BY VICTOR EUBANK. Associated Press Financial Editor. NEW YORK, May 15.—It was fair weather for selected rails and indus trials in today’s stock market, but other categories shifted aimlessly in a fog. Dealings, almost as listless as last Saturday when the volume was the smallest since June 6, a year ago, found favored issues up fractions to a point or so. On the other hand steels, motors and utilities were generallly unsuc cessful in climbing out of a rut, and moderate minus marks were well dis tributed at the close. Most traders, only mildly cheered by constructive business news and the truce in the Jones & Laughlin and General Motors labor controver sies, inclined to step lightly in view of possible developments over the week end. Transfers were around 350,000 shares. Bonds were quiet but, on the whole, a trifle improved. Commodities, es peciallly grain and cotton futures, did better. Stocks pointing higher during the greater part of proceedings—Some fell back in the final few minutes— Included Santa Fe, Southern Railway, Northern Pacific, Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Pennsylvania, Great Northern, Celanese, Loew’s Para mount, Warner Bros., Eastman Kodak, Otis Elevator, Union Carbide, Corn Products, Owens-Illinois, Kennecott, Anaconda, Texas Corp., Barnsdall, American Can, American Steel Found ries, Republic Steel, Youngstown Sheet & Tube, Montgomery Ward, Caterpillar Tractor and American Water Works. Homestake Mining ad vanced sharply. In a restricted area to down mor* than a point were U. S.
