s Stock Market

New York, April 3o.-Little more
than 100000 shares changed hands In
the professional dealings of the first
hour the balance Of the forenoon session
being In keeping with this meager out
put. Prices repeated their recent ebb
and flow, Steel declining to 115%, then
rising to 116 and promptly falling back
on comparatively small offerings. Cop
pers again served in part to counteract
the dropping tendency elsewhere and
oils, especially Texas Company, devel-
oped marked strength with general mo-
tors common and preferred, at gains
Of to 4 points. Irregulartty OF bonds
resulted from the lower trend shown
by industrials.
Market conditions showed no mater
ial alteration on the resumption OF
trading today, early quotations denot
ing a continuance Of the irregularity
which attended last weke's later opera
tons. Gains in special issues Of the
several classes represented by Allan
tic, Gulf and West Indies. Mexican Pc
troleum, Industrial Alcohol, American
Wooden and Bethlehem Steel new stock
were balanced by recessions In Marine
preferred, General Motors. Ohio Gas,
Texas Company and Beet Sugar. Unit
ed States Steel moved within narrow
,ndius and rails were only occasionally
quoted.
Alcohol and General Motors were the
main features Of the last hour. scoring
extreme gains Of 4 to 5 points on
steady accumulation. The closing was
strong.
