W)l to choice 3 00-50; fair to good Dullest Today Since the Early Part of anuary Price Changes Also Are Generally Unimportant (By Victor Eubank, A.sscciated Press Financial Writer) New York The stock market was almost at a standstill in today's brief session. Trading was the dullest since the eariy part of January. The more active issues hsld to narrow grooves and price changes generally were unimportant. The close was fairly steady. Transfers approximated 500,000 shares.

Both professionals and the public were inclined to hug the safety zones while waiting for developments "on the Potomac." Congressional activities were still indecisive and the president's attitude toward disputed legislation was a matter of conjecture. Equities received little encouragement from commodities, most of which milled about in a meaningless range. Grains were a bit reactionary at one time, and rubber and cotton were hesitant. Silver futures were not buoyant, although the bar metal was advanced of a cent an ounce to 48 cents. Bonds were somewhat mixed.

U. S. governments, however, were firm. International dollar rates were stagnant. METAL STOCKS LIVELY Some of the metal and amusement stocks were comparatively lively.

TJ. S. Smelting got up nearly 2 points. Cerro de Pasco was a bit higher. Warner Pathe and Loew's advanced.

Packard Motors lost a trifle on a sizable turnover. Chrysler, General Motors, Nash, National Distillers and United Aircraft drifted somewhat lower. TJ. S. Steel and American Telephone were fairly firm.

The utilities and rails did virtually nothing. Consolidated Gas and other power and light issues apparently were not adversely affected by word that the president had signed the Joint resolution directing the power commission to investigate rates charged to residential, rural, commercial and industrial consumers throughout the United States. While the financial sector was not too well pleased with the senate tax bill boosting to new peacetime highs the levies on inheritances, gifts and corporations, the thought was expressed that the measure may undergo numerous adjustments before it finally becomes law. There was no disposition to forecast the president's reaction to the bill. HOPE FOR THE BEST Market analysts interpreted the president's remarks upon his arrival in Washington as indicating that he desires an early adjournment of congress.

In the event that the legislative body quits by the middle of May, it was believed certain that many bills will have to be fhclved. There were faint hopes that the stock exchange control measure would be among these. Mildly bullish sentiment was still predominant in speculative quarters It was pointed out, however, that spring business is about at its peak and may recede from here on into the summer; that advancing costs of labor and materials under codes arc tending to reduce cor prrate profits, and that increasing prices of manufactured gocds may tend to retard sales. CHICAGO LIVESTOCK Chicago (U.R Livestock markets held generally steady in slow, cleanup business today. There were hsrdly enough hegs at the Chicago stockyards to make a market and the limited supply went at nominally steady prices.

Total receipts of hogs at three important terminals wive 13,300. Chicago took in 10.000 and the nominal top on desirable kinds and weights held steady at $4.20 and the average price was around $3.90. Pittsburgh was steady with 1,000 unci East St. Louis was steady to 5 cents lower with 2,300. All cattle business was steady Willi receipts 650.

of which 400 came into Chicago. The top on vealers here was $6.50 and the average price was around $6. Pittsburgh took in 50 and East St. Louis took in 200. Sheep receipts totaled 7,250 with all steady markets.

Chicago took in 7.000 and the top on best wcol lambs held at the week's peak, $9.50. The average price on lambs here was around $8.95. Pittsburgh received 200 and East St. Louis 50. BOND MARKET TODAY (By Bernard S.

A number of In-diU'iiJ kfH'taltici walked quietly advanced by the propo nents or municipal ownership is cheaper rates, and while on the sur face this may be true, nevertheless, through increased taxation which is bound to occur as it has been proven that municipally owned plants cannot be run on the same efficient basis as under private ownership consumers eventually pay more for their gas, electricity, etc.

There Is another anele to this matter and while it does not to any large extent involve a question of dollars and cents. It Is equally Important so far as the convenience and peace of mind of the people are concerned, and that Is. that In the event of the city deciding to build nnci operate its own lines lt would mean the tearing up of miles and miles of city streets with all that this implies in the way of Incon venience, disruption ot traffic, etc. MARKET OUTLOOK During the past several weeks at tention has been called to the un derlying strength of the share list, and notwithstanding the advance that has taken place during the last Wotr tHIe clrnnntVi 1 In dence. which speaks volumes for the underpinning of the market.

Fur- thermore. the feeling persists that just as soon as congress Is out of -the way and the Fletcher bill has been disposed of. most stocks will give a better account of themselves. This is largely based on the belief that there is no Important liquida tion in the offing and that once bu.sine.ss is freed from the uncer tainties of congress most lines will go ahead. Even In the public util ity section of the list there does not not seem to be any great amount of alarm on the part of holders due to recent developments and lt may be that most people have now reached a philosophical state so far as legislative matters are concerned, and feel that the repercussions have already been felt In the stock mar ket; and assuming that developments from now on will In most in stances be constructive, there Is no rush to get rid of stocks, that as a matter of fact, recessions which may occur from time to time are buying opportunities.

McDONALD. Judge; Thompsons. Orucnewald Si Fryt, attorneys for New American Bank" of o-hkosh, trustee. Pub. April New York (Special) Develop- nients of late show very conclusive ly that the labor question will bear close watching.

To be sure considerable satisfaction is to be derived from the manner in which differ ences which have thus far cropped out have been adjusted, but the un favorable part of it all is the un certainty as to Just what is going to happen during the coming weeks. There can be no doubt that labor is in the saddle, so to speak, and is going to leave no stone unturned in an endeavor to obtain all it possibly can not only in relation to wages but also as lt Involves the highly controversial matter of union recognition. This adds one more upsetting fac tor to a situation which is already overloaded with uncertainties and it is small wonder, therefore, that a degree of hesitation is in evidence In many lines. Notwithstanding this, however, it Is apparent that trade generally is picking up and, what Is equally im portant, that sentiment regarding the outlook is now more cheerful than it has been for some time past. PROGRESS BEING MADE Certainly it would be stretching a point to state that our troubles are over and that there Is clear sailing ahead, but It must be admitted even by the most pessimistic, that progress Is being made, although it is still an extremely difficult job to peer very far into the future.

What with investigations present and prospective; governmental ac tivities in this and that direction and the unfriendly attitude of many of our national and state let'Lslators toward business endeavors, such as the public utilities, the railroads, stock exchanges, In fact, the entire financial situation, the country has now had so much of this sort of thing It is a serious question if the rank and file have not pretty nearly reached the saturation point. It may be that, as some authori ties have been contending, it Is bet ter to have a revolution from within rather than from without, but it Is equally true that reconstruction has been going on apace and it Is only fair to inquire if the time has not arrived to call a halt and let us try and digest at least ome of the many measures that have been brought Into being since March 4, 1933. SCENE IS SHIFTED During the past week the scene of legislative uction has largely shifted from Washington to New York and attention is being focused on the efforts of Governor Lehman in connection with the public util ity situation in New York state. The urge to regulate the public utility Industry appears bo be spreading but lt is Inconceivable that bearing in mind the rather strained finances of New York City (the gross funded debt now being in round figures $2,000,000,000) that the citizens thereof as a class are particularly interested in operating a municipality owned system or are in the humor to consent to the flotation of a large bond issue to provide funds for a project of this nature involving as it would say some $2,000,000,000 this of course relating only to the Consolidated Gas and Brooklyn Union Gas com panies. As pointed out some time ago, lt Is rather curious that most of the agi tation in connection with thin mat ter has been, and still is, emanating from political sources rather than from the consumers.

NOT ALL SUCCESSFUL Thus far municipally owned and oiierated plants have not been particularly successful and in a great many instances municipalities have found it advisable to revert to privately owned concerns. However, it is probably that this agitation will have to run its course, but it a time for-utep and careful thinking before making a change of this character.
