Stock Prices Mixed;
Spectators Again
Drive Central Ahead
ey the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Strong
selling in a small group of stocks
cross-currents Of buying and
including New York Central
swept the stock market today
into an irregular tangle Of gains
and losses.
New York Central failed to
open until we'll into the third
hour Of trading as log jam Of
buying orders hit the floor of
the New York Stock Exchange
and found no comparable num-
Der Of sellers.
Governors Of the exchange
halted all trading in the stock
on the exchange until they could
match the orders and arrive at
an equitable price. Two hours
and. 20 minutes after the open
ing of the market. New York
Central opened on a block Of
$4,000 shares up Ts at rs.
Demand for Central stock
arose from the proxy fight
launched by the Robert r..
Young interests in their attempt
to gain control of the railroad.
Spectators and others are buy
ing the stock in the belief that
1t will go still higher as Mr..
Young and the management at
tempt to add to their holdings
OF common stock, each share Of
which has one vote.
Price changes throughout the
stock market ranged to around
2 points either way.
The best major divisions were
the railroads. aircrafts. airlines.
motion pictures and utilities.
Under selling pressure were
the motors, chemicals and the
tobaccos.
Other sections were steady.
Allegheny Corp, a holding
company controlled by Robert
r. Young, opened on the two
blocks Of 10000 shares each un-
changed at AZ and then the
stock move higher.
Also higher were Montgomery
Ward, Boeing. United Aircraft,
the Lackawanna Railroad. Pan
American World Anyways and
Twentieth Century-Fox.
Lower were Reynolds Tobacco
3D." Liggett & Myers. Ameri-
can Tobacco, Chrysler. Good
year. Consolidated Edison and
General Electric.
Corporate bonds were gener-
ally higher. Government issues
in the over-the-counter market
we're easy.

Lower Scrap Prices
Help Steel Makers
Offset Reductions
BY The Assoeioted Press

CLEVELAND, Feb. 15.-The
sharp drop in scrap steel prices
during the last seven months is
helping the steel industry offset
some Of the price concessions and
freight absorption that have re-
suited from slack demand, Steel
Magazine said yesterday.
Standard base prices of steel
remain intact. the weekly metal
working journal reported. and
quoted its price composite on
finished steel unchanged last
week at $113.91 a net ton.
But. Steel added:
More and more price extras
are being reduced or waived,
freight absorption by mills Is
increasing. premium base prices
are continuing to fade. and steel
jobbers are making price conces-
sions and offering free services
to attract customers"
United States Steel Corp. an
nounced a $4-a-ton cut in quail
ity extra of trimmed steel. and
a number Of other producers
will follow suite, Steel said. Sew
eral Eastern rollers of narrow,
cold-rolled carbon steel strip cut
their premium base prices 81
to 81 a ton, and three producers
OF steel plates wiped out pre-
miums. the magazine continued.
These changes were on prices
which do not figure in steel's
composite price index.
