It was one of the slowest two- hour days of the year with vol ume around 300,000 shares. A few pivotal issues, including American Telephone, Westing house, Southern Pacific and U. S. Steel, showed some resistance and were slightly ahead most of the time. Such stocks as Chrysler, Good rich, U. S. Rubber, Montgomery Ward, Sears Roebuck, Douglas Aircraft, Kennecott, American Can, Santa Fe, N. Y. Central and Baltimore Ic Ohio entered the final lap carrying minus signs. ' Bonds were irregular with changes generally narrow. Com modities also were slightly mixed. - Closing quotations: American Can 85 Am Car Sc Fdy 351 Am Tel & Tel 153 Anaconda ....... 251 Calif Packing 251 Cat Tractor 481 Commonwealth & Sou General Motors , Gt Nor Ry pfd Illinois Central - H16 301 261 111 ittf Harvester 66 Kennecott 301 Lockheed Long-Bell "A" Montgomery Ward Nash-Kelv 171 8t 43 1 Hi 151 N Y Central Northern Pacific .

Corn purchases on a "to arrive" basis ttoday totaled 450.000 bush els, bringing the1 total for the week to around 1,500,000 bushels. At the close wheat was down 1-1, September 1.441-1, Decem ber $1,461, oats were down 1-1, September 70, and rye was l-t lower, September f 1.011. BOSTON WOOL BOSTON, Aug. 7 (AP-USDA) Some uneasiness developed in the Boston wool market during the past week. Short fine do mestic free wools on which there has been very little de mand recently were offered at prices several cents below clean basis ceilings. The demand for foreign wools ' was limited to spot offerings.
