APATHY IS DEEP
IN BIC BOARD
DEALINGS
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Aug. 2 UN.S0
The stock market today put in
the dullest performance since the
crash two weeks ago.
The apathy in speculative
circles was enhanced by an er-
ratio trend in commodity markets.
This was reflected in the volume
Of trading, which fell under yes
terday's small total.
Fall With Commodities
Stocks turned down with COM
Inodities, and many issues, par
ticularly in the Steels, rails and
motors, went under the previous
close. Volume the first hour was
100000 shares, but it was only
half this in the second hour, in
dicating the falling off in specula-
tive interest.
The Pennsylvania coal strike,
which threatened to tie up the
tndustrys supplies, weighed down
the steel shares despite the rela-
lively good showing made by pro-
duction for the week.
rover output also Olu WeA1'
going to a new peak for the year,
but this fell flat as an influence
on the utilities, which pointed
lower in dull trading.
FURRY in Farm Shares
Farm stocks staged an early
furry on the initial bulge in
grains, but turned downward
later.
Repeal shares continued to make
a good showing. Early gains ran
to more than three points and
these were largely retained when
the market turned sluggish. Pool
activity was reported behind their
advance.
Tobaccos turned strong later on
revival of reports of an imminent
rise in wholesale cigaret prices.
Motors were unsettled by Au-
burns poor earnings statement,
and failed to recapture their re-
cent vigor.
Oils and coppers we're dull and
quiet. Merchandising ares
marked time. Rails backed and
filled in a narrow range.

STEEL DEMAND
|SFOUND WELL
MAINTAINED

NEW YORK, Aug. 2 G.N.S).
Steel demand is showing unex.
pected staying powers, with ingot
production unchanged from a
week ago at 81 per cent Of capac.
ity, the Iron Age Review says to-
day.
Operations at Pittsburgh have
declined from so to 49 per cent,
at Chicago from Sc to So r r cent,
at Buffalo from so to 81 per cent
and in the Wheeling district from
80 to IS per cent.
Good Gains Elsewhere
On the other hand. production
in the eastern Pennsylvania dis
trict has risen sharply from Al to
well over At per cent, the rate in
the Cleveland -Lorain zone has ad-
vanced from ST to SO per cent and
there have been slight gains in
minor centerS.
From present indications steel
output this month is less likely
to be affected by seasonal influ-
ences than by shortage Of fuel.
Efforts of the United Mine Work.
ers to unionize coal and coke
operations in southwestern Penn
sylvania have assumed threaten.
ing proportions, in some cases
causing entire suspension Of work.
May Exhaust Stores
Continuance of these labor dit.
ficulties for any length of time
might we'll result in the eXhaus-
ton of accumulated supplies Of
fuel and pig iron, with an ulti-
mate curtailment or stoppage OF
steel production at various plants.
Demand from the automobile
industry, the largest single con-
sumer of iron and steel, is hold
ing up unusually well. Produc-
ton of motor cars last week
reached a new high point for the
year and assemblies for July are
expected to total 100000 units.
Output in August, according to
present indications, will compare
favorably with the performances
of June and July.
Ship Program Aids
Makers of heavy rolled steel
products will benefit from the
Governments naval program. For
16 vessels allotted last week to
navy yards for construction, the
steel requirements include PITTS
tons of plates, OATS tons Of
shapes and 1000 tons of STAIN
less steel sheets. For 81 vessels
on which bids have been taken
from private builders 45,45O tons
of plates and shapes will be re-
quired.
Owing to a further slight up
ward adjustment in delivered
prices on Southern pig iron, the
Iron Age pig iron composite has
advanced from $3.50 to 1854 a
ton. The finished steel and scrap
composites are unchanged at
1870 a lb. and $12.O8 a ton
respectively.

MARKET SCARS
WITH STEEL
LEADING
Rv LESLIE GOULD


NEW YORK, April 19 Q.N.S0. e.
The stock market scared ! to 4
points today in enormous trading
following the decision Of the Ad-
ministration to forbid further
gold exports and allow the dollar
to find its own level against other
foreign exchange.
This inflationary development
led to tremendous buying of
stocks and commodities. Wheat
spurted nearly 3 cents bushel,
cotton $1.25 a bale, and silver 3
cents an ounce.
Rate Cut Forced
The character of the market
was confirmed by weakness in
Government bonds and break
in the utilities. Helping to unset
tie the latter was the action taken
by New York city to force rate
cut. Rails likewise Jagged.
Silver stocks scared, led by U.
8. Smelling and American Smelt-
ing. All mining shares were up
sharply while rubber stocks
rushed up under the leadership
Of Goodyear.
Steel Leadership
q. S. Steel resumed it's old place
as leader of the market and rose
2 points to a new high for the
year in huge dealings. General
Motors was equally active and was
taken in blocks running to 5000
shares.
The high speed ticker was
swamped and was behind twice in
the forenoon, the first time five
minutes late.
American Telephone weakened
with the utilities and equalled its
low for the year. Consolidated
Gas was down more than points
before it met support.
Other than utilities and rails,
buying of stocks was indiscrimin-
ate.

COLD EMBARGO.
SENDSCOTTON
UPWARD

NEW YORK. April 19 dN.S).
A wave of buying greeted Prest.
dent Roosevelt's announcement
of the gold embargo today and
cotton futures scared as much
as $1.25 a bale above previous
closing levels.
Weakness in the dollar COM
bined with strength in securi-
ties and grain stimulated a heavy
trade and speculative demand
for contracts which was met with
scarcity of offerings. After
Liverpool cables had been 3 to
6 American points above due
prices, futures, here, scored ad.
vances of IL to % points and
maintained these levels through
the forenoon.

By the Associated Press.
To meet President Hoover's request,
the Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee today favorably reported resolu-
ton authorizing the Executive to place
an embargo on arms to nations at war
OIL threatening war.
Mr.. Hoover requested such authority
in a special message to Congress yes
terday, in event ratification of the 1925
Geneva convention to suppress the
arms traffic was impossible
The committee today discussed the
convention, but Chairman Borah said
it was preferred to take the other
course. Considerable opposition has
been voiced against the Geneva pact in
the past.
Borah said he saw no reason why the
resolution should not be passed at this
session
William r. Castle, Undersecretary Of
State, and Francis A. White, Assistant
Secretary in Charge of Latin American
Affairs, were before the committee, and
told of the administration wishes to
promote peace in Latin America, especi-
ally through the arms embargo plan.
Secretary Stimson, in a statement at
tached to the Presidents message, yes
terday cited the Chaco dispute between
Paraguay and Bolivia, without naming
those countries, and urged approval Of
the Presidents suggestion.
Mr.. Hoover said in his message that
If the treaty could not be ratified it was
urgent that legislation be passed con-
ferring upon the President authority in
his discretion to limit or forbid ship
ments Of arms for military purposes in
cases where special undertakings of CO.
operation can be secured with the prfn-
cipal arms manufacturing nations"
