BY VICTOR EUBANK,

AsSUCldbtu FItbb FluhuCldl WTlDCEs
NEW YORK, June 21.-Stocks
loafed through another extremely dull
market session today and prices, on
the whole, recorded only small
changes. A few of the metals ex-
hibited quiet strength and there was
no especial pressure on other groups.
Sentiment appeared to have improved
somewhat. The close was slightly ir-
regular. Transfers approximated $780,
900 shares.
While grains suffered another re-
lapse and stimulating business and
industrial news was scarce, traders
showed great urge to unload their
holdings of equities. At the same
time, buyers were few. Most of the
usually active operators were said to
be out Of the market for the time
being.
Wheat broke more than 8 cents q
bushel, as large arrivals of both old
and new domestic Winter grain were
reported. Other cereals were rela-
lively weak. Cotton lost its early
gains, as did rubber and silver was
just about steady. Refined sugar de-
veloped strength. Bonds were mixed,
with United States Governments in
supply. Foreign exchanges were quiet.
United States Smelling shares got
up more than points at one time,
but yielded large portion of this
gain. Howe Sound, ex-dividend, was
bit higher, as was Cerro de Pasco,
and fractional advances were shown
by American Smelling, Dome, McIn-
tyre and Anaconda. The alcohols,
including National Distillers, Ameri-
can Commercial and Schenley. dis
played rallying inclinations. Wilson
"a gained a point and some Of the
sugars we're moderately higher. Allied
Chemical lost more than 2, and
others down fractions to a point or so
included American Can, American
Telephone, du Pont, General Motors,

that vehicles continuing up the avenue

$50, Receiver Moran stated, in order
to accommodate Government workers.

days.
Meantime efforts we're being made by
counsel to have date fixed In District

get as early a date as possible for this
