CO. Stock Range Since 1927:
By VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, June 3O.-Persistent
war doubts received the principal
blame today for slip-shod stock
market performance.
While weakness was a rarity at
any time, strength also was con-
spicuously absent in most depart
ments. The best that could be said
of the session was that offerings
were exceptionally light and, here
and there, favorites were able to
tack on modest advances. Frac-
tional minus signs, though, were
plentiful at the close.
Transfers of around 300 900 shares
were among the lowest for the year
to date.
Potential buyers, brokers. said, IN
clined to keep their accounts well
trimmed pending more definite in
formation regarding the German
Russian conflict.
Home business developments re-
malned a sustaining influence for
individual stocks but growing ner-
vousness over Federal controls was
thought to have been further han
dicap.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

AUBURNDALE, Mass, June 30
During the week ending June 27
the index compiled by the McGill
Commodity Service, Inc, staged
one of the sharpest advances that
has been noted this year. Both in
dustrial and farm commodities
strengthened. and of the fourteen
commodity groups comprising this
index. twelve advanced, only one
declined, and one remained un-
changed from the previous week.
Strength in the Industrial In
deX was widespread and included
higher prices for building mate
rials, chemicals, fuels, non-ferrous
metals, paint materials, paper and
pulp, fine and coarse textiles. and
vegetable oils. In this group only
hides and leather were lower, and
that was a reflection of the price
ceiling established on hides by the
o. P. A. c S.
The Agricultural Index moved UP
to 1853 from TAB a week earlier.
Wheat, corn, oats, rye, cotton, eggs,
hay, flaxSeed, and butter all par
ticipated in the advance, while
only barley and potatoes finished the
week at lower levels The Livestock
Index staged one of the greatest
advances for the week.
