Stock Leaders Drift

In Dull Session
Suspension Of Buying
Ruther Than Selling
Brings Setback
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writ

NEW YORK, Oct. 15-Leading
stocks continued to back water in
today's market, but it was case
of suspended buying rather than
pressure of real liquidation.
The fresh war crisis in the Solo,
mons caused some bullish contin-
gents to stand aside. while others
nghtened commitments here and
there on the idea the technical
correction of the lengthy upswing,
which began yesterday, might have
some further distance to go.
Best news of the session was the
Southern Pacific 81 dividend, first
since 1882. although this issue, as
well as other carriers. failed to dc
much in the way Of rallying. S. P
edged up % to l7A. new year S
top, after announcement of the
declaration but soon retreated. The
consensus was that the payment
in the light of the roads bulgine
income, was conservative and had
been pretty well discounted.
Mild irregularity was the rule al
the opening There were scattered
soft spots in the Anal hour, although
losses near the close generally were
in fractions.
A little encouragement was de-
rived from the slowness of dealings
on the downturn when it was re-
called that volume expanded sub
stantially on the recent recovery
push. Transfers today were in the
neighborhood of 100000 shares.
