...Gaulle had hoped to combat the rising cost of living by an all-out overhaul of France's antiquated food distribution system, under which nearly every vegetable or farm animal produced in France must be shipped to Paris' Les Halles market for sale or reshipment to the provinces. But the reform has been put off because of the cost of prosecuting the Algerian war. Last week embattled artichoke growers at St.-Pol-de-Leon dumped 800 tons of artichokes into a quarry and doused them with diesel oil in protest at the fall of the farm price...
...much fun to come home to. Rebel and bandit fighting continued in Java, Sumatra, the Celebes and Borneo. The monetary reform so ambitiously decreed last year was a total failure. With more currency in circulation than ever, the rupiah was down to 250 to the dollar on the free market (official rate 45 to one), and the presses still clacked out new money to support a 250,000-man army that gobbles up 50% of the budget. Commerce had slowed to a near standstill; in central Java only 50 sugar mills were operating (v. 120 prewar), and some...
...stock market last week made the biggest one-week rally in its history, rolling up a spectacular gain of 25.90 on the Dow-Jones industrial average. The market advanced steadily through the week, was turned back slightly at week's end by profit taking after the sixth successive rise.

The business picture had changed little, but Wall Street's psychological mood had obviously changed, and the bulls roamed the Street with little...
...this was embarrassing to the Dow theorists and to others who had been predicting a big bear market. They had based their predictions on the fact that the industrial average in February broke through its previous low and had been followed by the rails breaking through their lows, the theorists' signal for a bear market. But last week the industrials rose through their previous resistance level of 636-638, and the rails came within an inch of rising through their previous high of 146.56. If they break through, the chartists will be ready to concede that the present "bear...
...institutions and mutual funds were coming back into the market in force, giving the hitherto neglected blue chips a handsome advance, along with the glamour stocks. But not all stocks were going up, and the 30 stocks in the Dow-Jones average did not accurately reflect the fate of many depressed stocks that are still down. Even during last week there was a sizable number of new lows for the year. Many traders believe that before the market can sustain its advance, more stocks will have to participate in the rise, and new highs will have to outnumber new lows...
