The list slipped at the start, but firming tendendies of the carriers soon halted the light selling move.

Initial losses of fractions to around a point, were transformed into gains as much in many cases near the fourth hour. The recovery shift was attributed in part to the belief of some technicians that at least a temporary upturn was in the cards because of the notable drying up of offerings in the past week or so.
