Tabell’s Market Letter – March 18, 1947

Technical Market Action WRITTEN IN SAN FRANCISCO At Friday's and Saturday's intra-dllY lOViS of 171.94 and 171.90, the market had reached the lower limit of the 172-174 flrea. This area has been mentioned in recent letters as a strong support zone. Individual issues also have met support at the proper resistance levels and the rally of lilonday and Tuesday has broug!1t the averages back to the 174-175 area. For the near term would expect upside resistance at the 176-179 area. Expect a continuation of irreular narket action, on snaIl volwne, as the narket builds up a base area in the niddle 170s. Continue to like the technical patterns of nerous individual issues. , Included in this group are American Rolting iJil1s, Ar.lfJrican \'ater V;orks, Chicago & Northwestern, Crane & Coznpany, Deere & Coznpany, General Cable, Illinois Ce,l'ltral, Penn-Dixie Cement, Seaboard Air Line, SiInmons, Union Bag and Wheling Steel.

United Air Lines, Northwestern Airlines and TliA seezn to have the lJOst fnvorable patterns in the group. EDMUND Ii'.
