STOCKS CLOSE STRONG
WITH REPRESENTATIVE
ISSUES UP SLIGHTLY
Early Bear Attack Fails to
Weaken General
Market.
BY STUART y. WEST.

New York. Aug. 9.-Littlc happen
ed on the stock exchange today. In
view of Fridays suspension of bust
ness there was little incentive TO
fresh trading. 4 half dozen or more
specialties were driven down but this
did not.have the effect similar weak.
ness did Wednesday in depressing
the rest of the list. The more repre-.
sentative issues gave satisfactory
account of themselves. closing strong
at, moderate net gains on the day.
A bri.f uptlirn occurred in the
first hour following the announcement
of the increase in the American
Locomotive dividend from So 10
Il So annual basis. This did not
come as any surprise after the extra
ordinary statement for the half year.
showing that earnings We're running
after the rate of over S24 a share
on the new stock.
Denial by the president Of the
Famous Players company that any
new financing was contemplated fail
ed TO check the decline in the stock.
Central Leather went lower on talk
that the company would have a de-
ficit for the present quarter. East
man Kodak had further break fol-
lowing the announcement at the close
yesterday that only the regular quar-
trrly dividend had been declared.
Three months ago there was an extra
dividend of ~ cents y share. Other
specialties which were under pressure
were Sears Roebuck and Texas Gulf
sulphur. The decline in the latter
represents readjustment to general
market conditions of stock in which
speculation had run wild last spring.
Dupont stock was bid M in sympa-
thy with General Motors on the idea
that an increased dividend on the
latter would mean at once larger
distribution on the former.
Traders considered that enough
covering had been done in the north
western rails to make them vulner-
able again. They continued TO harp
upon the fact that with maximum
freight traffic, st. Paul was not COW
ering fixed charges and Great North
ern and Northern Pacific We're bare
ly moro than earning their : per cent.
The st. Paul stocks were driver
down around their low points.
The only Importance attached TO
the days dealings was that they
showed the inability of the bear
party to continue Yesterdays success.
The weak spots uncovered among in
dividual stocks no longer unsettled
the general list. Prices hardened
after going lower during the, first
hn oil
in complete apathy and remained in
this condition all the afternoon. Sell
ing of Burns Brothers stocks was rc-
sumed in the late trading but people
who are supposed TO know said that
this was not due 10 any change in
the earnings situation. but was the
result of n weak nOsition in the
market for these stocks.
