Half Million Shares Change Hands
During First Hour of Trad
ing on Exchange.

New York. Aug. S.-About half a
million shares changed hands in
the first hour of today's stock mar
ket, the result, as indicated by the
tape, showing an increase of pur-
chases over sales. Trading slack
ened later when gains among lead
eTs, notably United States Steel,
were materially reduced and Rub
Der reacted points. Equipments
were extremely uncertain, Amer
can Car raising 81 points while
Baldwin reacted. Shippings and
rails were under further pressure.
Selling in heavy volume was re-
sumed at noon with new low rec
ords for important stocks. Call
