Stock Market Rally Brings Enough Profit To Stem Rising Tide WAR OPTIMISM MAIN BOLSTER Peace Stocks In Demand At Start But Lose Climbing Power jjEW YORK, June 9.—Ui—The lengthy stock market rally in cpired enough profit taking today to stem the rising tide. V.’ar optimism still was the main bullish prop, brokers said, but the fact the list had been up on average in five successive ses sion; Served to revive speculative and investment caution. It was figured the recently better brand of war news from world battle fronts may have been discounted t0 a certain extent. Commission house customers be gan to lighten commitments after mid-day and, at the close, initial gains of fractions to around 3 points were reduced or converted into losses of as much. At that, many favorites managed to make it six recovery days In a row and the finish was no worse than mod erately irregular. The Associated Press composite of 60 stocks was off .2 of a point at 36.1. the first set-back in this barometer since the strong up swing got under way last Wednes day. Active dealings in the morn ing tapered off later but transfers totaled 397.680 shares against 355,690 Monday. So-calied peace stocks were in demand at the start but even these lost climbing power in the final hour. Eastman Kodak, up 7 3-4 points yesterday, largely on account of nervous short covering, retreated 3 1-8 today. Lesser casualties in cluded U. S. Steel, Bethlehem. General Motors (which made a new year’s high in the forenoon), Sears Roebuck, Montgomery Ward. J. I. Case, International Harvester, Boeing, United Air craft, Anaconda, Westinghousc, General Electric, Johns-Manville. U. S. Gypsum, Santa Fe, Southern Pacific and Standard Oil (NJ). United Fruit held a net advance of 1-2 when directors voted the regular quarterly dividend of $1. American Telephone ended un changed .after being up well over a point. Improvement was retain ed by Goodyear, Oliver Farm. Philip Morris, Dow Chemical, Al lied Chemical, American Smelting, Phelps Dodge, Homestake Mining, Union Carbide and Texas Co. Of 701 individual stocks traded, 270 were up, 242 down and 190 unchanged. A brisk cofne-back in cotton fu tures was the feature in the com modity department. This stap’o closed SI.80 to $2 a bale highf>r. making its best move in the last few minutes. At Chicago wheat was up 3-8 to 5-8 of a cent a bushel, corn down 1-8 to up 3-8 and hogsg 10 cents lower. Bonds were irregular. In the curb Cities Service Power & Light $6 preferred jumped 14 points on a 40-share sale. Ahead a point or so were Pittsburgh Plate Glass. Singer Mfg., and Sherwin-Williams, all on restricted volume. Slipping were Phoenix Se curities. Cities Service common, Gulf Oil and Humble Oil. Turn over here aggregated 71,110 shares versus 43.385 Monday.

A decree effective May 12 au thorized the gram poard to pur chase 1941-42 crop corn on the cob at a guaranteed price equivalent to 33 cents a bushel, shelled basis, delivered in the port of Buenos Aires. Last year the guaranteed pirce was 36 cents. The conditions imposed were aimed at a reduction in the acre age planted to corn, wheat, lin seed and sun flower seed. The gov ernment indicated that while it wished to be consistent in its pol icy of aid to corn producers, who constitute the bulk of the tural population, it found difficulty in continuing the purchase of a crop for which there was no export market. Producers were urged to diver sify their operations in favor of mixed farming, cattle breeding and dairying. With this object in mind a supplemental decree au thorized the bank of the nation to grant loans up to 3 8-10 cents a bushes on corn produced by farm ers who agreed to use the money for the purchase of cattle, hogs and dairy farm equipment. Another supplemental decree al located $29,800,000 to a national agrarian council which will ad vance loans to farmers who agree not to grow wheat, corn, flax and sunflower seed without permission of the council and agree to use the money for the purchase of land in the corn belt for coloniza tion purposes. . The government announced it had no intention of purchasing the entire 1941-42 corn crop, estimated at 362,000,000 bushels, but would scale purchases in proportion to the acreage planted to corn—the greater the acreage, the lower the percentage it planned to buy. --V NAVAL STORES SAVANNAH, Ga., June 9.—(#)— Turpentine 55; offerings 280; sales 14,000 gallons; receipts 309; ship ments 74: stocks 7,652.

Low middling CHAIRMAN TELLS OF USO ACTIVITY Organization Set Up In AH Quarters Of Globe Where Our Soldiers Are George Ivey state chairmann tot the 1942 war fund campaign of USO announced today he had re ceived a report from Robert E. Strawbridge. Jr., director of USO’s overseas division which said men serving in the nation’* military forces at many trans ocean hemisphere bases were en joying virtually the same USO clubhouse and recreational facili ties provided for soldiers, sailors, and marines, stationed or under going training in the United States. Mr. Ivey said Mr. Strawbridg® had advised him that USO facili ties could now be found in eenter* from the sub-Arctic to Central and South American jungles and the number of USO workers sent to these outposts was increasing with eac passing month. “Clubhouses and other units of the USO are operating in t he Canal Zone where five recreation al centers have been established'* said Mr. Ivey “and an equal num ber of troops have a center ini each area, three USO clubhouses and a smaller unit are In Alaska, while one clubhouse and a smaller operation are in Bermuda. Hawaii is served by three clubhouses and two smaller units and generally USO follows the flag! “It should be added that the sit* uation in the Philippines continues in doubt. We know that four of the USO workers there have been captured by the Japanese invaders but how they fared and the where abouts of five other USO men are uncertain. “There can be no question that USO had rendered most valuable and useful service to soldiers, sail ors and marines during the last year. Proof of this can be found in the recognition accorded to USO by the federal government which asked the organization to go far beyong its initial pledges of serv ice. Federal demands on USO are increasing not decreasing and it is our job — the Job of every man, woman and child in this state and In this nation — to con tribute to the war fund campaign”. 15.29, middling 18.29, good mid dling 18.74, receipt* 705, stock 1403,617.
