The Dow-Jones industrials closed at 270.55 and the rails at 99.15 after sell- ing down to extreme lows of 267.08 and 96.87 on Tuesday. At this moment, there is overhead supply at 273-275 in the industrials and at 101 in the , , , rail average. ', ' Despite the fact that the intermediate trend has been downward, I ex- Z .! pect the same selective action in individual issues that was part of the recent advance. Individual issues may be near or at their lows at present , ,'.. levels even though the averages work lower. I am listing below my recommen-;- ', ded list of investment and capital appreciation issues together with new recommendations to be bOught only on weakness, in the buying ranges specifid. ,,' LONG TERM INVESTMENT Despite the fact that ,the intermediate term trena' ;,' may be down, I continue to advise a 100 invested position in accounts con- cerned mainly with income and longer-term appreciation. Holdings of sound, c,c , ., good quality, dividend paying issues shoUld be retained, particularly when' , I, bought at considerably lower price levels. The longer term trend indicates ' . ultimately higher price levels and good grade issues should continue divi- ' , dend payments at approximately present rates. Further weakness should pre- , sent buying opportunities in selected issues Price BUin flange Price Buying Range , i Abbott Lab. (A) 45 6- 3 Hall Printing 16 16-15 ,,' , Allis Chal.

The recent sell-off confirms the advisability of this course of ac–' , tion. However, on further weakness would bring accounts up to 60 invested .;, Buy only on weakness to the buying ranges specified Admiral (Al All.
