issues made wider swings later in the day. DuPont was one of them. It touched 90 for a gain of F points when it's directors declared an extra dividend of 50 cents, thus passing on to stockholders the ex- tra dividend received by DuPont from General Motors corporation. DuPont, largest General Motors stockholder, holds about as many shares of the latter as it has shares outstanding.
 Steel shares were steady to firm until the American Iron & Steel 1n- stitute announced the rate of op- erations of the industry at 21.3 per cent, a decline of a point from last week and a new low for the year. Steel common dipped frac- tionally and Bethlehem sold off a point.
 Building issues were about un- changed as were oils, utilities and mercantile issues fluctuated nar- rowly. Amusements resisted sell- ing on the report of increased ate tendance at motion picture thea- ters. Sears Roebuck was steadied by its sales and earnings report for the A weeks ended July 16. It showed income of $6,S0S,1S9, against S1,619,S11 in corresponds ing period of 1883. Sales were up 29 per cent and the ratio of sales to profit rose from 1.5 to AS per cent.

 New York, Aug. 20 - (UP) = Today's trading on the New York Stock Exchange was a typical be- fore -the-war session. Satisfactorily the volume was the lightest in more than a decade. Price move- ments were practically nil, small gains offsetting equally smalf loss eS.
 Board rooms were deserted. Floor traders spent three hours for lunch. Those who remained played checkers in the smoking room back of the trading floor. Those on the floor together with the brokers did a few hundred shares of business. Some did noth- ing at all.
 Back in the days before the war when the price of calf's liver was To cents a pound, and stock busi- ness could be done on corre- spondingly low overhead, brokers made money with day like this one. In the present markets, with costs high, it is estimated that at least a million share turnover is needed for the financial commun- ity to break even."
 An idea of the lethargy can be seen in the list of active stocks up to 2 D. m. International Nickel had top place on that group with total turnover of only 6,6O0 shares. General Motors was next with 5,700; U. S. Steel third with 4,200 shares, and Chrysler and Radio Corporation tied for fourth place with 4,000 shares.
 Transactions in the first hour amounted to 60,000 shares; in the second to 50.000; in the third to 30,O0O and in the fourth to 10000 shares. The total to the end of the fourth hour was only 1SO,00O shares, against 440,000 shares ir the corresponding period last Fri day, the previous 5-hour session.
 Opening share prices were prac- tically unchanged. In only a few instances did the net changes eX- ceed the smallest unit of f1uctua- tion-o-ne-eight point. A few
