TRADE ON THE CURB
IS IN SMALL VOLUME
Many Issues Show Uncertain
Tone, Due to Wavering on
Stock Exchange

New York, Aug. 2O.-Dealings on
the Broad street curb today were small
in volume and the market showed an
uncertain tone, due to the wavering
tendency displayed on the stock ex =
change.
There was sitting of chaff from the
grain in a number of new industrials
with some of those stocks making sub =
stantial losses, among them being In
dian Packing, which sold from 351a to
32. Colonial Tire showed heaviness
with trading at 30 to 81.
Most interest was attached to the
dealings in American Ship and Com =
merce which, following the statement
of computed returns from Cramp Ship
building, rose from 33A to 81 on trad
ing of over 10000 shares.

Today's Session on the Philadelphia
Stock Exchange was marked by fair
activity in a fairly broad market, but
at the close Of trade most of the issues
in which there had been sales were at
about yesterdays figures.
Active trading in the shares Of the
American Ship aud Commerce Cor

session. The first sale Of this stock was
at 36A with a quick advance to 36h,
at which figure it was three points
above last nights close, but failed to
hold at the advance price throughout
the day. A sale of 40 shares Of Cramps
was made at 175, off points from last
close.
After couple of busy hours In the
early part of the session, interest
seemed to drag, and quotations, with
