The Dow Jones average of 30 in dustrials, up about 30 points and down about 15 at its midsession ex tremes, closed with a gain of .91 at 2,353.61. Volume on the New York Stock Exchange reached 197.44 million shares, up from 164.18 million in the previous session. Interest rates dropped in early ac tivity, giving stock prices a lift. Treasury Secretary James Baker said the economic summit that con cluded in Venice Wednesday had produced “real progress” on a vari ety of issues. Brokers also said expectations are running high for second-quarter earnings reports, which will start coming out less than a month from now. That helped prompt some invest ing institutions to step up their buy ing in order to show increased stock holdings when they make their mid year reports to clients at the end of June, analysts said. But the bond market gave up most of its gains as the session pro gressed. That, in turn, touched off a wave of afternoon selling in the stock market, which left prices fluc tuating erratically just before the close. With all its Fits and starts, the mar ket managed to post its third straight gain this week. The Dow Jones in dustrial average shows a net advance of 27.46 points since last Friday’s close.

Scientist finds clotting of blood more likely to occur in morning BOSTON (AP) — People’s blood is more likely to clot shortly after they get out of bed, a discovery that may explain why heart attacks are most common in the morning, a study concludes. One researcher speculated that (he clotting phenom enon could be an evolutionary result of animals begin ning their day lighting for food and needing protection against the risk of being cut. The new study found that the tendency of blood to form clots — known as platelet aggregability — is high est between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. Two years ago, Dr. James E. Muller of Harvard Med ical School published a study showing that heart attacks are most common in the morning. They are three times more likely to happen at 9 a.m. than at 1 1 p.m. Usually a heart attack occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery that feeds the heart. The heart muscle is starved of oxygen, and some of it dies. Muller and colleagues theorized that blood cells known as platelets, which clump together to form clots to plug holes in blood vessels, might play a role in the daily rhythm of heart attack. The latest research, directed by Dr. Geoffrey H. Toller, a member of Muller’s research team, confirms that idea. It found “a marked increase in platelet aggre gability” in the morning. “We have I think, at least part of the explatBli the morning peak in heart attacks,” Muller said ' may not lie the only event in the morning thatp poses to thrombosis (clotting), but it’s likely tobtt them.” 1 he researchers l>elieve that clotting powers influenced by the sympathetic nervous systeir:. oversees the production of epinephrine andotl»t mones that help people deal with stressful sit® The body begins pumping out these hormones; as people awaken. “Morning is a time of activation of the sympe nervous system, which in evolutionary termsisfe tern that prepares an animal for fight or flight,"Itt “If the blood becomes more coagulable, thau have evolutionary advantage for animals becaut would be better off if they clotted more readik they got cut in a fight." Finding the underlying cause of morninght; tacks is important, Muller said. "If we can urnfe why they are increased in the morning, we haven better shot at preventing these disorders,”hesaid He said the findings reinforce the lieliefthat, aspirin tablet can ward off heart attacks by sb . blood’s tendency to clot.
