.
NEW YORK, June 26.-While air.
crafts, rails and selected industrials
edged upward in today's stock mar
ket many leaders elsewhere failed
to get toe hold on recovery.
In addition to the usual reluctance
to expand commitments at the ap-
proach of week end, the war news
just about balanced so far as buying
or selling incentives were concerned.
Cheer was derived from the 1000
plane bombing of Bremen. but in
decisive battle developments in
Russia and Egypt served as con-
servative argument in boardrooms.
The cloudy tax program again
proved bullish handicap.
The list exhibited modest i'm
provement at the start. Several
pivotal stocks stumbled later and,
in the closing hours, trends were
slightly mixed. Price variations
either way ranged from fractions to
point or so, with a few wider
spreads in isolated cases.
Dealings, fairly active in the
morning, slowed after midday and
transfers for the full proceedings
were around 100000 shares.
In front the greater part of the
time were Douglas Aircraft, Boeing,
United Aircraft, American Airlines,
Santa Fe. N. Y. Central, Norfolk &
Western. U. S. Steel. Chrysler, Wool
worth and Dow Chemical. U. S.

Rail Bonds Active.
The pace of trading in railroad
bonds continued to increase toward
the close of the market today and
gains of major fractions to more
than point were posted for many
of the active loW-priced issues.
Rejecting recent improved earn
ings from the carriers. railroad stock
prices also were bid up fractions on
the stock exchange.
Interest in other classes of loans
was light and outside the rails
no trend was evident.
Longer-term United States Gov
ernments continued to ease and
other maturities were about un-
changed. Foreign bonds sold lightly
