into new high ground for the year
and a number of industrials dip
ping to lowest levels since last June.
The direction was moderately up
ward at the start as bidding for
carriers brought in support for other
categories. The rise soon lost vlgor,
however, and gains of fractions to
point or so were reduced or elimi-
mated. Uneven trends were the rule
at the close.
Dealings picked up little mo-
mentum in the first hour, then
slowed appreciably. Transfers for
the full proceedings were around
400 900 shares.
There was not enough change in
the news picture to inspire pro-
nounced speculative shifts in either
direction, brokers said While de.
fense spending and initiation psy-
chology were still seen as important
market props, restraining factors
apparently remained in war nervous
ness, tax fears and worries over
growing Government business con-

Persistent strength of import
staples such as cocoa. coffee. sugar

bolstering influence.
