Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, Aug. 28.-Under the
leadership of steels and motors,
stocks rallied selectively in today's
market after an early tumble Of /
to points attributed mainly to a
revival of European war tension.
Prices began to improve around
midday and, in late dealings, ex-
treme losses were reduced to many
instances or converted into modest
advances. Most closing quotations,
however, were on the offside, re-
coveries giving away here and there
at the finish
With axis and anti-aXiS military
forces poised for what could be the
greatest combat since the start Of
the world debacle in 1914, traders in
the forenoon reverted to pessimism
and scurried to neutral territory.
Offerings, however, were compare
lively light and this, brokers laid,
tended to bring in little support.
Transfers for the five hours ap-
proximated 100000 shares.
The feeling in boardrooms was
that war or peace would be decided
probably within the space of hours.
That the showdown was imminent
was seen in the return trip Of AM
bassador Henderson with Englards S
reply to Germany's proposals re-
garding Poland which, reports had
it. was far from indicating a new
'appeaSement Traders consequent
ly, while refusing to get panicky,
were hardly in mood to leap to
bulliSh conclusions.
Some financial quarters. at the
same time, were encouraged by talk
of mediation by Mussolini and by
the fact the overseas conflict cur
! rently was being confined largely to
a war of words Several professed
to see signs the Fuehrer was willing
TO postpone der tag and negotiate.
Although stock prices tumbled in
the forenoon to within reaching dis
tance OF last June's lows, commits
sion houses suggested the small
amount of selling accompanying the
decline was mainly Of a speculative
character and that investment port
follos, on the whole, were still undis-
turbed.
prominent shares in the resistant
class were Crysler, General Motors.
United States Steel, Bethlehem and
Standard Oil of New JERSEY.
Inclined to lag were MONTGOMERY
ward, Sears Roebuck, Douglas Air
craft, Anaconda Anericap 10,
Eastman Kodak, Philip Morris. j. C.
Penney, American Telephone,
North American and Goodrich.
Steels were aided by an uneX-
pected officially estimated jump in
this weeks mill operations. The
rate was placed at 0.8 of a point
above the preceding week at 63 per
cent OF capacity, top mark since
October IL, 1887.

Cotton Prices Register
Moderate Changes
Al End Of Week
Old Type Futures OFF
13 to IS Points on
New York Market
Stock and
Dividend Rafa
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Aug. 28-Cotton
prices f1uctuated nervously during
the last week in consequence of the
seriously threatening situation in
Europe, but net changes during the
period were moderate.
On the New York Cotton Ex-
change active old type futures con-
tracts showed net losses for the
week of 13 to Is points.
Usual market factors were virtu-
ally ignored in the face of events in
Europe. Merchants, spinners, and
other traders kept as closely in
touch as possible with news tickers,
radios and news bulletin services in
efforts to keep informed up to the
minute on happenings on the other
side of the ocean.
Increases in War-riSk insurance
rates, the generalization of sterling
exchange. and fluctuations in prices
of cotton in Liverpool aside from
those resulting from changes in ex-
change rates were noted anxiously
Prices of cotton in Liverpool ad-
vanced sharply, while prices in this
country declined, as was to be ex-
pected when war threats rise. The
advances at Liverpool were due not
only to the declines in sterling, but
also to the present short supplies
in that market and the possible diff
ficulties in keeping that market sup
piled in the event of major conflict.
The domestic market tended to
ease as tension in Europe increased
because of the prospect that-if the
European nations should resort to
arms, substantial market for cot
ton in Central, Europe would be cut
of.
The domestic crop outlook did not
appear to change greatly during
the week. In the eastern and CEN
tral parts of the belt there were
definitely unwanted rains In the
western part there were also rains,
but in these areas they were be-
'neved beneficial
Weekly exports statistics still
show no expansion of shipments of
cotton by this country in conse-
quence of the export subsidy. Dur
ing the week ending with the close
on Thursday exports totaled 81 900
bales, compared with $4,000 in the
same week last season. During the
season to date they have totaled
only 10000 bales, compared with
1877 900 in the same period last sea-
son. However, some traders held it
was too early for these statistics to
show any increase, since the bulk
of the cotton crop has not yet begun
to move to market Export sales
last week were believed to have been
slow in consequence of the critical
situation in Europe.

CHICAGO, Aug. 28.-Althoueh
the war scare continued to keep the
grain market in turmoil today. SELL

the session and prices retreated
sharply from early gains of q. to
2s4 cents a bushel.
Just before the close all but 1s-lh
cents of the early strong advance
was wiped out but the market
steadied at this level
Uncertainty regarding the out
come of the crisis in Europe was the
most unsettling market factor.
Some traders expressed surprise that
