Low-Priced Issues
Hold Spotlight in
Stock Market
Most Leaders Shift
Indiffereptly Over
Marrow Rones
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Asscoiatel Press Financial writer


NEW YORK. sept. 1.-THE stock
market continued Its penny serenade
today as low-priced issues generally
dominated the ticker tape while
leaders shifted indif1erently over .
narrow range.
As . group rails did fairly we'll
after . hesitant start, but the ma
tority at these slipped under the
best. Small fractional advances
were well distributed In the, final
hour although minor declines were
plentiful and numerous stocks were
unchanged. Stable blocks Of spe-
cialties selling under $40 helped put
the days total at around 4oo, 900
shares.
Buying predicated on individual
situations provided the main bull
wark for the list. Bullish forces on
the whole still leaned toward con-
servatism pending settlement Of
anti-infiation and tax questions and
the appearance Of more impressive
war bulletins.
In the stock division new tops for
the year or longer were posted for
American q Foreign Power common
and second preferred, International
Telephone, Panhandle Producing
and Chicago d Eastern Illinois "a
United States Distributing preferred
touched . new 1l-year high.
In front the greater part Of the
day were Santa Fe, New York Cen
tral, Union Pacific, Southern Rail-
way, Great Northern, United States
Steel, Montgomery Ward, Sears
Roebuck, Johns s-Manville and West
ern Union.
Among occasional losers were
Bethlehem Steel, American Tele-
phone, Texas Co., Anaconda. United
States Rubber. Boeing. Genera
Electric, Consolidated Edison and
Public Service OF New Jersey.
