NEW YORK, May 21. ff) Traders
turned a cold shoulder to all but
store shares In lat dealings today.
For much of the session numerous
leaders found lukewarm friends, but
as trading progressed most groups
wera allowed to shift for themselves
and modest gains were erased.
As the market came Into the final
few minutes, losses of fractions to
around a point predominated. Par
ticularly neglected were rails, motors,
metals and steels.
ThA, street '5 appetite for merchan
dising' Issues was said to have been
whetted by estimates of well-sus
tained consumer buying power.
