Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

Associated Press financial writer.
NEW YORK, April 10.-Repeated
selling sorties against the tradition
al leaders showed averages on a
war-shocked market a bit lower
today.
Prices moved forward and back
in step with the reverses and ad.
vances of the German expedition
ary forces in Norway. Paper and
steel stocks were diametrically OPP
posed in their movements, each lead
ing sections of the market in OPP
posite trends.
Morning reports of German sue
cesses, indicating a shutoff of Scan
dinavian shipping, forced paper
share prices to new 1910 highs and
pushed steels lower. Later reports
the British feet was in full action
ard that the Norwegians were fight
ing the Nazi invasion caused a
quick reversal of both trends.
Transactions approached 100000
shares, only about two-thirds of yes
terday's total, but still far above re-
cent trading levels. =
One of the freak turnarounds Of
the session was that of International
Paper preferred, which reached
new high, rising 11a points, then
dropped before the end to u point
under the previous close.
Armour and Wilson reached new
years highs, as did International
Mercantile Marine.
Others on the up side included
American Smelling and Phelps
Dodge. Traders attributed their
rise to advances in the price of scrap
capper and lead.
Resistant to the rise were United
States Rubber, Douglas. Glenn Mar
tin, Westinghouse, -Manville
and North American.
Bonds paralleled stocks. Conn
modities mainly were a little lower.
Wheat at Chicago was "a to Ia

"a to l cent higher. Cotton moved
S to 20 cents bale down. Foreign
markets were fairly firm.

CHICAGO, April 10. - Wheat

NEW YORK, April 10.-Despite a
steady trade demand for cotton
futures, following yesterdays large
turnover in textiles, the list tended
slightly lower today.
Disappointing cables from abroad
and May liquidation, hedging and
New Orleans selling, while not
heavy, were sufficient to check any
advancing tendencies. Foreign ac-
counts were on both sides of the
market, with buying and selling
orders about evenly divided.
Traders appeared to be awaiting
further developments abroad. Mid
afternoon prices were down / to 4
points; May (olD, 1910; July (old).
1914; January, 9.79.
Cottonseed Oil. .
Bleachable cottonseed oil futures
lost ground today as some of yes
terdays buyers took profits. Trade
selling, believed to be hedging
against crude oil purchases, also ap-
peared. e..
Midday prices were 2 to 6 points
lower. May, 6.83; July, 6.91; Sep
tember, Sos.
The list was steady early, but
failure Of lard to hold initial gains
and easiness In wheat encouraged
selling. Commission houses bought
on scale-down orders.
Crude oil was firm at 5A cents
bid in the Southeast and valley,
following sales at SIX and 5s cents
in the valley overnight. Texas was
quoted 5x-N, nominal.
