Show 4C The Salt Lake Tribune Tuesday, November 6, Market Gains in NEW YORK The stock (AP) market, inspired by falling interest rates, posted a strong gain Monday in moderate trading. Takeover developments touched off brisk activity in several individual stocks. The Dow Jones average of 30 industrials, up 11.70 points last week, rose another 12.59 to 1,229.24. Volume on the New Yr rk Stock Exchange tailed off to 84.73 million shares from 96.81 million Friday. Analysts noted that the polls still ranked President Reagan a strong favorite to win a second term in Tuesdays election. Thus, they said, investors were not greatly concerned with the possibility of any political surprises. Many Wall Streeters were looking beyond the election to this week's setting meeting of the Federal Reserves Open Market Committee. Expectations are widespread that the Fed will decide to loosen credit further, in order to cushion the recent slowdown of economic and money-supplgrowth. That would presumably mean new declines in interest rates, which have already experienced a substantial drop since last summer. In the credit markets Monday, rates on short-terTreasury bills fell 15 to 30 basis points, or hundreths of a percentage point. Prices of longterm government bonds, which move inversely with interest rates, rose about $5 for every $1,000 in face val- monthly survey of corporate purchasing executives found that A York Stock New Exchange Nov. 5, 1984 UP VOLUME 1,076 84,730,000 0 SHARES 0 ISSUES UNCHANGED TRADED 418 2,052 DOWN 558 N 0.63 97.14 Index Y S E S. & P - three-hundret- U.S.-ma- U.S.-mad- mC Comp 1.16 - 12.59 1,229.24 production, new hiring and new orders all continued to slow last month.
