Stock Market Quiet;
Prices Off Slightly
In Profit-Cashing
ly th« Associated Pros*
NEW YORK, May 18—The stock
market leaned a bit lower today
under the impact of repeated gusts
of profit taking sales.
Prices stiffened from time to time
as the public sent in buying orders
in a steady stream, and fqw losses
exceeded more than a point. Ad
vances. which made up a sizable
minority, were equally small.
Volume slackened after blocks of
1,000 and 2,000 shares appeared on
the tape during the first hour.
Firmer issues included American
Telephone, Goodyear, J. I. Case,
United Aircraft, International Nic
kel, Owens-Illinois, Union Pacific,
Sinclair Oil, Pacific Western Oil,
and Paramount.
Among the loses at times were
United States Steel, General Mot
ors, Chrysler, Firestone, Interna
tional Harvester, Commonwealth
Edison. American Smelting, West
inghouse Electric, Eastman Kodak,
Santa Fe, and Southern Railway.
Higher in the Curb were Ameri
can Maracaibo, Blue Ridge, Cities
Service, and Arkansas Natural Gas.
Barium Steel, Kaiser-Frazer, and
Electric Bond & Share declined.
Some rail and utility bonds im
proved.

enced by the slow development in export
business under ECA and a lower than
expected Bureau of Census report on
April cotton consumption. - '
There was a fair amount of liquida
tion in nearby July and switching Into
later months. This was influenced partly
by an announcement by the Japanese

than July. The board called for offers
of cotton apparently anticipating the
signing of the credit agreement by SCAT
later this week. , . „

April a year ago. The trade had looked
for an April consumption around 860.000
bales
Late afternoon prices were 20 to 8(1
cents a bale lower than the previous
close. July. 37.42; October, S4. :4. and
December. 33.72.
