IP) Further war apprehension was the principal excuse given by brokers today for another drag ging and uneven stock market performance. A few rails, coppers and spec ialties managed to take on a mild recovery tinge but many leaders were a shade under wa ter when the (inal gong sound ed and numerous stocks held at Monday's levels or near even opened. Dealings picked up at inter vals and transfers of around 223,000 shares compared with 161,000 yesterday which was the second smallest turnover for a full session in 24 years. Wall Street was still hopeful for the British but sentiment was confused by persistent heavy Nazi bombing raids on England, despite retaliatory air raids of the R.A.F. on Germany Individual shares were prop ped by good business items, in cluding earnings and dividends. Tax problems, at the same time, clouded the speculative scene. Todar'e closing prices for 84 se lected atocka follow: Al. Chem. tc Dye - 153'i Am. Can 95 A. T. & T. 180', Anaconda ... Atch. T. et JS.
