CAUTION URGED.
ON TRADERS
IN STOCKS
By WALL STREET SPECTATOR

by WALL STREET SPECTATOH
NEW YORK, Aug. IL U.N.SO.
Stocks suffered a little relapse
yesterday which for time looked
as though it would turn into a
real old fashioned decline. What
happened to the list yesterday
was probably all for the best and
should serve the purpose of hold
ing under control that bullish
feeling of stocks going to $1,000
a share.
Chartwise the market is in a
critical position and a highly
cautious attitude should be
observed by day to day traders.
Yesterdays grain crop report
was all that was looked for in
every case except wheat, which
should prove disappointing in
view of the crop damage esti-
mates heard around the street
during the past few days. The
commodity markets undoubtedly
will provide the cues for the next
broad advance or decline.
Speculative interest in the gold
stocks continued at high level
and good sources report that
transfer books of the leading
companies show that holders Of
large blocks continue to main.
tain their positions.
Interest in the rubber market
is now greater than it has been
for several years. Rubber is
still faced with the problem that
most productive industries have
in a measure taken care of, name
ly, output. and good statistical
sources are warning unless this
is done prices will decline SUBJ
Stantially from this level.

BIC BOARD LIST
IS DULL AND
LOWER
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Aug. II G.N.SO.
Reactions in wheat and cotton
turned the stock market into a
dull and featureless affair today
with the trend irregularly lower.
Opening weak and moderately
lower the list staged a sharp
rally in the first half hour and
many of the leaders went to
levels fractionally above yester-
days close. The rally, though,
attracted offerings and stocks
settled down moderately under
the previous close.
Pivotal Issues Easy
The pivotal stocks including
United States Steel, Consolidated
Gas, American Can, American
Telephone and New York Central
were sluggish and ruled easy un-
der their previous close.
Easiness in United States Steel
had depressing influence on the
other steel stocks including
Bethlehem, youngstown Sheet
and Tube, and National Steel.
Railroad shares were depressed
by profit taking and the prospect
of further decline in loadings
to be reported tomorrow. Union
Pacific, Atchison, Lackawanna
and the other leaders in the
group were only barely steady
around their previous close.
Liquor shares we're hit by prof
It taking, with National Distillers,
American Commercial Alcohol and
U. S. Industrial Alcohol slightly
lower in dull trading.
Short Interest Small
Another bearish factor was the
Stock Exchanges short interest
report showing the open account
to be smaller than at any time in
the past two years. This infor-
nation caused traders to become
wary of the market, in which bids
under various shares might be
very thin in the event of a de-
cline.
Trading tapered off sharply and
the ticket, which yesterday fell
behind the market, was today
easily able to keep up with the
dealings, and in fact often stood
still for minutes at a time.

President May Have to Issue Call to

ministration will be held responsible
Administration leaders are mindful OF
this fact, and one evidence is seen
IN the steps being taken through pub
hcity to SELF the industrial control
and public works act, the farm relief
act and other proposals to the country.
AT present, no administration leader
either at the Capitol or in the executive
departments would admit that another
extra session is likely, but in the last
week or 10 days there has been in
creaslng talk in congressional circles
about the likelihood of returning here
IN September or October.
Republicans Predict Extra Session.
Republican leaders are saying openly
that they would not be surprised to
have Congress reconvened next Fall.
Such feeling is based on the belief that
the next two or three months will
demonstrate that some of the legisla-
tlon which turns enormous authority
over to the President will prove un-
workable
This applies especially to the indus
trial control and public works act, or
rather to the industrial control title of
the measure, and to the farm market
ing act. To some extent, it applies to
part OF the other legislation, such as
the home loan act and the farm mort

T ONDON.-More and more as the
International Monetary Confer
ence develops it seems to follow
the lines of an American presi-
Dental nominating Congress-a
convention without a gallery. Remove
the clique noise, ballyhoo, bands, flags
and tremendous masses of men watch
ing the show, and you have this con-
ference sitting quietly in decent dignity
and reasonably busy.
The conference follows the parlia-
mentary forms of the Western World
It is assembled to bring about economic
peace. Economic peace IS desirable
largely because it will prevent war, SO
naturally here at this convention the
pride and ponp and circumstance OF
glorious war are entirely absent.
Al this point, the conference has
separated into committees. Again We
have parallel between this assemblage
and a national convention of major
political party in America. The i'm
portant work is done in committees
here. and not ON the floor of the general
assembly. The real iockeying for place
here is for position upon committees.
