New York, Oct. 11.
Stock prices on Wall Street today closed with moves of about 1 point either way, with losses predominating due to a little pre-holiday Selling. Business news was unchanged. Many issues, however, were erratic owing to more persistent profit taking. Aircrafts advanced on increased world defence programmes, while oils were under pressure of wide-spread price cutting. Coppers eased, while steels, despite the expected increased activity at Youngstown, were restrained. In the meantime, many operators are awaiting the reaction of manufacturers, Sentiment, however, is still predominantly on the buying side. The turnover today amounted to 1,530,000 shares.
