An opening attempt to extend the recent mild recovery failed. . Bonds were relatively steady. Professionals, brokers said, were disposed to cash even the meager profits and retire to the safety lone to await possible weekend eventualities. Gold mines, scattered aircrafts and industrials did fairly well at the start but the majority back ed down from best levels In the final hour and near-closing de clines of fractions to a point or so were well distributed. Trans fers were around 400,000 shares. In the backward class were V. 8. Steel, Bethlehem, Southern Pacific, Santa Fe, General Mo tors, Chrysler, General Electric, U. S. Rubber, Montgomery Ward, Anaconda, Texas Co. and Amer ican Smelting. Some mines re corded a new high for the year before encountering opposition. Resistance was displayed by Homestake Mines, Mclntyre Por ' cupine, ' Douglas Aircraft "and Johna-Manville.
