NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-While the
stock market ended the month and
the week with sizable net losses,
buying of steels and selected in
dustrials in todays brief session
gave the list a moderate recovery
tinge.
Prices edged forward at the start,
then faltered and came back in the
final half hour. Gains of fractions
to a point or so were retained by
favorites at the close. At that,
minus signs were plentiful and a
wide assortment Of issues held at
Fridays final quotations.
The Associated Press average of
go stocks tackled on an advance of
2 of point at A, but on the week
was off A. The decline for Novem-
bers amounted to 18 points.
Transfers of 335 $50 shares COM
pared with 241 .060 last Saturday. A
fat portion OF todays turnover was
accounted for by Commonwealth g.
Southern, which appeared in blocks
of 5000 to 10000 shares, and fin
ished unchanged at 70. The months
activity was the best since May.
Bullish Items Studied.
The days improvement was at
tributed partly to the idea of some
analysts the market was "oversold." !"
Other bullish items included word
that steel mill operations in the
Pittsburgh district next week would
hit new high and that last week S
department store sales continued
their year-to-year expansion.
Tax worries, as a market factor,
were assuaged somewhat by an
nouncement from Washington that
no new imposts would be levied re-
troactive on 1910 income of either
| individuals or corporations. 1t was
still realized, however, that big tax
boosts for 1941 were likely. Selling
for year-end income tax adjust
ments again was in evidence.
Among the better-performing
shares were United States Steel,
Bethlehem, Chrysler, Montgomery
Ward, Douglas Aircraft, American
Telephone, Anaconda. Westinghouse,
Du Pont, Dow Chemical, Interna-
tional Paper preferred, New York
Shipbuilding and Loew's
Most oils, rails, utilities and air.
crafts were narrow.
Edge Higher in Curb.
A shade higher in the curb were
American Cyanamid "B," Brewster
Aero, Creole Petroleum, Jones &
Laughlin and Humble Oil Volume
in this market was around lot ,0OC
shares, against 1900 a week ago.
The big board'-tacked on a
modest average gain Monday as a
flow of favorable dividends and
earnings statements tended to re-
vive sentiment. There was little
change in the encouraging business
picture Tuesday and European news
seemed less tense, but the market
| as a whole, was unable to make
headway.
Fresh tax fears and the acknowl-
edgement by England of heavy
shipping casualties and industrial
damage from Nazi air raids helped
touch off the worst slump of the
week on Wednesday. A steadying
movement appeared Thursday as
the belief began to arise that the
lengthy decline was due for at least
temporary upward reversal. Price
making influences were negligible
Friday and trends were indecisive
throughout.

Lead Price Cut Is Surprise
To Buoyunt Metal Markets

Copper dealers also reported their
trade had coasted into a calm spot.
The premium that metal in the re-
sale market brought over the pro-
ducer quotation of IL cents pound
was steadily whitfield down until at
week end prompt shipment copper
could be had at 1915 cents a pound.
Earlier this fall prompt delivery cop
per brought a premium of a full
cent or more.
japanese interests came back into
the export market for sizable ton
nages and were believed willing to
pay IL cents a pound despite the
fact some export metal was offered
at 10 cents. Dealers doubted that
any Far Eastern business had been
consummated during the week. A
split price of 10-11 cents continued
to prevail.
Supplies of zinc remained tight
but demand was light and the
market held quietly firrn at 7h cents

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-Buoyant
non n-ferrous metal markets were de-
flated a bit this week when lead
sellers surprised the trade with q
cut of Is of a cent a pound.
The reduction, which put lead at
5.65-570 cents, marked the first
dip in a price curve that started
rising last September. At that time
the quotation was lifted 10 of cent
to 5.00-5.05 cents and continued to
move forward in easy stages until
5.80-5.85 cents was reached early
this month.
The lower price accompanied a
falling off in demand, after more
than q month of often furious buy
ing, but failed to spur renewed in
quiry. According to estimates in the
trade consumers needs for Deem
ber were about $500 per cent COW
cred, hence little new business was
expected until users felt the need to

Backers of the several candidates

up interest in the two contests, with
the primary balloSing only a week
away. Meetings of clubs and COM
mittees formed to aid the candida

announced for tonight and nights
later this week.
The campaigns thus far have been
Iistless, and what discussion there
has been has been limited largely
