BY w. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, June 80 UNSO
Stocks declined and rallied in a
dull and lifeless market today.
Uneasiness over the hardness Of
the Paris war debt parleys was
reflected in the early selling wave,
which forced prices of the leaders
] to 3 points lower.
But offerings of stock dried
up on the downturn in prices,
and the bears were not disposed
to continue their campaign" for
lower values.
PAGES Slows Up
. The whole market slowed down
to midsummer pace, and then
the leaders began their unsteady
upward march.
Only 100000 shares passed
through the market in the fore
noon, against 100000 in the
busiest day of last week. The
first half-hour produced 100000
shares and the next hour-and-a-
half only 100000 shares. The
market was correspondingly dull
In the early afternoon, with spec
ulative interest focused around a
few of the industrials.
J. I. Case was the outstanding
leaders of the Specialties, with a
6-point rise to aboue SO, and
United States Steel, after an
early reaction to 100, rallied to
l02. American Can dipped to
109A and rallied to 111h.
See-Sawing Characteristic
These see-Saw movements, with
many Of the favorites fluctuating
only fractionally, are characters
tic of a dull market which is
waiting for something to turn
up" Firming up Of the commod-
tty markets, with copper likely to
60 higher than 9 cents a pound
and June wheat sharply higher,
were also decidedly bulliSh factors.
The professionals accounted for
the bulk Of the turnover in the in

FEW UTILITIES

But oils Have Been Hit Hard
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, June 30.-In a
comparison of the low points of
the bear market Of 1921 with the
bottom levels established in this
years decline, a statistical study
prepared by a prominent wire
house, discloses that Of a total
Of 260 stocks of recognized stand
ing, slightly more than half
maintained a position above the
low points Of the 1921 depression
period.
This takes into consideration
stock dividends and splitups
which have taken place in the
past decade.
Utilities Hold Up Best
Analysing the more important
groups, 1t is shown Of a total Of
35 rail stocks, 1S were higher ut
their lows Of the current year
than in 1921.
Out of 16 utility stocks, only
one, International Tel and Tel
failed to hold above its 1921 low
level.
The oil shares were particularly
depressed, with a total Of 20 cut
of Is stocks breaking their 1921
support levels in the current
year.
Mining issues also displayed
more than average weakness,
with IS issues out Of a total Of
Is sinking below their bottoms of

Earnings Discounted
1t may not be generally real
lied, but the rise of more than
25 per cent in the market since
June 2 exceeded the entire range
of the year 1926.
Conservative quarters regard
this advance ample to discount

suming the development of fur
