NEW YORK. April 24.—Cautious steps were taken by the bond market today as buyers and sellers assumed on-guard positions. Neither side took the offensive and prices fluctuated narrowly in each direction. Federal issues edged higher for the most part, although several bonds dropped rather sharply. Gains ranged to >4 of a point late in the session, while setbacks extended to 3-g of a point. Some failed to register any transactions. Few of the domestic corporates swung as much as a point. Some of the rail bonds were up or off major fractions, with the majority following a downward course. St. Paul 5s of 1975 ran into comparatively heavy offerings and recoiled more than a point. Major fractions were clipped from North Western 4r\,s. Baltimore & Ohio 4'2s and Frisco 4'2s. "Katy” 5s bucked the trend for a run-up of % or so. American & Foreign Power 5s showed to advantage by adding a major fraction, continuing a recently launched rally. Other utility loans, however, were hobbled by light deal ings. Industrials were all but neg lected. MEMBER TRADING ON EXCHANGE SHOWN Amounts to 20.04 Per Cent of All Round Lot Transactions During Week.

NEW YORK, April 24.—A break in Aluminum Co. of America, following a suit by the Federal Government for dissolution of the company under anti trust laws, widened sharply today as renewed selling hit all sections of the share list on the curb exchange. Aluminum Co. shares, ordinarily relatively inactive, encouraged heavier offerings and fell 16 points in early trading on top of a 7-point drop in the preceding session. As leading stocks on the “'big board’’ wilted under liquidation, selling spread in the curb list, particularly in re cent industrial favorites. Losses of fractions to more than two points were recorded in American Cyanamid B, Electric Bond & Share, Gulf Oil, Dow Chemical, American Manufacturing, New Mont Mining, Northern States Power “A” and Wayne Pump. Utilities retreated with the market, but showed better resistance, since they had been depressed for some time while industrial shares were rising. PNEUMATIC TOOL PLAN IS DRAFTED Chicago Firm Calls Special Meet ing May 25 for Action on Recapitalization. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 24 —A plan of recapitalization for Chicago Pneu matic Tool Co. will be submitted to stockholders at a special meeting May 25, it was announced. The plan pro vides for reclassification of the present $3 50 preference stock, increase of 250.000 shares in the common and creation of a new $2.50 convertible preferred. Revamping of the capital structure, the management explained in a letter to shareholders, is necessary because of the early maturity of $2,000,000 in funded debt, an accumulation totaling $3,169,862 on the preference stock and existence of $842,000 in notes payable. Under the plan the present out standing $3.50 convertible preference stock, plus accrued dividends, would be reclassified into one share of new $3 preference stock (convertible into m shares of common), with dividend cumulative from April 1, and 34 share of common stock. Common stock would be increased to 750,000 shares from 500,000 and 100.000 shares of new prior preferred stock, carrying a dividend rate of $2.50 a year, would be issued. Of the latter, each share would be convertible into l2^ shares of common. DOEHLER DIE CASTING OPERATES AT CAPACITY By the Associated Press.
