April 1.—Selective recoveries appeared In today's stock market although many lead ers continued to stumble. Steadying tendencies followed a slightly lower opening. Dealings quickened for a while, then reverted to slowness. Moderately mixed prices ruled near the fourth hour. Earnings, dividends and hopes fori a technical revival after three j straight losing sessions inspired a certain s'iount of professional bid ding. The eoal mine holiday and threatened telephone strike persist ed as bearish material. Skeptics regarding taxes and business pros pects either trimmed accounts or did nothing. The weak spots of Monday, Schenley and American Woolen, im proved. Eastern Air Lines advanced cm a pleasing annual statement. Re sistant were Douglas Aircraft, Unit ed Air Unes, American Airlines, Chrysler, United States Steel, Youngstown Sheet, American Tele phone, Southern Railway, Southern Pacific, Kennecott and Union Car bide. Backward Were United States Rubber, Goodrich, General Motors, Montgomery Ward, Texas Co., Du Pont, Allied Chemical, Air Reduc tion, General Electric, Phelps Dodge, J. C.
