TOday's' Stock Market

/. NEW YORK B - The stock
market started out rather well TO-
day and then ran into some diff
cultieS in early dealings.
Aircrafts were especially weak
while motors were higher. Most of
the rest of the market was mixed.
Losses extended to around 2
points. Boeing, which started on
1000 shares off 70 at 635s, soon
widened its loss to points. Lock
heed, Glenn Martin, and United
Aircraft were down a point.
Studebaker, whose workers took
a pay cut to help the company
meet competition, opened on 1,5O0
shares up So at 1914 and continued
trading around that figure. Ameri-
can Motors was active and a major
fraction higher after the company
announced an IS per cent produc-
ton boost.
Lower stocks included US. Steel,
Sears Roebuek, Consolidated Edi-
son, American WOODEN, Southern
Railway, and American Airlines.
Going up were Bethlehem Steel,
General Motors, Radio Corp,
American Telephone, Santa Fe,
and Standard Oil (NJ).

his feud with Dempsey. The color

Thanks to the AS, the Yankees

winning streak that has boosted
them to within ga games of Cleve-

Wise old Casey was discreet
enough not to say anything that
might sound disparaging about the

pressing qualification that his club
SUI has nine more games to play

we play Philadelphia nine more
games while Cleveland plays them
only four more. Also we've got
only three more with Chicago and
five with Detroit while them other
fellas (the Indians) have six with
Chicago and 10 with Detroit"
The sweep of the four-game SER
