NEW YORK, Sept. 1 B-
Stock market trading fell away
to a mere trickle as prices faded
slightly early this afternoon.
Pivotal issues showed losses
Of fractions to around a point.
A few stocks managed to re-
main on the upside by narrow
margins.
In the absence Of clues to fall
business trends. traders were
reported keeping their positions
very light.
The business and economic
news gave them little to 60 on.
Another increase was reported
in instalment debt. Steel

Corporate bonds were higher,
Government bonds improved.
Now that the stock market
has taken its FIRST tentative
steps into the posa-Labor Day
period. there were still no clear
signs as to what the trend
will be.
For the moment, 1t seemed
to Wall Streeters to be neither
. major bear market nor q new
bull market. The big rise on
Friday seemed to have no par
ticular follow-through.
Martin Gilbert Of Bache 4,
Co., however. commented on
yesterdays session: THE fact
that prices could not be set
back after Fridays large adj
vance was heartening to buy
ers and thus provided the
incentive for the commitment
Of funds into equities.
