Stock Prices Advance
Under Modest Buying,
But Trading Is Slow
BY the Assoeiated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Modest
buying gave the stock market a
lift today.
A handful of Substantially the
steel group-bucked the trend, but
gains of fractions to more than a
point were we'll distributed.
Turnover remained close to yes
terday's rate which was the small
est in months.
Some demand may have been
prompted by rumors from Wash
ington that the administration
might be willing to consider a
lower tax increase than the $4,-
900 100000 originally requested.
Generally, though, the markets
attitude was one of extreme Wari-
ness. Concern over the length OF
the current showdown in many
segments of the economy was
rated as a major barrier to more
interest in stocks.
American Telephone rose more
than l point in advance of the
meeting of the board at which
the traditional 1925 per share
dividend on the capital stock was
voted.
Douglas Aircraft stood out with
an advance of more than 2 points,
while smaller gains were posted
for other aircrafts. including Boe-
ing. United, Glenn Martin and
Lockheed.
Several key steel issues turned
out to be balky. Among them
we're United States Steel. Beth
lehem and Republic. General
Motors and Chrysler also held
back.
Higher prices were paid for
Goodyear. Montgomery Ward,
Sears Roebuck. Electric Power &
Light, Kennecott Copper, Amer
lean Can. Union Carbide, East
man Kodak, international Paper,
Southern Pacific, Atlantic Coast
Line, Nickel Plate, Texas Co. and
Paramount Pictures.
Corporate bonds moved narrow
lly. Several United States Gov
ernments in the distant maturity
range tended lower in over-the-
counter dealings.
