SHED NERVOUSNESS
Big Loan to England and Hope
For Better Business Has
Tonic Effect.

New York, Aug. 2S.-tR-Farmness
of the STOCK market saturday reflect
ed quieting of nervousness over in-
ternational finance with the formal
announcement of the huge ioan to
England and the conviction IN specu-
lative quarters that September will
bring some improvement in general
business activity, though slight.
Coppers and motion picture shares
we're traded In fair volume at sor11e-
what higher levels In an otherwise
extremely quiet weekend session.
Sponsors OF the motion picture stocks
state that the companies have ef-
fected sweeping economies and that
autumn usually brings an increase in
theatre attendance. Copper shares
were bought in response to a slight
firrning of copper metal prices.
Gains were largely fractional, al
though several leading shares pushed
up a point or two, including Ameri-
car Can. Allied Chemical, U. S. Steel,
Case, Consolidated Gas, Westing-
house, New York Central, Erie. Balti-
more & Ohio. Radio preferred B,
and Westinghouse Electric.
In the motion picture issues, War

point, and the preferred o. 8. Such
issues as loews. Radio Keith, Fox,

WALL STREET REVIEW

New YORK, Aug. @.-HEWal
Street still waited rather impatiently
for convincing signs of the normal
autumn npswing in trade this week,
but in the meantime derived consider
able encouragement from the deter
mined efforts of Great Britain to put
her house financially In order.
Bonds stiffened appreciably late in
the week and stocks found it a little
easier to advance than decline.
The large Franco-American bank
ing credit to the British treasury was
regarded with considerable satisfac-
ton In important Wall Street bank
ing circles.
Financial advices from Germany
we're generally regarded as satisfac-
tory. Including the plans to resume
trading on the Boerse next week.
Commodity markets. in the main,
displayed a moderate degree of stabi-
lily during the week. although wheat
broke to & new low and failed to make
full recovery. Cotton worked inoder-
ately higher. however. and crude oil
and gasoline prices continued to gain.
In stocks. the Petroleum issues had
an interval OF strength, but held sta
tionary during the later trading SEES
Sions.
The stock market as a whole was
extremely sluggish. sales falling to
reach q million shares on any day OF
the week. The market poked up rath-
er briskly. on both wednesday and
Friday. drifting uncertainty in other
Vn-l-2-- :.~..~u ~~~~sekNNAH
considerable selling for a time.
The encouraging feature of the
weekly trade news was a rather dis
tinct pickup in wholesale buying.
Such weekly reports as the steel trade
reviews, freight a loadings and cleo
trio power consumption failed to dis
close IMPORTANT changes either way.
Money was extremely easy. call
loans being offered In the outside
market at one per cent.
