By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 16.-Securities
markets had a slight chill today de-
spite the advance of Spring, and
numerous leading issues edged back
q little following yesterdays rise.
Washington news was about
standoff, brokers said. While a jot
or two of cheer was derived from
the indications Of breaking up of
the legislative jam contained in the
Senate's defeat of the McCarran wage
amendment, the Presidents signing
of a resolution appropriating $750,000
for an investigation of American
Telephone g. Telegraph was meas
ured by a drop of points in the
shares.
The market setback did not amount
to much in the aggregate. The
Associated Press average of 60 stocks
declined only o. of a point to 35.2.
Trading rocked along at slightly
slower hourly rate than the preced-
ing session, with only 300,500 shares
traded. The decline came too late
to pull the bulk of the list down,
but most of the more active issues
closed lower.
At 2Sla u S. Steel gave up Z a
point, General Electric was down "a
to 21as. while Kennecot moved up
ss to Is. Slight weight was taken
on by Consolidated Gas and Anaconda.
Small fractions were Clipped from
Schenley, N. Y Central, National Dis
tillers. General Motors and Chrysler.
Somewhat larger were the fractions
taken from Bethlehem Steel and
American Can.
Preferred shares. most of them in
the speciality group, led the class with
gains which ran from to points.
