After more than two weeks patiently Wang for a break in recent mar- ket doldrums, traders saw a ray of hope in the last two sessions this week. Industrials, golds, base metals and uraniums and New Brunswick base metals showed little change --some dropped even lower--but western oils finally made the long- awaited rise. Thursday's and Friday's ses- sions showed gains of more than two points each to erase the losses of the éarly part of the week and show a gain of more than three points from a week ago Friday. The reason? The general attitude was more one of relief that the low period was over than of examina- tion of what ended it if it is really ended). Some observers feel that oil stock prices were unreasonably low. They cite such issues as Seuss with sizeable assets, and considerable reserves, which had downward pressure was eased, they say, when investors sud- denly realized such issues had been underpriced as recent declines forced everything down. A sudden desire to buy in before the ebb reached its natural limits forced the price up again. Pacific, Cal- gary-and-Edmonton and General were in the same category, they say. Another explanation favored by some is that the recession, which was expected to follow the end of the Korean war, has not mater- ialized in its anticipated propor- tions, and renewed confidence is beginning to exert an upward pressure. Other issues will follow western oils, these people say. The other issues? Some experts are not too optimistic about the immediate future of gold, base metals and industrials. In Toronto recently, at an investment dealers' meeting, experts predicted .indus- trials would remain low until the spring, base metals had yet to reach their bottom, and golds were hovering at the bottom mark now.
