NEW YORK, Nov. 20 —W)—
Climbing special stocks helped
the generaltone of today’s stock
market although a number of
leaders displayed a lack of en
thusiasm.
The biggest batch of in
creased and extra dividends- in
some time propped assorted
favorites but failed to buoy
other stocks concerned. Buying,
on the whole, was credited to
the belief the list would pay
more attention to good business
news and at least extend the re- j
cent technical comeback. Senti
ment also was aided by the
thought that Congress would
cold-shoulder stringent econom
ic controls while approving Eu
ropean relief. Income tax sell
ing was offset to some extent
by switching operations. Num
erous doubters trimmed ac
counts, however, or stood aside
to await more light on taxes and
the international situation.
Forward leanings prevailed
from the start. A few "blue
chips” executed wide jumps but
gains mostly ranged from frac
tions to a point or so with minus
signs well distributed ,for pivo
tals at the close. It was the
sixth straight session without an
average loss. Dealings picked
up at intervals although slow
downs were frequent. Volume cf
960.000 shares compared with 1,
040.000 Wednesday.
