BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, May 7.—Leading stocks
encountered recovery difficulties in
today’s market and closing price
trends were indefinite.
A few specialities advanced sharply
on comparatively small turnovers and
resistance was displayed by others,
but vigor was lacking in either di
rection.
Business news, on the whole, was
comforting, although here and there
were signs the industrial picture was
clouding in spots.
Steel scrap at Pittsburgh, long con
sidered an economic barometer, was
reported to have suffers! another de
cline of 50 cents a ton, putting it down
about $3 from its Spring peak.
Official figures on last week's freight
loadings revealed the highest aggregate
since last November, but the increase
over the preceding week was less than
seasonal.
Rails pushed up briskly at the start,
with Santa Fe hitting a new top and
one block of 12,000 shares of New
York Central coming out at a frac
tional advance. These, with other
carriers, were pushed and pulled at
intervals. Farm implements also had
their innings, along with mail orders.
Activity was a bit more pronounced
than yesterday, but dealings were still
relatively slow. Transfers were around
850,000 shares.
Shares of National Supply and
Ow-ens-Ulinois got up about 5" points
each to their best levels for the year
or longer. Celanese also edged into
new high ground.
Performing on the upside most of
the time were Allied Chemical, Beth
lehem Steel, National Steel Clark
Equipment. Allis-Chalmers. Sears.
Roebuck, Westinghouse. Air Brake, J.
I. Case, International Harvester, Oliver
