Profit Taking Cuts
Gains Of Aircraiis
In Uneven Market
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Asboctated PreAs Financial Writer,

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Aircrafts
enjoyed another early bulge In to-
days stock market, but later ran
into profit-cashing and lost most OF
their initial gains running to q point
or SO.
AS in the preceding session, busi-
ness prospects. earnings and divi-
dends provided the main stimulant
| for favorites. The coming long
weekend chilled the buying urge to
some extent and numerous potential
investors inclined to proceed care
fully pending clues as to the forth
coming congressional program.
Advancing tendencies predominant
ed at the opening on relatively active
dealings. Selling then cropped up
among recently fast sprinters and
the pace slowed. While plus marks
were well distributed near the
fourth hour, declines were plentiful
Recording highs for the year or
longer were United Aircraft, Grum-
man, Glenn Martin and Beech Air
craft. Ahead most of the time were
Bethlehem, New York Central. Great
Northern, Anaconda, Texas Co., Dis
tillers Corp, Westinghouse, Interna-
tional Harvester and Eastman Ko-
Edak. Faltering were Chrysler. Gen.
|eral Motors, United States Rubber,
Woolworth, North American, Balti-
more g. Ohio and United States
Gypsum.
