YORK, May 18 -VP) Prices turned spotty in Monday' stock market after early rising tendencies generally failed to fol- low through, but the list on bal ance managed to finish a shade ahead. - Dealings, ' sluggish from the start, -were further attenuated by the suspension ; of trading from noon to 1 p. m. in order to per : mit members -to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the stock exchange by participating in big Wall Street war bond rally. Transfers for the four hours totaled 216,620 shares compared with Friday's 5-hour aggregate of 257,120. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks retained net advance of .1 of a point at 34.1. Of 541 issues appearing on the ticker tape, 217 were up, 150 down and 174 unchanged. f Further cheering war news from Russia again served to prop speculative and investment sen timent but the question of taxes, earnings and dividends helped restrain many potential purchas ers. " ' : In the matter of dividends, Du i 1 Pont fell 2 points on a total of : 1000 shares when directors shav ed the interim disbursement $1 a share from $1.25 paid i March and $1.75 declared in the ' four quarters of 1941.
