FLAG PROBLEM Ottawa, Oct. 26 (AP) Canada is still trying to come up with an official national flag. A pailiamentary committee studied zanski died in 1954 without leav ing a will. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks closed at $156.70, unchanged from the week before.

But volume soared to shares, the highest total since the week ended Oct. 1, 1955. That was the first week after President Eisenhower's heart attack. Outstanding highlights of the week were two days, Monday and Wednesday. On Monday, stocks took their worst dive since Sept.

26, 1955, the first trading session after the Eisenhower heart attack. On Wednesday, the market made its biggest one-day advance since Nov. 14, 1929. The latter was a day of temporary recovery following the blackest days of the '29 crash. This was a climactic week in the lone decline, now well into its fourth month, since the market reached its 1957 high on July 12.

The tremendous volume, the repeated series of late ticker tapes, the almost frenzied scale of selling and buying on the heaviest days these were the factors that spelled "climax" in the language of Wall Street, It was a climax to a long decline but what next? A strong recovery? A continued slide to new lows for the year? The word among financial analysts these days is that the market must "test" the lows reached this week. If it sinks through them, the market theory calls for a recovery of from a third to two thirds' of the ground lost since Julv 12. 2,695 designs and recommended a a low spot is encountered, a device on the hopper releases the collected dirt and fills in the low places.

Any connection with the 1929 events is unwelcome in Wall Street.

The. resemblance between the current period and '29 is superficial. Grain Future's Follow Stock Market Decline Chicago, Oct. 26 (AP) International developments "and the stock market figured largely in the downturn of grain futures this week. Board of Trade commodities ended lower most of the trading sessions, reflecting easing of the Syrian crisis a sharp break in securities early in the week.

At midweek the securities market' staged an historic recovery and grains reacted favorably, closing higher Wednesday. By Thursday the Middle East situation had lost its potency as an immediate market factor and the still rising stock market had only a minor effect on the trade. As a result, most futures again declined. At the end of the trading week, the stock market was lower again but had little or no effect on grains. Except for corn, grains and soybeans finished steady to firm Friday.

No Special News There was no special news to send the market plummeting on Mondav but rather an accumulation of the same kind of doubtful news about business and die economy in general. There were further reports of cutbacks, and lav-offs which underlined Wall Street's concern about tight money. The steel industry's operating rate slipped below 80 per cent of capacity.

Stock prices, already relatively low for new investors or short-term traders, began to slip. Selling begat more selling. Despite the high margin, requirements for stock purchases, brokerage houses began sending out calls for more margin. In distress cases, this margin was not forthcoming and these "weak accounts" were cleaned out. On Tuesday a- vigorous carlv rally washed out by afternoon and prices slid off moderately, but it was a turbulent session with trading volume up to 5,090,000 shares, a two-year daily record.

President Eisenhower's speech that night in which he bade Americans banish "morbid pessimism" and announced his intention of making a series of affirmative speeches on the nation's economy, defense and scientific achievements was generally regarded as the turning point. The market rebounded. The Wednesday advance, greatest since '29, brought an estimated rise of $7,200,000,000 in the quoted value of stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange. This wiped out the losses of the two preceding days. The "confidence factor" had been restored with a vengeance.
