NEW YORK, May 1s.-Investment
funds remained partial to peace
rated stocks today, although scat
tered leaders in the weeks market
recovery ran into profit cashing
difficulties.
Prices generally were improved
from the start. Specialties exhib-
tied early strength, along with air
transports, mail orders, motors and
amusements. Steek then stepped
to the fore. Gains of fractions to
2 points were in the majority near
the close. Activity expanded on
purchasing flurries. Transfers for
the full proceedings were around
1,500, 900 shares.
Bullish arguments still were based
on the belief consumer demand
would be exceptionally heavy when
manufacturers get back to normal
operations. Another batch of pleas
ing dividends and earnings sum-
maries bolstered sentiment. Re-
ports of Japanese efforts to get out
Of the war served as q cautionary
influence.
