Changes in Fractions
By the Associated Press

under the influence of United
States Rubber which was off more
than 2 points on a reduced divi-
dend declaration.
United States Gypsum skipped
more than points as result Of
management difficulties. but other
building materials shares were un-
affected.
American Wooden was off more
than q point on a plunge IN
earnings.
Some of the rails were strong.
but they were Offset by dips else
where in the group. Most of the
chemicals were fractions to
around a point higher
The even keel of the market as
whole was heartening to those
who look for a challenge OF the
1949 highs. Wednesdays advance
put the average list within strik-
ing distance Of the best level of
this year attained in the current
mid summer railing.
Stocks on the upside included
Nickel Plate, Union Pacific. South
ern Pacific, Gulf Oil, Twentieth
Century-Fox. American Tobacco,
international Paper. Philip Morris.
American Can, Eastman Kodak,
Du Pont, Dow Chemical. Allied
Chemical, Sears Roebuck, Cater

Tending down were Santa Fe.
New York Central. Texas Co.,
