Stock Market Turns
Quiet, With Prices
Narrow and Uneven
By Victor Eubonk
Assoeiated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Mar. 23.-Buying
enthusiasm waned in today's stock
market although scattered favorites
still attracted sound bids.
The list reverted to the doldrulns
after a fairly active start. Frac-
tional irregularity was the rule near
the fourth hour.
A certain amount of purchasing
again was based on rearmament
prospects. Profit cashing, though,
continued to retard numerous piv-
otals. Some offerings were based on
the thought that the recent rally
had been a, bit too swift. Labor
disputes remained as a chilling in
huence.
Failure of the market to respond
to the heavy Senate tax reduction
vote accentuated speculative and
investment caution.
Occasional gamers included Santa
Fe, Southern Railway, Standard
OIL New Jersey. Eastern Air Lines,
Sears Roebuck, Warren Petroleum.
United States Steel, Consolidated
Edison. Phelps Dodge and Denver &
Rio Grande Western.
