1956 and this climaxed on Aug. 2 at 523.33. It is interesting that this peak came close to but failed to exceed the bull market high recorded last April. The subsequent reaction carried to a low of 492.19 on Aug.

30, thereby testing the important 490 support level. Then, the industrials entered into a recovering phase and their high last week was 312.68. "THESE MAJOR 1956 swings embraced an aggregate of 308.12 points, which represents almost 59 per cent of the total of the industrials, measured at their highs. The from least what that has can occured be concluded dex in 1956 is that it has thus far been a year of backing and filling."

Market opinion of Martin Gilbert of Bache Company: "While uncertainties such as the Suez affair and perhaps variations in the political picture continue to inject their influence on the price structure, further trading swings are likely to be witnessed which could well prolong a test of the overhead area. We doubt, however, that these factors carry sufficient weight to change the primary bullish trend."

The annual convention of the Pacific Coast Gas Association has been told that rising gas exploration costs make higher prices at the source inevitable. Paul Kayser, president of the Paso Natural Gas Company, termed the supply problem' "really critical." Vast pipe line projects, he said, have led to a scarcity of supply against surging demand for a fuel that was once a by- product of oil operations exclusively. "The need for aggressive exploration to expand and maintain supplies of petroleum and natural gas is, I believe, the most important single factor affecting the economy today," Kayser said. Without further exploration, he added, the nation has only a 13- year supply of oil and about a 22-year reserve of natural gas at present rates of demand.
