yesterday.
Neither is there any testimony
before the committee that any

By the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, March 2.-Auto-
mobiles and steels stood out in
front of the rest of the Stock
Market today.
Demand for these issues was
fairly good, although the total
volume of business was compara-
lively light as it has been for
some days.
At most the market pushed
ahead by around a dollar share
with the gamers predominating
Losses were infrequent in the
major groups and seldom extend
ed to a dollar share.
Chrysler, which lost 13s yester-
day, kept ahead most of the time
today. Although the company re-
ported record sales during 1850
earnings fell a little behind the
previous year. And it was indi-
Gated that the company didn't
expect to maintain a high earn
ings level because of the increas-
ing cost of doing business and
growing Government controls.
General Motors came out with
the information that it has re-
ceived more than SO billion in
defense orders. about one-quartel
of the entire dollar volume of its
military production in all o1
World War II.
Another overall influence on
the motor section was the 3la pei
cent increase in the factory price
of new cars permitted by Wash
ington.
Railroads, which turned in an
outstanding performance yester-
day, were fairly quiet today.
Carrier Corp. was a little more
active than usual and higher after
the company reported earnings
for the IL months ended January

against $1.84 a share the previous
IL months.
