By VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, May 24 —Tlie stock
market swung idly with the war
bulletins today and generally failed
to develop a definite trend.
A selective rise of fractions to 2
points at the start was succeeded by
a let-down and thereafter shifts in
either direction were frequent.
While firm spots were to be seen
here and there at the close, losses
were also well distributed.
Dealings W'ere the slowest in about
two weeks, with the ticker tape fre
quently at a standstill. Transfers
for the five hours were in the
neighborhood of 900.000 shares. .
Wall Street placed varying inter- *
pretations on dispatches from Eu
ropean battlefronts. Chilling senti
ment to some extent was the British
admission the Nazis had captured
the important Channel port of
Boulogne and reports of the sinking
by the Germans of six transports.
Hope, though, was seen in claims by
Paris of stronger Allied resistance
and the "isolating” of certain en- '
emy contingents. At the same time
fears that Italy was about to make
the leap into the fray on the side of
the axis were revived by word from
Rome sailing of the liner Rex had
been postponed.
A sustaining factor remained in
expectations that the huge domest.c
rearmament program would give a
lift to many lagging industries.
Steels and aircrafts did fairlv well.
Up the greater part of the time were
Bethlehem, Youngstown, Douglas
Aircraft, United Aircraft, Lockheed
and Glenn Martin.
Favored at one time or anothr
were United States Rubber, Good
year, Caterpillar Tractor, Interna
tional Harvester, J. c. Penney, Ana
conda. American Telephone, Santa
Fe, Southern Railway and Texas
Corp.
Lacking recovery vigor were Du M
Pont, Dow Chemical, Allied Chemi
cal, Eastman Kodak, Johns-Man
ville, Chrysler, Sears-Roebuck and
Standard Oil of New Jersey.
Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press. jd
CHICAGO, May 24.—Grain traders
who sold or otherwise eliminated
their market positions in the drastic
liquidation since the start of Ger
many's western drive in Europe
showed little inclination to re-enter
the market in today's sluggish ses
sion.
The result was an unusually quiet
trade characterized by nervous and
narrow price fluctuations, although
wheat closed with net gains of more
than a cent. A rally in stocks and
reports that stem rust has spread
northward caused some late buying.
