MARKET AS A WHOLE
VERY IRREGULAR TODAY
While Some Specialties Exhibit
Striking Independent Strength,
Tone Is Lacking.
War Stocks Make Further Gains,
With Crucible Steel Leading, But
Rails Are Unusually Quiet.

NEW YORK, August 6.-A1though a
few of the war stocks made further
gains in the early trading today the
market as whole was irregular and
the edge seemed to have been taken off
the rise.
Bethlehem steel jumped Z points. to
3OS. a point above it's previous high.
Other high records were made by
General Motors, which rose points. to
1877, and Willys-Overland. up 2. to 141.
A few other industrials rose about
point each. but as general thing
price changes were slight.
Steel sold at 721a, on a level with
yesterdays high record, and then re-
acted point.
s-Chalmers, Studebaker and Con-
tinental Can were heavy.
Railroads were unusually quiet.
Bethlehem Touches 311.
The forenoon market lacked definite
tone. Stocks were poured out in guam
tity at the early high levels and pro-
fessionals who had followed the up
ward movement hurriedly reversed
their position.
Later on a number of specialties gave
a striking exhibition of independent
strength.
Crucible Steel was rushed up nearly
points to 83A.
Bethlehem also added several points
to its initial rise, touching 311.

ATLANTA, Ga, August 6.-Plagiar-
ism exists even behind prison walls,
according to the current Issue Of Good

by the inmates of the Atlanta federal
prison.. which charges three state

May Retire Bond Issue.

Lanston stock made a new high on the
present movement, so shares selling today
at 70, a gain of nine points during the
current week. In all 400 shares have
changed hands during the five sessions and
the range has been 81 to 20. 500 shares
of the stock selling around 63a631a. The
advance has been modest as compared
with the gains in speculative war stocks
In Wall street. The company expects to
make large profits from war orders. but
the shareholders will find their greatest
satisfaction in the knowledge that the
American business in the manufacture or
monotype machines is progressing very
satisfactorily, so much so that earnings
equal per cent and would warrant the
resumption of some dividend payments.
During the week Capital Traction has
eased nearly three-auarters Of point
