NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-The stock
market today just about duplicated
its lopsided performances Of the
last several weeks.
It moved up by fits and starts IN
the forenoon, came to btandstllI
for a brief period, then edged over
into the losing column. While scat
tered firm spots were to be seen
throughout, declines of fractions 10
around points were widely dis
triDuted at the close.
Offerings never came out n any
important volume and transfers for
the five hours were around 100000
shares.
Business news was no better nor
worse than in January, on the
whole, and in many respects still
was viewed as a bolstering influence
for stock prices.
Chief Handicaps.
Chief handiCapS, brokers said, re-
manned in war fears, concern over
taxes and some apprehension as to
the course of the British-aid meas
ure in Congress.
A few rails did fairly well. De-
cember carrier revenues were placed
at a peak for that month since
1928 and forecasts were made Of
further traffic improvement over
the rest Of the year.
Steels. for an interval, acted as
though they wanted to get going,
but they lost momentum when the
American Iron & Steel Institute re-
year mill operations in the current
week would register a small de-
crease. Output was figured at 96.9
per cent of capacity, off 2 of
point. This should not have been
especially disturbing because the
drop was mainly caused by shut
downs for repairs.
Transit Stocks Lively.
In the share department Brook
lyn-Manhattan Transit and Brook
lyn-Queens Transit were lively mov-
ers in a narrow orbit. They turned
over in blocks of 1000 to 1900
shares
