NEW YORK. Oct. 2.—Stock mar ket prices backtracked today in the laziest full day's session in mortf than a month. Leaders dropped fractions to around 3 points at their worst but finished above their lows. After a fairly brisk start, at which the trend was lower, volume dwindled. Transfers approximated 800.000 shares. Profit - taking was apparent throughout the "war infant" clas sification which benefitted by Sat urday's abrupt rise. Utilities and a few’ specialties were fairly resistant * to the trend, but few’ got their heads above water. There was little in domestic news to force a retreat, brokers said, and the foreign picture remained about a* it had been Saturday. The fea ture seemed to be that Britain and France would not accept a peace insisted upon by Hitler until, in the words of Winston Churchill, first lord of the British admiralty, "we are convinced that he (Hitler; has had enough.” j The advance in the steel operating rate to 87.5 per cent of capacity from ’ 83.8 was about in line with expecta tions. The magazine Steel said, "The unprecedented wave of steel buying ! of the past four weeks has passed its i crest." but added that pressure for deliveries leaves mills the problem of providing additional producing fa ! cilities necessary to relieve heavy backlogs. In the meantime the American Iron and Steel Institute reported * • August payrolls in the industry were the highest for any month in nearly | tw’o years. September figures were | expected to show a continuation of the upward trend. Preliminary estimates of railroad freight carloadings for last week in dicated the Nation's carriers did some of the best hauling for many months. On both the Baltimore & Ohio and St. Paul roads loadings were the highest for any week in years. Some of the amusement stocks such as Loews and Pathe added small gains. Down most of the time were U.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.—With most traders awaiting the Hitler and | Chamberlain speeches in Europe, I quiet but persistent selling domi nated the grain trade today and prices were lower. * Wheat lost about 2 cents and corn and other grains more than a cent before enough buying power de veloped to steady the market and ' bring about moderate rallies.
