Slight Gains
Dealings Are Among
. Lightest for
i Two Years J
NEW YORK, Aug. 7HtfVThe
'' stock- market displayed further
immunity to confusing interna-
tional news Friday and, while
" dealings ,were among the lightest
in about two years, leading issues
managed to edge into moderately
v higher territory. ,
: '' - The Associated Press average of
60 stocks was up .1 of a point at
36.2, erasing a similar decline of
: ithe day before.' Transfers of 212,-
: 250 shares compared with 248,77 J
Thursday and were the smallest
, for a full session since July 1
which was a low mark since Aug,
' 28. 1840.
Among stocks Bethlehem and
i! C!hrvsler finished ud V each. Les-
i ser improvement was retained by
US Steel, General Motors, Sears
' . Boebuck, Santa Fe, Great North-
ern, Anaconda, Standard Oil
i '. (NJ)f Intern ational Harvester,
United Aircraft, American Can,
v Union Carbide and Eastman Ko-
dak. Du Pont pushed up 1.
' r In the losing column Liggett 1 &
Myers MB" droDDed VA on a few
sales. Westinghouse was off 1.
Minor set-backs were recorded for
l- Montgomery Ward, Allied Chem
ical, American Telephone, Penn
v sylvania and Owens-Illinois.
Halt
ruesses
Wheat Rally
CHICAGO, Aug. 7.-(P)-The
sharp wheat price sally started
Thursday was halted Friday fol
lowing private estimates of large
crops in Kansas, major US pro
ducing state, and Canada.
The market tried to continue its
recovery at the opening but buy
ers melted away, and small frac-
tional gains were lost. Thereafter
prices fluctuated - nervously over
a cent range, alternating above
and below previous closing levels
and finishing unchanged ; to
lcwer compared with Thursday,
with September $1.17-, De
cember $1.20-.
Outside investment and com
mercial trade remained slow and
the bulk of transactions came
from . professional - dealers. This
trade apathy was blamed on the
war and the artificial character of
me marxei Decause -so mucn new
wheat is being held back for gov
ernment loans. Traders said prices
range from 15 to more than "20
cents below loan rates at various
markets and that would-be sell
ers are restrained by the fact that
this is restricting farmer offerings
and movement of new wheat to
terminals while prospective buy
ers cannot ignore record break
ing supplies.
