NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Features Of the Days Dealings IN All
the Leading Stocks

New York, Aug. s.-The administra-
tons reported policy respecting war
prices. cumulative signs that industrial
interests deem 1t expedient to strength
en- their cash resources and persistent
peace rumors were the overshadowing
factors in todays weak stock market.
Industrials, equipments, coppers and
other shares which comprise the bulk Of
tie daily turnover were subjected to con-
slant pressure at extreme declines of 3
to 10 points. Bethlehem Steel again bore
the brunt Of the liquidation, the new
stock falling 10 points and the old g.
United States Steel reacted 3-s points
and closed with no material recovery
Metals owed much Of their depression
to a combination of adverse legislation
and labor troubles and motors reflected
the cut in the Studebaker dividend. that
incident also calling attention to the less
optimistic feeling regarding conditions in
the industry.
Tobaccos, shippings and secondary rails
displayed underlying strength but failed
to attract more than passing interest.
Investment rails were only temporarily
stimulated by the June statement Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. which
reported large gains in earnings. The
crop report, issued in the final hour,
seemed below expectations in the main.
Total sales Of stocks amounted to $4,000
shares.
There was little demand for speculative
loans but time money was frmer. preced-
