Stock Prices Continue
Mixed in Small Range
With Trading Quiet

NEW YORK, May 12.-The
stock market made little headway
today. Prices were a pretty even
mixture of gains and losses. Trad
ing was very quiet.
The lack of activity was notice
able from the opening bell. The
usual accumulation of weekend
orders was absent. There were
no sizable blocks sold.
Most of the price changes were
in fractions and many of them in
small fractions.
Many traders felt the dullness
would crop up frequently until the
Supreme Court has ruled on legal
ity of Government seizure of the
steel mills.
Hopes of settlement of the oil
strike were a little brighter. Some
of the smaller companies have
signed and one of the major op-
|erators-Standard Oil California
has reached an agreement.
United States Steel, Bethlehem
and Republic were down fractions.
Among the oils, Standard Oil
(New Jersey was up a bit.
The advances included Good
rich Rubber. Caterpillar, Dome
Mining, American Cyanamid,
Allied Chemical, Santa Fe, Union
Pacific and Johns-Manville.
Among the declines were
Chrysler. Boeing Aircraft, Ana
conda. Kennecott. Du Pont
Amerada. Baltimore and Ohio
Eastern Airlines and United States
Gypsum.
On the bond market corporate
prices were a fairly even scram-
BILE of advances and declines with
price changes narrow and activity
light. Governments were steady
in over-the counter dealings.

was lifelong resident of Manteo
Funeral services will be conducted
