 New York, Sept. 2l.-(UP).- Tho stock market was more order ly today after its plunge yesterday on a war scare, although traders were still very cautious and the list balanced on hair-trigger.
 Fluctuations were narrow in all sections. Gains and losses of small amounts were about equally divid- ed throughout the list. M any is- sues were unchanged from the pre- vious close.
 Trading was light but the at- tendance in Wall street was heavy. Nervous traders fiocked to the street from their suburban homes instead of spending the Saturday on the golf links as they usually do. They were ready to unload thei- holdings on an instant's mo- tice. Some of them placed stop loss orders to attempt to reduce losses in event of a wild selling scramble. They studied the Italian news carefully especially the Ital- ian rejection of the League of Ma pCdS0 piuhs IudHJ a. war of broad proportions could be averted.
 At the opening smal lbuying or ders attracted by the lower prices produced yesterday helped many issues to advance. Some gained further for time and then set tied down to narrow fluctuations.
 Railroad issues made feeble re- sponse to the sharp rise in car loadings. Fractional advances wetre noted in Union Pacific, Atch- ison, New York Central and South ern Pacific.
 Chrysler and General Motors held around previous closing lev els.
 Utilities were fairly active. Steel shares made gains. Electrica

New York, Sept. h 21--(UP)- War fears sent the stock market down this week as timid traders dumped their holdings on the as- sumption stock markets might be closed in event of general con- flict in Europe.
 Some of the so-called war, ba- bies had a period of sharp gains under lead of Du Pont which made a new high since 1929. The lat- ter, along with electric boat, her. cules powder and few others closed higher.
 However, uncertainties under lying the European situation proved too much for the Wall Street imagination. Rumors in the absence of facts swayed the mar ket easily. At times the volume of unloading was 70 heavy that tick CTS fell behind the actual market, adding to the confusion on the floor and in brokerage offices.
 Nevertheless, prognostica r S were reticent about making any statements about the future. One said that predictions must now be placed on an hourly basis and con- tinue so until the war develop ments progressed sufficiently to project the future of Europe.
 Meantime there was no serious change in the business picture. statistical measurements recorded an advance in many lines. Steel production picked up a point. Car lna din ea wArn tlhe hest in qeVaral | years. Bank clearings rose 20 per cent above a year ago, Electrici- ty output was up nearly IF per cent.
 Steel shares made new highs along with war stocks early in the week and then dropped to losses reaching more than 2 points. Rails were bid up on higher carloa dings

 Bonds were dull and steady. The dollar was steadier today in terms of foreign currencies. The pound sterling declined slightly in dollar terms and then rallied to the pre- vious close. The French franc eased after an early rise, while the Dutch Guilder lost slightly. The Swiss franc rose in response to < gain in gold reported by the bank of Switzerland.

 FOR HALF BREED

Berlin, N. H., Sept. 21-(UP)-- Skiild woodsmen searched trackless forests near the Canadian border today for a kalf.breed Indian and . 14-year.old girl he Is believed to have lured away with him from Errol three weeks ago.
