SPECIALTIES ARE ►FEATURE OF WALL STREET TRADING Range of Activity, However, Remains Quite Narrow, With Oils Lagging, RAIL STOCKS ARE STRONG Little Selling Pressure Directed Against List; Woolworth Makes New High, The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, June 12.—Nothing happened over night to force the stock market out of the narrow range in which the active stocks fluctuated in the previous session. Some attention was attracted by developments in the reparations situation, but the general market displayed a disposition to await further developments. Specialties like American Ice and Famous Players Bored good gains in today's opening dealings, but price changes as a whole bore little significance. First Hour Special strength in a number of Individual stocks featured trading in the first hour. Optimism over the outlook for a dividend increase stimulated accumulation of New York Central while expanding earnings furnished the impetus for the strength in Associated Dry Goods and similar specialties. Wabash preferred was active around the best price on the current movement, reflecting the road's prosperity. Second Hour _ Although trading continued sluggish in the late morning, the market had few points, in which selling pressure was in evidence and pronounced strength was exhibited by several issues. Woolworth climbed to a further high record and Moon Motors went into new high ground on the move in expectation of the establishment of a regular $3 dividend rate and an extra dividend. Continued heaviness existed in the oil group. Noon Hour American Smelting common spurted ever a point in the noon dealings, following announcement of the restoration of a $5 dividend rate on the stocks. This outburst was accompanied by a brief flurry on the upside in American Can and New York Central, but the general list failed to delop any enthusiasm over these demstrations and the volume of dealings showed further shrinkage. Fourth Hour Announcement of a future price cut by the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company, gave rise to selling in the tire group in the fourth hour and a softer tone came into the steels, due to the condition of the market for iron products. Generally speaking, however, these fluctuations were of no significance to the trend of the market as these recessions represented principally the efforts of a day-to-day traders. Closing Hour The market turned generally heavy in the last hour as the volume of trading decreased. Even the restoration of a $5 dividend rat 6 for American Smelting common and prevailing optimism over thr- outlook for increased New York Centra': earning capacity failed to arouse the market from its lethargy as the professional element seemed largely committed to the side of declining prices.

WEAR UNDERTONE DOMINATES GRAINS Prices Generally Lower at Close in Chicago, By United financial CHICAGO. June 12. —Grain prices were generally lower at the close of the Chicago Board of Trade today. The weak undertone in wheat continued throughout the session, induced by the absolute lack of foreign demand and absence of speculative buying. Favorable crop news was received from all parts, with the exception of Oklahoma, Nebraska and parts of Minnesota. Corn weakned with lack of demand and a shading of premiums. Cash prices were lower and crop nows was favorable. Deferred oats months showed considerable weakness. Cash demand was slow and crop news favorable. Stronger cable and buying for foreign accounts caused provisions to advance. Chicago Grain Table —June 12— WHEAT— Prey. Open. High. Low. Close, close.
