ASSOClbLeQ FIeSe FlNdQCldI writer.
NEW YORK, March 18.-The
stock market generally regained its
composure today after a mild early
shake-out blamed mainly on re-
vival of war nervousness.
Leaders dropped fractions to q
point or so at the start Losses
were reduced or converted into mod
est advances near midday. From
then on to the close trends were only
slightly uneven.
The ticker tape frequently was at
standstill, but there was a pickup
at the last. Transfers for the full
proceedings approximated 100000
shares.
A little selling cropped up in the
first hour, brokers said, because OF
overnight reports Nazi submarines
either were in or pointing toward
American waters. Prime Minister
Churchill offered confirmation with
the assertion German battle cruis-
ers, as we'll as U-boats, were in the
Western Atlantic.
Speculative quarters, however,
have digested a lot of sour news
lately and the submarine scare
proved comparatively brief. The
majority of business items was on
the bullish side, although tax fears
persisted and spreading strikes in
defense industries tended to restrain
some potential share purchasers.
Scattered rails, rubbers, Ship
buildings and specialties managed
to tack on advances. while motors,
steels and oils moved over a narrow
area.
Continued strength of major COM
modities again was viewed as
bolstering influence for securities.
Among the better stock performers
were senior issues of International
Paper & Power and General Gas,
which touched new highs for the
year. Others in the resistant class
included N. Y. Shipbuilding, Newport
News Shipbuilding. Bath Iron
Works, Dow Chemical, Eastman Ko-
dak, j. c. Penney, U. S. Steel, Boe-
ing, U. S. Rubber, Santa Fe, Atlantic
Coast Line, American Smelling and
General Motors.
Laggards most of the day in
cluded Chrysler. Bethlehem Steel,
Westinghouse, United Aircraft, CRU
