issues still were inclined to rest af
ter their recent climb.
While individual spots of strength

the close, minor gains and losses
were about evenly divided. Numer

were quiet throughout, transfers ap
proximating 500,000 shares for the

A few steels, alrcrafts, utilities

of themselves. Motors, rails. oil3.
mail orders and coppers held to a

Further weakness of Lowe's was
somewhat of a chilling influence on
