Traders took only a tepid inter est in many of the. usual leaders. Price changes rarely exceeded a point and gains and losses were pretty well mixed. Many shares seesawed in a fractional range. Favored issues though, moved up as much as 4 points. ' A moderate amount of business was done, almost even with Mon day's market. Turnover of 1,400, 000 shares compared with 1,420,000 yesterday. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks remained at 74 J. A min or rise carried the utility group to a new. high since 1947 and the in dustrial section also edged up. A decline in the rails, however, off set those gains. Trading narrowed to 1,077 in dividual issues from 1,086 Monday. Plus signs appeared in front of 352 issues while 447 declined. .;t:z X Xt S a r'-.tv vv v X sift x tit "'- : Ii X O O e O O V ... fast 'X X -V; , X V i X x i .. ' ::.. 4-:,iX ' - -1 i ' ' .
