Most Speeialties Decline Two Points

New York, Aug. N.-with the excep-
ton of few specialties. the stock
market displayed reactionary tenden-
cy today. with. falling of in total bus
mess. The apparent exhaustion OF the
buying movement caused prices Of
most specialties to decline an average
OF two points. but the standard issues
were only fractionally lower.
Conservative brokers declare that
hints OF peace are tending to restrict
business In the war stocks and create
a growing sentiment in favor of the
railroad shares. This. however, Is
somewhat Offset by the steady decline
in sterling exchange to unheard-of lev
els, leading to the expectation Of further
liquidation Of railway securities by the
foreigners.
Except for early strength the general
list showed a heavy tone throughout the
session and closing prices were only
fra actionally above the lowest. There
was an absence of urgent selling. so
there Is no fear of an immediate sharp
break in values.
Baldwin Locomotive was one Of the
few war brides to show strength and
on active dealings rose more than two
points to the highest point recorded
since the sinking of the Arabic. Stimuli
