Stock LIST Narrow;
Both Selling and
Buying Scarce
Most Price Changes
Held to Fractions;
Dealings Slow
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer,

NEW YORK, June 20.-Selling
still was negligible in today's stock
market but scarcity of real buying
demand kept trends cloudy.
There was no change for the bet
ter in the war news and many Gus
toners who might have joined the
bidding ranks stood aside to await
outcome of the momentous Roose-
velt-C Churchill conferences. The tax
picture also remained as an argu-
ment against getting too bullish, at
least for the time being.
Dealings, fairly active at the open
ing, tapered off in the latter half Of
the brief proceedings and transfers
Appropriated 125,000 shares.
While a few blue chips were up
or down point or so at the close,
price variations generally were in
minor fractions.
Wall Street retained little of the
cheer derived from the surprise de-
claration of a 50-cent dividend on
Erie common and certificates, first
such disbursement by any Erie Co.
in 76 years. Both the junior stock
and certificates were up fractions
most of the time.
Among falterers the greater part
of the two hours were United States
Steel, Chrysler, General Motors,
American Telephone, Santa Fe,
Anaconda, Sears Roebuck, WOOL
worth, Douglas Aircraft, Du Pont,
Johns-Manvilie and Owens-Illinois.
Occasional gains were posted for
Consolidated Edison. North Ameri-
can, Southern Pacific, Goodyear.
Eastman Kodak. Glenn Martin.
Electric Power & Light and Union
Carbide.
Bonds and commodities we're un-
even.
In a narrow curb modest plus
signs were acquired by Creole
Petroleum, American Cyanamid,
Pennroad and Aluminium of America.
Slipping tendencies were exhibited
by Phoenix Securities, New Jersey
Zinc and Glen Alden Coal.

Churchill
Continued From First Page.)

troop trains might have to pass.
Most of the exiled governments in
London have been able to keep in
touch with sources in their home
land and would get such informa-
ton.
London reports that Prime Min
lister Churchill was seeking quick
United States help in stabilizing the
Mediterranean front we're taken to
indicate the British believed a tre-
mendous German drive against Suez
was impending, if not already under
way.
AS for the Pacific, word from
China that the Japanese were pre-
pairing a blow against Siberia was
being taken with increasing serious
ness.
The exploratory japanese sallies
against the Aleutians, it was said,
might we'll have been made primar-
lily to establish reconnaissance bases.
These bases would be used to send
word of any arge-scale American
conveys bearing aid for the Red
Armies in Siberia.
Observers assessing the world mil
itary situation saw American pro-
duction power slowly tipping the
scales in any long-range view OF the
war. They believed the Axis, there
fore, would try for a quick victory.
The immediate task of the Presi-
dent and the Prime Minister was
pictured as that of distributing
available strength to meet Axis
thrusts and developing Allied coun-
terdrives. The Axis strategy was
thought to follow these lines:
In Africa the Germans would try
to exploit the break through in the
western desert with smash into
Egypt and toward the Suez Canal
An attempt would be made to rush
to this new battlefront the strong
forces long immobilized in Italy and
Greece.
This would involve the use of all
available units of the Italian fleet
under an umbrella of combat planes
based on Italy, Crete and African
coastal points wrested from the
British.
In Southeastern Europe there
would be an all-out drive toward
the Caucasus oil lands. 1t might
be coupled with a push toward Suez
from the north. Either by way of
Crete and Syria or through neutral
Turkey. Any successful drive
through Turkey also would flank
Russian armies holding the Baku-
Batum area.
From Western Europe the Ger
mans would unleash an intensified
air-sea campaign against British
| and United States shipping. Thu

Chicago Grain
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the hSSOCldtcc FIcss'
CHICAGO, June 20.-The wheat
market recovered its equilibrium to-
day after yesterdays slump OF more
than a cent a bushel, but prices
could make only fractional gains.
Brokers said the market appar-
emily was still under pressure OF
moderate hedging sales associated
with steadily but slowly expanding
movement of the new crop. Most
of the new wheat. they said, is going
into storage for Government loans,
since rates are well above prices
farmers can obtain at market, but
fear was expressed in some quarters
that a wet harvest may result IN
increased quantities of low-grade
grain not eligible for loans coming
on the market.
The pit absorbed enough buying
from professional traders covering
previous short sales and from mills
to lift prices about u cent at times,
but there were frequent reactions TO
around or slightly below the previ-
GUS close. Action Of other grain
prices was similar.
Kansas City reports told OF in
creased apprehension over delay OF
new wheat harvesting and lowering
of yield and quality because Of wet
weather. This has stimulated a
more friendly attitude toward good
milling wheat on the part of proc
essors. About 10 per cent OF yes
terday's supply in that market was
taken by millers. Dealers as well
showed more inclination to retain
old wheat stock against possibility
of a large amount Of high moisture
or low average protein 1912 wheat
being available.
The modern miller survey said
early threshing returns indicated
Weld has been high although the
crop is relatively low in protein.
other reports were that as more
new wheat comes in wider varia-
ton in grading appears although
the average continues high and rep
resentative of good yields. Wider
ranges in protein content are ap-
pearing though many dealers have
not yet revised their opinion that
the average for the Western belt
as a whole would not equal that
of the past two seasons.
At IL am, wheat was VI lower
to % higher compared with yester-
days finish, July, 119h; Septem-
ber, 121h. Corn, "a of to u up;

WASHINGTON. Jan. 16 (INS)
Sea warfare took turn in
Americas favor today with an
nouncement by the navy that q
17OOO-tOn japanese ocean liner
had been sunk by an American
submarine The Jap ship belonged
10 the Yawata class, the navy did
not further identity ITS victim.
Observers drew the inference
that the boat was being operated
eitheraas troop transport or as
an aircraft carrier.
Lloyds shows that the Yawata
class boats are among the best
and SpeedieSt in Japan's merchant
marine. They were completed IN
1889 and arc modern throughout.
