NEW YORK Jan Ill-We would again call attention to the narrow range ill which the Dow Jones Ill- dustrial average has been for the last several days. Closing on this average during this time have been within a range of 1.12. Yesterday's selling appeared to be rather well taken and we would look for a de- cided movement one way or the other by the early part of next week. Until the market does move out of this range it would be well to be although in spite of the threat of higher taxes and other uncertelnitiee. the lmarket currently looks as though it would break out on the upside, we would look for an irregular firm market today again.
