musician of Greece, after which the
young man lived in Cairo, Egypt, for
five years, where he studied languages,
as we'll as the mandolin and guitar.
After arriving in America, Papas COM

NEW YORK, Aug. 18 tP Price
movements in today's stock market
were erratic and irregular, reflecting
the nervousness of traders and small
spectators Frequent shifts of spec
ulative sentiment characterized the
trading with the rails making much
better showing than the industrials.
Sales showed a marked contraction in
volume.
Lowering of the renewal rate on call
loans to 80 per cent, new low for
the year and the first time since the
war that funds were available that
cheap in the middle Of August, was
one of the most significant develop
ments of the day. Pools attempted
to capitalize the occurrence by bidding
up their favorites but they had diff
ficulty in attracting an outside fol-
lowing and ran into heavy profit-tak-
ing in few issues.
There was nothing in the days trade
news to- arouse speculative interest.
Judging from the leading trade and
bank reviews, business appears to be
running along on an even keel with
indications of a normal upturn in ac-
tivity during the fall and winter. The

a new peak at 951a on the announce
ment of a large Cuban contract. Other
issues to break into new high ground
included Abitibi Power, May Depart
ment Stores, Montgomery Ward, Sears
Roebuck, Woolworth, New York DOCK,
Gotham Silk Hosiery, Bethlehem Steel
and Mackay companies, although some
of the gains were cancelled.
Although net declines of l to 8
points were scattered throughout the
list there was little evidence OF any
concerted selling by professional bear
SPECTATORS. The demand for stocks
in the "loan crowd" indicates the pres
ence of a sizeable short interest, par
ticularly in some of the high priced
specialties.
lTime money and commercial paper
rates were unchanged.
Foreign exchange trading was dull
with fluctuations extremely marrow and
irregular. Demand sterling ruled firm,
around $4.85% and French francs
were again quoted just under 3,92c.
