Stock Market Is Unable To Develop Real Trend Advances And Declines Just About Balanced At Close Of Trading By BERNARD S. O’HARA. NEW YORK, May 23.—(£>)—'The itock market today was unable to develop a definite trend after a week of highly erratic performan C6S« The intention of the list was cloudy at the start and, when the closing gong sounded, advances and declines just about balanced. Variations generally were in minor fractions with only a few shifts of a point or so either way. Peace talk waned appreciably as a market influence and reports from Russian battle fronts were conflicting enough to restrain many potential buyers. The problem of taxes also was viewed as a per sistent bullish handicap. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks was unchanged at 34.2 but on the week was up .2 of 439 issued traded today, 142 were off, 141 up and 156 ended at Friday’s final levels. Dealings were slow throughout. Transfers of 131,630 shares compared with 122,130 a week ago. Dow Chemical was up Hi on a few sales and U. S. Rubber Pre ferred dropped a point on restrict ed volume. Modest plus signs were register ed for Youngstown Sheet, Chrysler, Sears Roebuck, United Aircraft, Westinghouse, Union Carbide, Great Northern, Western Union, Kennecott, Phelps Dodge du Pont, General Electric, Owens-Illinois and Pepsi-Cola. On the offside were Bethlehem Steel, Santa Fe, Southern Railway, Anaconda, Americah Smelting, General Motors, Goodrich, Good year, International Harvester, Woolworth, North American, Philip Morris, Yellow Truck and Caterpil lar Tractor. Bonds were mixed. Commodities pushed up. At Chicago wheat ad vanced % to 1 cent a bushel, corn gained % to 1% and hogs were steady. Cotton ended up 5 to 15 cents a bale. Aluminum of America improved a point in an otherwise listless curb. Slight gainers included American Gas, Beech Aircraft, Consolidated Gas oi Baltimore and Glen Alden Coal. Unchanged to off a trifle were Carrier Corp., Humble Oil, Republic Aviation and Aluminum Ltd. Turnover here amounted to 27,380 shares versus 24,125 last Saturday.

Gains ranging up to a cent in the wheat and com pits, more than a cent in rye and as much as 2 cents in soybeans were chalked up at times. Short-covering, demand credited to mills and other process ors and reports that the govern ment was considering expanding shipments to Russia formed the background of support. Russia is known to need grains and meats as well as fats and vegetable oils.
