Total salee 900,000 sharw. New York, April 4 a session Interapersed between two hoU- days, stocks did well today. Although many traders were abeent for an extended week-end, those who stayed covered part of their short conimltmente and prices showed general Improvement. Sales totaled only 900,000 shnrea, the smallest Saturday turnover since the end ot January. Except that the technical position favored a rally, there waa little to account for an upturn.

Reports from business emphasized Irregular drift of industrial activity. Steel mill operations In the Youngstown district next week will be down 3 points to 45 percent of capacity, the second successive weekly decline. Some automobile manufacturers announced March sales had been the beet in nearly a year. General Motors, Nash and Chrysler gained a point, Borg Warner 2 and Motor Products 5. The new short Interest In Auburn Auto received an expensive leeson, for the Issue snared 23 points to the new high of 259, closing only a point under the top.

Monday Is sold as low as 219. U. S. Steel sold off to the new 1931 low of Sales at that quotation were limited, however, and the stock caught up Avlth the rest of the market, finishing at 140, up li. Bethlehem, American Can, International Harvester, Woolworth, West- Inghouse and National Biscuit gained 1 to which was also the extent of the net advance In American Telephone, Consolidated Gas and Columbia Gas.

American Tobacco Issues rose more than 3 points. Ingersoll Rand was strengthened by the Hoover dam contracts awarded the company. Rails were Arm. An advance in alcohol prices, which broke sharply earlier in the week, facilitated the recoveries In the chemicals. Confllctlnpr expressions of opinion are heard concerning the decline In steel production.

At the beginning of the year It was believed the peak of the demand might be delayed until May, but the falling off in automotive and railroad inquiry has suggested to some omservens that this ectimate may have been too optimistic. On the other hand, many regard I lie present lull as temporary, out that although the motor car makers have specified a little too freely and will therefore be less active In the market for a time, there Is no reason to believe thai automobile output has reached Its seasonal top.

(t-New 1931 railroad low.) New York, April 4 (JT bond market marked time today. Trading In most Issues was limited and changes were mainly narrow and fractional. Leading railroad obligations usually were lower but the rest of the market had a rising tendency. Baltimore and Ohio series 5s and Erie refunding and improvement 5s of 1967 were active.
