Scattered Fayorites
Show Mild Strength
On Dismal Market
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer


NEW YORK, May 1.-The stock
market today got off to a crawling
start on the new month and, while
scattered favorites displayed quiet
strength, numerous leaders did vir-
tually nothing.
Hesitancy prevailed at the opening
Gains of fractions to around 2
points were fairly well distributed at
one time or another. Prices hard
ened here and there near the close.
Turnover of approximately 400 1000
shares was one of the smallest for a
5-hour stretch since last September
Mild investment demand was
based on earnings prospects and
dividends, plus the thought that
preinvasion selling had been pretty
well completed and, with the news
warranting, the next move might be
on the rallying side. Although
liquidation seemingly had dried up
to a trickle, buyers generally were
cautious pending domestic political
developments and further happen
ings abroad.
Among stocks Pacific Mills got UP
to 1914 peak. Standard Oil IN. J)
was in front as directors voted a
75-cent extra, boost of Is cents
from such previous payments.
Ahead were Schenley. Bethlehem,
U. S. Steel General Motors, Amer
ican Telephone, Eastman Kodak
and international Harvester. Be-
hind most of the day were Republic
Steel, Union Carbide, U. S. Rubber.
Douglas Aircraft and Woolworth.
