By The Assceioted pres,

NEW YORK, Oct. l9.-The
stock market slipped slightly to-
day without uncovering any
signs of weakness.
The decline was not surpris-

the vigorous nature of the adj

after sustained advances always
is anticipated.
Price changes ranged about q
point either way. There were
enough plus signs to impart an
air of steadineSs to the pro-
ceedingS.
Railroads were lower on bal
ances as were the oils, motion
picture, chemicals and coppers.
Other sections of the list were
mixed or steady, including steels,
motors and utilities.
Among lower stocks were
Pennsylvania Railroad, Sinclair
Oil, American Telephone, Ken
necott Copper, American Cyan
amid, Bethlehem Steel and
Boeing.
Higer were New York Central,
Standard Oil New Jersey,
Union Carbide, Youngstown
Sheet & Tube and Goodrich.
There were a few notable
blocks on the take, including Ma
tional Distillers 1000 shares up
"a, Dresser Industries 5000
shares up Ia. and Northern
Pacific 1000 shares of %.
Corporate bonds were quiet
with some sections firm. Gov
eminent securities in the over
the-counter market were fairly
steady.
