STOCK TRADING
IS IRREGULAR
Railroad Issues and Special
ties Develop Weakness in
Opening Sales.

NEW YORK. Aug. 4.-Tbe stock
market opened irregular but with an
easier tendency which became more
pronounced in the first half hour. In
vestment railroads and leading spe-
ciaities exhibited the most weakness.
Yesterdays decline in the railroad
division and misgivings as to divi-
dend action on certain industrialsSen-
couraged broader selling for the snort
account. American Sugar and Cen
trail Leather fell one point and United
States Food produces. Cuban Cane
Sugar preferred. Central Leather pre-
ferred. Bethlehem Steel. Sears Roo
buck. General Electric. American
Locomotive and United Drug, one
half TO three-quarters.
Studebaker was a notable exception.
gaining 2 points while Chandler. Mex
lean Petroleum and Union Pacific
were bid up nearly a point.
Selling orders did o follow prices
down n h market began to show
n little more stability in sympathy
with thc confident absorption OF the
motors. Domestic and international
monetary conditions were regarded
favorably, the large inflrx of gold
here adding strength to foreign remit
tances. sterling rising one and one
half cents. causing a check to a specu-
.tative selling. Short covering was an
OBVIOUS factor on h rebound. but
there also were signs of renewed &C
cumulation Of representative rail-
roads with pool operations in some in
dustriais. American Sugar recover
ed fully and the general list got back
to a parity with yesterdays close or
above Call money again renewed at
5h c cent.

when production of Dodge Brothers
motor cars began the total floor space
was about square acres.
The principal anti of the construc-
ton program now in progress Is the
new press steel Building, with a floor
area OF $4,000 square feet. The new
construction building. which has 1nst
been completed, is eight stories hiSh
and has a floor area of 140.366 square

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN
LAWSUITS POURING IN AS
AFTERMATH OF WORLD war

Washington, Feb, l2-Millions of dol
lars-and promises of billions-are rep
resented in the great tide of law suits
which is beginning to pour into tho
United States Court Of Claims as one
of the results of the World war. The
court was expressly created to deter
mine legal controversies between pri-
vatc citizens and the government.
The Attorney General says the
amount OF war claims is enormous and
that indications are the influx of cases
has only begun. Actions upon claims
involving approximately Sl2i.oc,oOo
have already been filed. The ultimate
aggregate or claims. 1t is estimated,
will reach between two and three bill
lion dollars. The personnel OF the De-
partment of Justice having charge of
the defense OF these actions has been
doubled to enable it to cope with the
Hood OF new litigation.
These war claims are brought into
tho court by plaintiffs having claims
against all departments of the govern
mcnt. The War Department has claims
involving approximately 5000 ,ooO.
The Bureau Of Internal Revenue now
has pending claims for refunds and re-
bates aEErcEatinE $3.50. 1000. The
shipping Board has cancellations Of
Claims for patent infringement are cs-
timatcd by the Attorney General at
SioH 900. 900. Tho Railroad Administra-
ton has differences with the railroads
amounting to approximately S'bO,eV,-
90.
There are also claims proportionatcly
large IN amount arising from the Hous-
ing Corporation. the War Risk Bureau.
and the Food and Fuel Administra-
tons and IL IN known that there is Il
large amount OF other claims of mis-
cellancous character which have not
yet been filed.
In preparation for the disposition of
this now business the Court of Claims
has SO cleared its dockets that not
only pending suits but actions based
upon these war claims are receiving
immediate attention and all cases are
disposed OF as rapidly as they are pre-
scented. one OF the first and most i'm
portant cases. affecting claims csti-
mated at 800, 600 COCO. was begun on
May i5. 1920 Judgment was rendered
June =. 1890, and an appeal was ar
Gucd in the L. :. Supreme court on
January 9TH.
The volume OF important adjudica-
tion5 in the Court OF Claims during the
past fiscal year" says thc Attorney
General III eguallcd. has certainly
never been exceeded. Since the origi-
nal act of February 2i, 1855, providing
a forum in which citizens OF the Uni
ted States might have their claims
against the government adjudicated.
the duties OF the Court OF Claims have
steadily increased under legislation en-
