DEMAND LACKING
FOR WAR STOCKS
Dealings in Some Issues on Curb
Excited at Times-Sub-
marine Weak

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.
There was an absence Of demand for the
entire group OF stocks on the curb which
had been placed In n war-order class and
absorbed most Of the speculative attention
for many weeks past. Dealings In some OF
these stocks was excited at times during
the forenoon, especially in Wrieht-M Martin
which sold down from 9k. compared with
IL only short time ago. Curtiss Aero
plane was also pressed on the market at
concessions with heavy trading. ranging
from 48h to 46h.
The same weak tone prevailed In the
trading In Submarine, which sold down to
26h, and the three stocks seemed to be
facing liquidation on large scale. Sub
marine boat prospects seemed to have been
dimmed by the manner In which the sub
marine activities In the world war have
been repressed and holders now fear that
contracts for submarines from the fighting
nations will be extremely few.
There was virtually no business in Stand
ard OIL securities during the day and inde-
pendent oils sold off without special atten-
tion Some of the mining stocks were ac-
tive, with good deal of attention attracted
TO Emma Consolidated because of the fav-
orable reports from essays of recent pro-
duction. Munition stocks were weak, Aetna
selling at 5% and a, and Maxim Num-
tions at 1ss and ia.
