NEW YORK, July 18-^WPj—1The stock market rallied selectively to day but many leaders continued to inhabit the losing division. Deal ings were the slowest of the past three weeks. Mild irregularity persisted until the final hour when short covering and timid investment demand re duced early declines and put as sorted oils, motors, rails and spe cial issues t«o fractions to 2 or more points. There were a few jumps of around 5. The close was no worse than moderately irregu lar.

Buying was predicted partly on the idea that, after this week’s rest at generally easier levels, the list was in shape to resume the advance.

Until the late flurry of demand many issues had drifted fractions to more than a point lower in light dealings. Total sales of $3,330,000 for the day were the smallest since June 30 and compared with $5,980,000 Thursday. Even the new world bank isues, which had contributed heavily to larger market sessions earlier in the week, suffered a lessening of activity, sales of these bonds on the stock exchange amounting to $769,000. The 3s finished unchang ed at 102 10-32 while the 2 l-4s managed a narrow improvement to close at 101 12-32. Among better gainers among the corporates were Chicago & Eastern Illinois incomes at 43 1-2; Chicago Railway 5s at 77, Missouri Pacific general 4s at 29 and Chi cago Great Western 4 l-2s at 51. Also ahead were General Realty 4s, Lautaro Nitrate incomes, American Telephone 2 3-4s of ’61, Lehigh Valley Hudson terminal 5s, Columbia Gas and Electric 3 l-8s, Walworth 3 l-4s and Union Pacific 2 7-8s.

Denmark 5 l-2s moved ahead a point to 97 in a quiet foreign dollar section. U* S.

The market dirred to losses of more than $1 a bale as early liqui dation met indifferent trade sup port, but thereafter the trend was generally higher on mill buying and short covering. Early weakness reflected favor able private crop reports and dis appointments over the futures drew some strength from more active selling of textiles by mills, with sales of print cloths for second quarter of 1948 and prices for goods generally higher. Private advices noticed some im provement in mill buying of spot cotton for prompt and summer shipment. The movement of new crop cotton in the Rio Grande Valley was reported heavy. Futures closed 55 cents to $1.40 a bale higher than the previous close.
