the market held to an even course
with utilities and foreign dollar OBJ
legations making the best showing,
Brokers said steadiness OF the
market in the face of such light
activity was further evidence that
traders and investors alike h a d
decided to sit tight for the moment
and await more developments
from the British war zone before
either adding to present holdings

actions of 81, 934, $50, par value,
were the smallest in % years and
compared with s. ,726, 800 last Fri
day.
After fluctuating in a narrow and
irregular range during the fore
noon, the market trend stiffened
slightly in late dealings under sell
ective buying in the utilities and
foreign dollar groups.

Corn declined almost a cent at

although the latter was smaller
