Trading Slow

NEW YORK. Jan. 4 Pr
Moderate selling clipped prices
today in the stock market. There
were losses of l to around 8
points while most gains were
minor.
Trading was subdued. Most
depressed were steels. motors.
lrubbers, aircrafts, chemicals.
electrical equipments, railroads
and coppers. Others were mixed.
None showed any particular
strength although the utilities
managed to hold a slight for
ward edge.
Among lower stocks we're
Douglas Aircraft, RCA, Mont
gomery Ward, Chrysler. Bethle-
hem Steel, du Pont. General
Electric, Santa Fe Railroad and
United Air Lines.
General Motors opened on
5000 shares unchanged at ASA
and later it traded blocks of
10000 and 1900 shares at As.
Houston Oil had a block of
5000 shares up 2 at las, and
then it lost most of its gain. A
block of $500 shares of Electric
g. Musical Industries traded un-
changed at 47s.
Many Wall Street observers
are cautious about the markets
immediate future because of its
inability to mount a convincing
year-end rally and its evident
vulnerability to disquieting news.
Corporate bonds were firm,
