Stock Market Aided
By Short Covering
And Other Buying
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, February Mild
short covering and other buying by
professionals, based mainly on hopes
for good technical revival, bolstered
the stock market today although
many leaders we're more or less
neglected.
Steadier cotton prices and the
early tendency of some recently
weak grain futures to rally aided
sentiment for securities. The ques-
ton of whether this weeks sharp
slump in commodities meant a
nearby business recession still pro-
vided cautious argument for Wall
Street. The thought was expressed,
though, that the lengthy retreat of
stocks may have discounted a mod
crate economic setback. Numerous
customers held aloof or trimmed
accounts to await domestic and in
ternational developments.
Dealings were quiet from the start
and gains, generally, were restricted
to fractions near the close with

vored. Transfers for the two hours
ran to around 100000 shares.
Ahead most of the time were Rock
Island Railroad, Southern Pacific,
Great Northern Railway, Chesapeake
g. Ohio, Standard Oil of New Jersey,
Standard Oil of aClifornia, U. S.
Steel, Youngstown Sheet, Chrysler,
Sears Roebuck, Douglas Aircraft,
American Telephone, Western
Union, Johns s-Manville and Inter-
national Paper. Numerous issues
were unchanged and. here and there,
small minus signs persisted.
= Bonds did better, although excep-
tions were plentiful here.
In the curb, Sterling Engine
toppled, after a delayed opening OF
more than an hour, on word the
company proposed to file petition
in bankruptcy. Winnipeg Electric
and Brown-Forman Distillers eased.
In front were American Seal, Parker
