NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-The war

on Europe's political tables today
and financial markets generally re-
sumed the retreat.
Stocks dipped / to 3 points at
one time, but slowness of dealings
provided some consolation for bull

Late reports Italy might attempt

War staples rose and those in
other categories displayed mixed to
lower tendencies Bonds were we'll
down on small volume. Foreign
markets turned in a losing per-
formance throughout.
Dampening speculative spirits at
the start was the announcement
England, preparing for the worst,
would tomorrow evacuate from pop
ulous centers children. aged men
and women and invalids to the
number of some 100000. Additional
British naval and army reserves
were called out in the shift toward
full mobilization.
At home, the apparent reluctance
OF sellers to dump holdings was at
tributed to the continuance of good
business prospects and the belief Of
most boardroom observers that
even if the international bloWup
eventuates, industry will be buoved
by large purchases of materials here
by those nations which have several
billions in funds and securities al
ready in this country.
Confirming the relative brightness
of the domestic economic scene in
the minds of analysts were todav's
