BUYERS LIKE
INDUSTRIALS
S
' By VICTOR EUBANK
NEW YORK, April 29 (IP)
Buyers liked assorted rails, se
lected Industrials and a few util
ities in today's stock market but
many leaders were left to shift
for themselves at slightly lower
levels.
Gains ranged from fractions
to a point or so in the forenoon.
These were reduced or trans
formed into minus signs near the
close and final prices were well
jumbled.
Transfers were around 900,
000 shares compared with recent
two-million aggregates when
trends were climbing. -
In the stock section Interna
tional Telephone posted a top for
the year but failed to follow
through. In front the greater
part of the session were Santa
Fe, Southern Railway, Great
Northern, Pennsylvania, West
ern Union, Texas Co., Goodyear,
Chrysler, DuPont, North Amer
ican, Boeing and Anaconda. In
termittent stumblers were U. S.
Steel: Goodrich, Sears Roebuck,
Douglas Aircraft, Westinghouse,
Union Carbide, Johns-Manville,
International Harvester and U.
S. Gypsum.
Northwestern bonds moved up
substantially when the supreme
court declined to upset the 1CC
approved reorganization plan
for this railway.

GOVERNMENT
TO
E
WASHINGTON, April 19 (JP)
The entire 1943 clip of Ameri
can wool growers will be pur
chased by the federal govern
ment.
The purchase, designed to sta
bilize prices and assure growers
an adequate Income, was au
thorized in an order issued Sat
urday night by War Food Ad
ministrator Chester C. Davis. It
gave the exclusive right to buy
wool to the Commodity Credit
corporation of the department
of agriculture.
CCC under the program will
buy wool through regular trade
handlers on a basis of OPA ceil
ing prices, less handling costs,
and resell it to manufacturers
at the same ceiling prices.
Deductions of 11 cents per
grease pound will be allowed
CCC for appraisal, storage, in
terest and other costs.
Davis' announcement gave no
schedule of buying prices, but
the agriculture department's lat
est price report showed that
growers in recent months have
been receiving about 40 cents a
pound on the average. Buying
prices vary, however, according
to grades and distances from
major markets.
The government's chief wool
appraiser, the food administra
tion announced, will be Durham
Jones of Boston. He will have
headquarters in Boston and re
gional offices in Portland, Ore ,
Philadelphia, Chicago, Denver
and San Angelo, Tex.
