O’HARA NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—W)—The jtock market today retained the taint bullish tinge that spread over (he iiSt at the close of last week. yesterday’s moderate advance •nparently stimulated confidence , the speculative sector and prices were bid up moderately. Steels, aircrafts, utilities,’ coppers, rails “d specialties had the best sup ort although most of these, groups had 'one or more laggard mem bers. Generally the gains were confined to fractions, but in iso lated cases ran to a point or more. It looked as if the market found the key to further recovery in the meagerness of selling on a higher opening. When the fresh gains were permitted to stand, buying expand ed a bit, keeping most stocks on an even keel while some of the lavored issues pushed ahead to best levels at the end. There was als, a quota of losers. The Associated Press 60-stock average recorded an advance of .1 of a point at 43.5. The day’s turn over of 432,410 shares compared with 458,9,30 Tuesday. There was little in the day’s news to associate with the upturn, and Wall street remained preoc cupied with worries involving the war, spreading government con trols in business and emergency taxation. As in the recent recovery ses sions the improved demand for stocks was ascribed mainly to ideas the market’s technical posi tion was sound and that it might have some better news to work on after the Labor Day holiday. Among leaders were Bethlehem Steel, Chrysler, Consolidated Air craft, Sperry, Bendix, American Can, American Telephone, Santa Fe, Great Northern PFD, and Pep si-Cola. Loew’s and Boeing estab lished new 1941 highs. Standard O’l (N.J.) dipped after investment quarters reported preparations were under way for an off the market offering of 150,000 shares.
