NEW YORK, June 5.-The news
generally was interpreted as bull
ish marketwise today and stocks fin
ished rather haphazard week with
recovery swing to the highest aver
age levels since late 1899.
Motors and steels led the come
back after an irregularly improved
start and at the best gains ranged
from fractions to more than point.
Peace issues, as during the past sew
eral weeks, retained much of their
popularity. but most war infants
managed to keep their equilibrium
and finish a shade advanced. Top
marks were reduced here and there
at the close and smattering Of
minor losses was in evidence.
Argentine News Studied.
The return of buyers was attrib-
uted partly to the Argentine mill
tary coup, viewed as another blow
at the Axis; the new coal labor
truce. which, it was hoped, meant
a quick settlement of the contro-
versy blamed for some selling
throughout the week; continuance
of mild initiation psychology and re-
neWed pressure of idle funds seek
ing profitable investment.
The lull in important European
war news still was restraining
element for some who inclined to
hold back bids pending the opening
of the next big Allied offensive.
Many customers called the summer
Saturday a holiday, and boardrooms
were sparsely occupied. Out-of-
town orders accounted for most of
the two hours volume of 732,95O
shares, compared with 8l5, 800 in the
preceding short stretch.
The Associated Press composite of
80 stocks was up 0.3 of point at

BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 5. Trade
members generally approved the
War Production Boards order this
week cancelling outstanding prefer-
ence ratings except those for Army
Navy, other Government services
and some specified lines.
1t was felt balance would be re-
stored to the goods market insofar
as civilian business is concerned
and that misuse of priorities would
be eliminated. Some quarters, how
ever, still believed it would be neces-
sary to set up an official ALLEGATION
program for civilian needs.
Aggregate business done by mills
was small. and Government awards
during the week were light.
In the woolen goods markets mills
continued to concentrate largely on
Government work in the mems wear
field, and material moved in re-
stricted volume.
