Activity was confined chiefly to routine mill buying and covering. Hedge selling and commission house liquidation depressed prices as much as 50 cents a bale in early trading but the market later improved as traders awaited fresh developments on the sub sidy program and the domestic purchase plan. December liquidation and switching into later months was a feature.

STOCK DECLINES DOMINATE CLOSE NEW YORK, Nov. 17.— (/P)-*Scat tered stock favorites managed to keep in the plus column today while numerous market leaders stood still or slipped to slightly lower levels. A little short covering toward the last transformed a few losses into gains but irregularly lower tendencies prevailed from the start although offerings were light throughout. Declines predomnat ed at the close. The usual week-end caution stall ed many potential purchasers. In addition reconversion doubts, bas ed on the big Western front push and the possibility of a quick European victory, accentuated conservatism. Thoughts of ex panding tax selling from now on proved a handicap and m,any cus tomers remained aloof to await congressional moves and more light on 1945 taxes. Dividends and earnings continued as props. The Associated Press 60-stock average was up .1 of a point at 54.6 owing to timid last-minute comebacks in several rails. Of 850 issues appearing. 332 were down, 175 up and 243 unchanged. Transfers totaled 705,660 shares compared with 847.260 Thursday and were the smallest for a full session since Oct. 31.
