Gains of fractions to full points were spread all over the big board toward the fourth hour. The advances, however, were timid -and so were the traders. The ticker tape traveled at a snail-like pace and one analysttypical of many in Wall Streetexpressed the opinion: "The path of least resistance is likely to prove to be upward." The end of the "political truce" in Washington and the consequent outburst of theorizing as to whether President Roosevelt intends to run for a third term was watched intently in Wall Street, but no one appeared certain as to whether present apathy of the market bore much relationship to the domestic political scene.
