NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-The Even
ing Sun financial review today says:
New commitments were light to-
day, both traders and the outsiders
apparently being willing to extend
their accounts pending more definite
news from Washington regarding the
railroad labor controversy, which
TO many operators in stocks had TAX
en- a turn that might bring a wide
spread strike or a settlement at any
moment. Following weak open
ing. in which, however, little stock
came out, the general tendency OF
prices was In the direction OF lower
levels. without accompanying any
marked depression or any indicar
ton on the part OF real holders Of
securities OF An intention to go into
panic because OF the apparent
gravity OF the labor outlook in the
American rail transportation bust
ness.

adjustments incident to the end Of
the week made up a good proportion

prominent stocks. notably United

ing active enough to carry prices
above their first records.
Irregular movements marked
