Fractional Advances
In Majority, but
Mony Issues Log
BY BERNARD S. O'HARA,

Associated Press Fina ncial Writer.
NEW YORK, June 6.-Steels, utili-
ties and scattered specialties ex-
tended the advance in today's stock
market but many leaders were stalled
by profit taking.
Although several of the so-called
war infants found the going bit
rough final plus marks of small frac-
tions were in the majority.
Bullish sentiment was sustained
partly by the favorable color of war
reports.
Some traders inclined to cash in
because of the weekend recess and
the fact the market had taken a
good recovery ride since last Wednes-
day. Offerings were well absorbed,
however, by those who thought the
forward swing still had plenty of
power.
Average Up Slightly.
The Associated Press average of
60 stocks was up OIL of a point at
35.8, its best level since March 5, and
on the week showed net gain of
IL points, biggest weekly Jump since
January. 1t was the fourth success
sive daily advance in the composite
The ticker tape loafed frequently in
the short session but there was ac-
tivity enough to lift volume to 1872
760 shares, largest for any Saturday
since May g. 1t compared with 49,
$50 in the previous Saturday session.
A break in major commodities
helped stem the demand for shares
to some extent. Cotton futures fell
$3.50 to s275 a bale. with peace talk
receiving the principal blame. At
Chicago wheat was off 81 to Ia cents
bushel, corn down 5s to = and hogs
nominally steady. Bonds generally
were higher.
Prominent stock gamers included
U. S. Steel, Bethlehem, North Amer
ican. Consolidated Edison, N. Y.
Shipbuilding, American Viscose, An
aconda, General Motors. Sears Roe
buck, Dome Mines, Boeing, Johns
Manville and Standard Oil of in
diana.
Register Declines.
In the losing division were Santa
Fe. Standard Oil IN. j., Dow Chem
ical, American Can, Du Pont, Union
Carbide, Allied Chemical, United
Aircraft, International Harvester
and Montgomery Ward.
Modest improvement in the curb
was registered for Pantepec, Amer
lean Cyanamid, Lake Shore. Amer
lean Gas and Creole Petroleum.
Gulf Oil and Bunker Hill dipped.
Turnover here aggregated 22,635
shares against 1880 previous Sat-
urday.
After four sessions in which the
Associated Press 60-stock average
was unchanged, the composite
jumped o.4 of point Wednesday,
with buying based mainly on the
previous drying up of liquidation.
The run-up was duplicated Thurs
day as buyers were cheered by per-
sistent aerial smashes at German
cities. The Japanese attack on
Dutch Harbor was taken in stride.
War babies which had taken beat
ing as peace hopes rose came back
Friday and again lifted the average.
1t was reasoned these stocks may
have been oversold amid the earlier
peace talk.

Scrap Rubber Drive
For 100000 Tons
Called Feasible
U. S. Rubber Estimates
Big Supply Gould
Be Collected
BY the Associated Press.

by INT hSSOCldtcu fIess.
NEW YORK, June 6-The United
States Rubber Co. estimated today
that about 500, 900 long tons of scrap
might be recovered by intensive col
lection.
In a survey covering the last five
years supply. the company calcu-
lated the following amounts Of scrap
rubber might be reclaimed:
194l-With / 800 ,0O0, 900 pounds of
tires available. 714000.000 pounds
consumed by reclaimers, leaving a
800 000, 900 pound surplus; about so
per cent of this recoverable;
ls4o-surplus, $4,000 900 pounds,
so per cent reclaimed.
Figures for 1889. 1888 and 1887
were called frankly speculative, !"
but the survey estimated the re-
coverably invisible supply at Is per
cent for 1899, or 900, 1000. .00G pounds,
and 10 per cent each for 1888 and
1887, or 100000 and $4,000, 900
respectively.
Restriction Of new tire sales
caused old tires to reappear in the
used market, the report pointed out
and therefore a shortage was fore
seen in the 1s41 surplus. The COM
pany expected to reap a good har-
vest of the 1910 surplus, however.
The average weight is Is pounds
per scrapped tire. The industry
generally agrees that about IS per
cent useable rubber is yielded from
scrap.

NEW YORK, June "a relatively

characterized wholesale market ac-
tivity during the week, Dun g. Brad
street, Inc, reported today.
Some large store buyers, in to
watch developments. reported that
they had been issued mo buy" Or
ders for the time being.
Despite the removal of the i'm
mediate threat of inventory limita-
tions, the possibility of restrictions
was still the chief topic of conversa-
tion among buyers and sellers. Sell
lers frequently reported receiving
requests for the deferment of ship
ments and outright cancellation of
contracts. Some buyers used late
delivery as a reason for refusing
merchandise.
Shifts in Demand Seen.
Shifts In demand accompanied the
change in buying psychology. Orders
largely concentrated on goods with
ready sale and quick turnover. In
some instances retailers were re-
ported canceling orders for staples
to take in fresh seasonal stocks.
There was evidence of more shop
ping around among various sources
as retail buyers struggled with the
problem of fitting their own ceiling
prices into those of wholesalers and
manufacturers. An increasing pro-
portion of bookings was for small
accounts. Sellers who had been
solidly booked few weeks ago re-
ported that as result of cancella-
tions small dealers were getting
some merchandise which larger
stores had contracted for earlier.
Shoe Markets Spotty.
"At the shoe markets in Boston
st. Louis and San Francisco, buying
was spotty, ranging from reports Of
exceptionally good demand in San
Francisco to sluggish turnover in
Boston.
The apparel showing in Chicago
booked fair volume of open orders
during the first half of the week,
while continuing to reflect uncer-
tainty over pricing policies. Initial
reports indicated a decline of ap-
proximately 20 per cent in bookings
compared with last years market.
Recorders on seasonal goods were
mainly for small quantities and i'm
mediate delivery. Demand contin-
ued heavy for bridal apparel and
gifts. A number Of silverware lines
were reported withdrawn because of
difficulty in obtaining sufficient sup
plies of metals. Yard goods sold well
in novelty cottons and rayon sport
weave fabrics. Spun rayons and
