Stock Market Steady:
Trading S|owest
In Nearly Year
Fractional Advances
Appear, but Many
Losses Remain
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press FINANCIAL Writer.

NEW YORK, June 2l.-The stock
market maintained its balance fairly
we'll today despite the lack of strong
buying incentives in any depart
ment.
Spotty recoveries appeared in the
first hour and, at the close, while
minus signs we're plentiful, fractional
advances were sprinkled over most
sections.
Dealings were negligible through
out, with transfers of around 100000
shares. one of the lowest turnovers
in nearly year.
Few customers showed up in
boardrooms, the majority following
the recently inaugurated custom of
observing Saturday as a holiday.
Financial Offices generally we're
manned by skeleton Staffs.
Timid bidding that came in during
the brief and rather pointleSs pro-
ceedingS was attributed partly to
the idea the drying up of offerings
yesterday might have been a sign
the market was again "oversold"
and in a position to rally on worth
while news.
While the business picture was
viewed as a bulliSh argument by
some commission house optimists.
taxes and spreading governmental
controls, brokers suggested, persisted
as handicapS The Russian German
riddle also was given as a reason
for market WEAKNESS.
Stocks attracting early support
included American Car & boundary,
U. S. Steel, Bethlehem, General
Mototrs. U. S. Rubber, Santa Fe,
Western Union. Standard Oil OF New
Jersey, Standard Oil of California,
Union Carbide, Woolworth, Kenne-
colt. American Smelling, Douglas

Among isolated weak performers
was American Airlines which
dropped to around bottom for l94l.
