OUTLOOK IMPROVES
Trade Encouraged to Go Ahead
With Plans for Display in
Autumn of 1885.
Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, August 30.-Export,
Government and industrial purchases
next month are expected to lift ma
chine tool orders out of the mid
Summer low level, which was reached
after the steady downtrend from vir-
tually the start of the year. Just be-
fore the turn of the year orders
reached a two-year peak.
Prospects of business have encour-
aged the trade to 60 ahead with plans
for the machinery exposition in the
Autumn of 1895.
Machine toolmakers are eyeing
every movement in the American
Soviet debt discussions because they
stand to win or Jose $l2,000,000 of
Russian machinery business by he
decision reached. If these orders do
not come here, as a result of The
Johnson act, it is probable the Soviet
will meet its machinery needs in Ger
many.
Although most machine tool in
quirieS now seem to be emanating
from Europe and the Far East-and
they always take sharp upturn, With
out being converted into actual 5usi-
ness, on ''war scares"-many export
ers here are urging better sales efforts
in the Near East and mid Europe, or
with countries temporarily somewhat
cool to Germany, which, in the past,
furnished them with machinery. The
Navy building program is expected to
produce some orders.

NEW YORK, August S0.-Stocks
moved nervously today as some trad
ers lightened positions preparatory to
the Labor day recess. After a sharp
sell-off in the morning. the list stiff
fened. The drift was downward
again in the last hour, Some of the
metals showed resistance. The close
was rather heavy. Transfers approxi-
mated 650,000 shares.
Scattered mining stocks responded
somewhat half-heartedly to the state
ment of administrative adviser, Prof.
Warren, in Germany, that the world
price Of gold should be doubled. The
rails, however, were generally under
pressure. The market apparently was
handicapped by the threatened ma
tional textile walkout, another sharp
decline in the British pound and in
dustrial uncertainties.
Grains were narrow. Cotton
dropped, but rubber improved. Bonds,
including United States Government
securities, pointed lower.
Shares of United States Smelling
and Dome Mines worked a little
higher, while American Smelling.
Mcintyre and the other metals Just
about held their own. Union Pacific
dropped 2 points and Santa Fe halved
a similar loss. United States Steel
preferred gave up some 2 points on a
few transfers. New York Central,
Southern Pacific and Pennsylvania
Jagged. Cuban-American Sugar, COM
mon and preferred, were in demand
for moderate gains. Johns -Manville,
Westinghouse, Auburn and a number
of others yielded around a point each.
