Dealings slowed after a moderately active and firm opening. Selling then appeared and minus signs of fractions to a point or so were in the majority near the fourth hour. Buying hesitancy was attributed partly to the desire of customers to await developments over the labor front and more light on Washington's attitude toward price boosts for steel and other lines.

Inflation sentiment persisted as a trend prop. Bonds were narrow and commodities uneven. Dealings turned sluggish after a moderately active opening. Steels then displayed rallying tendencies and the pace quickened a bit. Gains of fractions to 2 points or more were well distributed near the close but numerous minus marks persisted.

Transfers of around 1,500,000 shares were among the smallest for a full session since early January.
