RIVERSIDE SANTA ANA STOCKTON VALLEJO TAB Ell'S MARKET lETTER 35 WALL STREET, NEW YORK 5, N. Y. Digby 4-4141 '. , The market at Friday's intra-day highs, 200086 industrials, and 55.94 ., rails, had regained most of last week's decline to 193.94 and 52.17. Volume on the recovery has been relatively small. ,.' Last week's decline was from a level of tremendous overhead supply 0 The market spent most of the first half of 1946 in the 200-213 area. While four years have passed there may still be much stock coming into the mar- ,ket at this level. Some time may be needed to penetrate this supply and ..', while so doing the market may back away more than once . .j Expect a consolidating market in the next two monhs while enough tech- . nical strength is generated to penetrate the 200-213 area. During this – . period a trading range in the industrials between 205 and 190 is likely ;.. with an outside possibility as low as 1850 Dur.ing such a trading market . , special situations could have worthwhile moves. Listed below are my ; recommended issues. Buy on market weakness. These issues will be reviewed individually over the next few weeks.
