Stock Market Dull
In Narrow Range
Al Week sCIose
Few Aircraft, Specially
Issues Goin; Many
Leaders Down
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
ASSocia ted Press Financial Wi. ~

NEW YORK, May 31.-The bak-
er's dozen that appeared in Wall
Street today bought a few aircrafts
and speciality stocks in driblets and
left many leaders to shuttle indif-
ferently behind minus signs.
Commission houses were manned
by SHELTON stats as most habitues of
the financial sector extended yes
terday'S holiday over the week end.
The story, however, was told by the
tWo-hour volume of around loo, 900
shares, smallest since last August.
Notwithstanding slackness of
dealings. those customers who
showed up in boardrooms were not
particularly bearish. The consensus
was that the market. as a whole.
acted pretty we'll in the face of bad
news from Crete and a scarcity OF
outstanding encouraging develop
ments at home.
Margins at Low Ebb.
AS a matter of fact. most brokers
were of the opinion large holders of
stocks were unwilling to liquidate at
present prices. Margin accounts
were said to be at the lowest ebb in
years, the greater proportion of buy
ing in recent months having been on
cash basis with purchases going
into the strong box"
Spreading Government controls
and the cloudy tax program were
seen as speculative restraints but. on
the other hand, mounting business
and industrial indices provided a
sort of offset.
The market had to contend with
the establishment of priorities for
all forms of steel and the likelihood
steps would soon be taken to limit
civilian consumption of crude oil,
gasoline and copper. Announcement
of the appointment of Secretary
Ickes as petroleum co-ordinator for
national defense was viewed as
case in point.
None too cheerful marketwise was
the warning of Prime Minister
MenzieS of Australia that the for
tunes of the Allies may not yet have
touched bottom and that the British
need of equipment is growing more
serious daily.
Bonds Irregular.
Bonds and commodities exhibited
as much irregularity as stocks.
In the share division Consolidated
Aircraft reached a new high for
the year. Supported also were Doug
las Aircraft, Boeing, United Air
craft, Chrysler, Bethlehem Steel,
Southern Railway. Sears Roebuck,
Phelps Dodge, New York Shipbuild-
ing and American Telephone.
New lows for 194l or longer were
recorded for Consolidated Edison,
Atlantic Refining and North Amer
lean. Backward were General
Motors, United States Steel. Allied
Chemical, Westinghouse. Chesapeake
& Ohio Standard Oil New Jersey)
and United States Rubber.

tracted some bidding In the curb
but Republic Aviation and Niagara
Hudson Power slipped. Numerous
issues were unchanged.
