NEW YORK, July 3.-Pre- holiday
apathy dominated the stock market
today and, while specialized strength

There was some further trimming
of commitments as insurance against
possible untoward happenings over
Monday when principal exchanges
will recess for the celebration OF
independence Day. Numerous GUS
toners. brokers and clerks remained
away from the financial sector and
virtually all commission houses were
manned by skeleton staffs. The re-
suit was one of the slow sessions Of
the year, with only about $4,000
shares changing hands.
Commodities dipped substantially
in early trading. apparently reflect
ing action of the House late yester-
day in upholding the Presidents
veto of the antisubsidy bill. but rail-
lied eventually. Bonds steadied un.
der leadership of rails.
While imitation sentiment seemed
to have tapered of somewhat as a
speculative and investment infiu-
ence, there still was enough left to
prevent any real liquidation of Sc
curities. In addition. the continued
flow of pleasing war news and the
existence of large scale idle funds
in the hands of the public served
as antlselling arguments. Utility
preferred were a feature.
