March 16. 1943 ( PAGE TCI Mai ' UJiO Penny Rail Issues Fall Supreme Court Ruling Hits Stocks, but Average Holds; NEW YORK; March 15-flV Stocks of ,. railways under reor ganization tumbled in - Monday's market in the wake of the su preme court's ,Si Paul decision but strong spots among better grade rails and industrials were plentiful. The recently buoyant "Penny" carrier . issues were unloaded in blocks of 1000 to 5000 shares at declines of fractions to 4 points when the court upheld the ruling 1 the interstate commerce com mission excluding St Paul share owners from participation in the revamping of the road's capital structure. Unsecured rail bonds also weakened as their position, in the light of the decision, was viewed as doubtful. . Trends were a trifle irregular t the opening and remained cloudy at the close. Dealings slackened at intervals but trans fers for the full proceedings amounted to 1,356,420 shares compared with 1,972,060 Friday. The Associated Press 60-stock average was unchanged at 46.7, the best mark? since November 11, 1940. i i Boardrooms found nothing, par ticularly inspiring in the war news . and i considerable profit cashing persisted. Stocks advancing better than a point to peaks for - the past year or longer included Santa Fe, Great Northern, Bell Aircraft and Pepsi-Cola. In the, softening transportation group were common and pre ferreds of Seaboard Air Line, New Haven, Frisco, M-K-T, St. Louis Southwestern and Rock Island. Moderately lower were US Steel,-Bethlehem, Western Union, Consolidated Edison, NY Central, Baltimore & Ohio, Southern Rail way and International Harvester.

Rye eased along withl : wheat on selling; by bouses with! eastern connections, but oats held rela tively firm. Cora never, fell be low ceilings, although some tran sactions were made in all con tracts. . .;.-( .. j -4' At the close wheat was off 4-lH, May $1.434-4, July 11.44 Vi-H, corn was : unchanged at ceilings, May $1.01, oats were H lower to H higher , and rye showed losses of -lIcent. ' j Receipts of wheat at 12 prin cipal interior terminals close to 3,127,000 bushels compared with 2,336,000 a week aga It was re ported also that country , stations in the northwest are unable to obtain sufficient box cars. If the storage should be overcome, there would be considerable addition al grain going into Minneapolis. Demand for wheat continued fairly good, however, with . the visible supply decreasing i 174,000 bushels to 173,654,000 bushels.
