NEW YORK, July 18-^WPj—1The
stock market rallied selectively to
day but many leaders continued
to inhabit the losing division. Deal
ings were the slowest of the past
three weeks.
Mild irregularity persisted until
the final hour when short covering
and timid investment demand re
duced early declines and put as
sorted oils, motors, rails and spe
cial issues t«o fractions to 2 or
more points. There were a few
jumps of around 5. The close was
no worse than moderately irregu
lar. Transfers of 920,000 shares

before and were a low since June
3°.
Buying was predicted partly on
the idea that, after this week’s
rest at generally easier levels, the
list was in shape to resume the
advance. The tax veto and the sub
sequent action of congress was
thought to have been pretty well
discounted marketwise.
Sharp Drop
The sharpest drop in the short
interest, as of July 15, since June,
1S46, was revealed after the close.
The Associated Press 60-stock
composite was up .2 of a point at
67.2 after three successive declines.
It was the narrowest market since
July 10. Of 963 issues registering,
392 fell and 341 rose.
Armour preferred and prior pre
ferred were the day’s wide climb
ers. The former was up 5 points at
182 and the latter 3 1-2 at 126 as
plans were announced for redeem
ing the former and paying off ar
rears on the latter. General elec
tric was up only 1-2 on record
peacetime earnings. Increased and
extra dividends lifted Lowenstein
1 1-2 to 26 3-4, Bayuk Cigars 1-4 to
23 and Alex Smith Carpet 1-8 tc
36 7-8.
At 1947 peaks were Texas compa
ny up 2 at 67, Standard Oil (NJ>
1 1-4 at 78, Pure Oil 1 1-8 at 28 3-8
and Continental Oil 7-8 at 46.
Dow Chemical was off 3 at 167
and du Pont 1 1-4 at 192 1-2.
Lesser casualties were Republic
Steel, U. S. Rubber, Goodrich,
Deere, J. I. Case, Boeing. Western
Union "A”, Consolidated Edison,
Anaconda, Phelps Dodge, J. C.
Penney, N. Y. Central, Pennsyl
vania Railroad and Chesapeake
and Ohio.
Bonds were uneven. Cotton dip
ped and came back to finish up 55
cents to $1.40 a bale. At Chicago
wheat yielded 1 5-8 to 3 cents a
bushel, corn was off 3-8 to up 1 1-2
and oats off 3-8 to up 1-4.
Among forward curb learners
were Soss^Mfg., Cities Service,
National Transit and Glen Alden
Coal. Backward were Croft Brew
ing, Electric Bond and share and
Illinois Power. Turnover here was
240,000 shares versus 270,000 yes

Last-Hour Rally Brings Top
Carriers Out Of Minus
Column
NEW YORK, July 18 — A
last-hour rally in the bond market
today lifted selected rails and
other corporates out of losing terri
tory although there were a num
ber of leaders which failed to
respond.
Until the late flurry of demand
many issues had drifted fractions
to more than a point lower in light
dealings. Total sales of $3,330,000
for the day were the smallest
since June 30 and compared with
$5,980,000 Thursday.
Even the new world bank isues,
which had contributed heavily to
larger market sessions earlier in
the week, suffered a lessening of
activity, sales of these bonds on
the stock exchange amounting to
$769,000. The 3s finished unchang
ed at 102 10-32 while the 2 l-4s
managed a narrow improvement
to close at 101 12-32.
Among better gainers among
the corporates were Chicago &
Eastern Illinois incomes at 43 1-2;
Chicago Railway 5s at 77, Missouri
Pacific general 4s at 29 and Chi
cago Great Western 4 l-2s at 51.
Also ahead were General Realty
4s, Lautaro Nitrate incomes,
American Telephone 2 3-4s of ’61,
Lehigh Valley Hudson terminal
5s, Columbia Gas and Electric
3 l-8s, Walworth 3 l-4s and Union
Pacific 2 7-8s.
Remaining on the downside were
Western Union 5s, Manati Sugar
4s, Wisconsin Central Superior &
Duluth 4s, New York Central con
solidation 4s, Brooklyn Union Gas
4s, St. Paul Income 4 l-2s ana
Illinois Central 4 3-4s.
Denmark 5 l-2s moved ahead a
point to 97 in a quiet foreign dollar
section.
U* S. Government obligations
held close to previous levels in
over-the-counter trading with the
2 l-2s of Sept. 1967-72 off 1-32 at
105 23-32 bid.

NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK, July 18—(A5)—Cot
ton futures closed firm today with
gains of 55 cents to $1.40 a bale.
The market dirred to losses of
more than $1 a bale as early liqui
dation met indifferent trade sup
port, but thereafter the trend was
generally higher on mill buying
and short covering.
Early weakness reflected favor
able private crop reports and dis
appointments over the futures drew
some strength from more active
selling of textiles by mills, with
sales of print cloths for second
quarter of 1948 and prices for goods
generally higher.
Private advices noticed some im
provement in mill buying of spot
cotton for prompt and summer
shipment. The movement of new
crop cotton in the Rio Grande
Valley was reported heavy.
Futures closed 55 cents to $1.40
a bale higher than the previous
close.
