TRADING IS LIGHT
ON. STOCK MARKET
Motors Make Best Showing
in PerfunCtory Dealings.
Utilities Strong.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
ecial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 3O.--The larger
changes in today's professional market
we're on the side of advance. but trad
ing was entirely professional and largely
perfunctory The turnover was small
even for the present quiet period.
The motor stocks made the best
showing Chrysler and the Dodge
issues, in further response to the court
decision on the proposed merger, were
substantially higher. General Motors
moved up several points to 100. Then
there was active short covering in Mack
Trucks with gain of some points as
1t sold above 95. The Pierce Arrow
Studebaker combination plans were
without effect on the market for the
stocks.
Utilities Do Better.
The utilities did better particularly
Consolidated Gas and Columbia Gas.
Buying In the former seemed particu
larly confident both today and Friday.
International Telephone 81 Telegraph
improved its position.
In the copper group Cerro De Pasco
was the outstanding leader, reaching a
new years high above rs. Other cop
per stocks were dull and neglected, with
American Smelling & Refining losing
ground.
There was no important change
among the oils and no resumption of
the bidding up of industrial specialties.
Case ThreShing Machine, which had
gained over 30 points in one session
earlier in the week, was no longer a
feature Radio and Wright Aeronautical
sold off on limited turnover. U. S.
Rubber stocks were weak again. Steel
was heavy.
Rails Trend Downward.
The trend in the railway shares was
slightly downward. Texas and Pacific
yielded under the profit taking conse-
quent upon its rapid advance of yes
terday. Missouri Pacific came down with
the stock OF it's subsidiary. Baltimore
e. Ohio met liquidation, but not in any
large amount.
The hesitant tone of the market was
plainly due to doubts about the money
situation. Despite the gesture of de-
fiance traders had made to hardening
call rates. they evidently were none too
sure of the future. Reports that the
Chicago bank rate had been raised
we're denied, but the longer outlook
was admittedly uncertain.
The market left off around the best
Of the day. Consolidated Gas extended
its early gain and General Electric
turned strong. Coca-Cola had a s.
point Jump. There was, however. no in
crease In the turnover.

CASE THRESHING MACHINE
The principal basis for the pronounced
strength in Case Threshing Machine
has been the prosperity of the farm
implement industry. Added incentive
for buying was found in the rumor to-
day that plans for recapitalization
were under consideration, which might
result in split-up of the present shares
in the ratio of four new for each of
the present.
CERRO DE PASCO.-Cerro De Pasco

new high ground for the year Regard
ed as the lowest cost copper producer

more than others through an upward
revision of copper prices. The company
