! Reluctant ' ..'
' NEW YORK, April 7-i?VWhfle
airlines and other specialties gave
fairly good" account of them
selves In Tuesday's stock market,
many leaders failed to extend
Monday's recovery bulge.
; Buying reluctance for most piv
. otals was in evidence at the open
ing and, in relatively slow deal
ings, irregular tendencies persist
ed to the close.
The Associated Press average of
60 stocks was off .1 of a point at
34.8. Transfers totaled 308,320
shares against 335,200 Monday.
Action of the civil aeronautics
' board in granting Continental Air
1 Lines a mail rate boost and
.agreeing to reconsider the Amer
lean Airlines rate cut case aided
stocks in this division. Both Amer
ican and Eastern Airlines pushed
up a point each.
A New Jersey court decision in
favor of a stockholder of Amer
ican Car & Foundry preferred
who demanded increased divi
dends on the senior issue lifted
this stock 2 in the late proceed
' ings while the common, which ap
parently was barred from an im
mediate dividend by the .court
ruling, fell 1.
Stocks on the offside fractions
to a point or so included Amerl
can Telephone, Chrysler, Western
Union, Santa Fe, American Can,
Union Carbide, Standard Oil
(NJ), Sears Roebuck, US Rubber
preferred, Westinghouse, Douglas
Aircraft, Du Pont and Interna
tional Harvester.
Among gainers of as much were
Allied Chemical, Philip Morris,
US Gypsum, Woolworth, Air Re
duction and Liggett & Myers "B.'

Grain Prices
Rise Sli ghtly
CHICAGO, April 7 -flV Grain
prices tried Tuesday to extend
Monday s recovery but the at
tempt was feeble.
Led by corn and oats, which
responded to continued gains in
the hog market, where prices
reached new peaks for the past
18 years, the cereal market show
ed signs of advancing at times.
Corn rose as much as Vi cent and
oats cent, pulling wheat and
rye, out of an early decline of
about cent The bread cereals
registered gains' of about H cent
at one stage.
Later, however, the modest
buying power faded. Wheat clos
ed - cent lower than yester
day, May $1.23-, July $1H
Grain men said wheat, as well
as rye. continued to be depressed
by the favorable crop outlook In
most areas, scarcity of storage
space and lagging flour demand.
