Stocks Start on Big Climb Again
New York August 10 A sustained rally in stock prices today erased part of yesterday's losses. Active issues rose $2 to $10 a share with one stock up $20.25 from yesterday's close. Similar recoveries occurred on the New York curb and other major markets. Trading was moderate with NYSE volume under 1.5 million shares in two hours versus over 5 million yesterday. Strong buying followed speculation that the Fed discount rate increase from 5 to 6 percent might be less bearish than first feared.
