NEW YORK, June 3-Further
mild convalescence was exhibited by
the stock market today, but the
buying pulse was still well below
normal.
While selected steels, motors, rub
bers, mail orders and specialties
managed to hold gains of fractions
to around point. numerous issues
were virtually at standstill when
the closing gong sounded
The tWo-hour turnover of approx
imately 100000 shares was one OF
the smallest for several weeks.
Steels received support on word
the Navy had placed orders for
two new giant battleships and %
other war craft amounting to some
s350,000000. In addition, the steel
mill operating rate was expected
again to slant upward next week.
Motors Are Improved.
Motors did fairly we'll most of the
time as talk was heard of better
than anticipated second-quarter
earnings for the major manufac-
turers, despite the recent sharp let
down occasioned mainly by labor
difficulties at Detroit and the Me-
mortal Day shutdown.
Easy money" was once more
stressed by action of Socony- Vacuum
in filing for registration with the
S. E. c. a S50,00O00 issue of 3 per
cent debentures with which to retire
the same amount of 3l2 per cent
debentures.
Although potential stock sellers
were restrained by thoughts of big
administration spending program,
speculative circles were none too
confident the projected Governments
business conferences would get any
further than previous peace move
mentS. At the same time, signs of a
fattening out of the recent down.
