YOU AND /

Along the road we wander,
Just you and I.
What would we do if the Savior,
Should happen to come our way.
Would we stand and meet Him.
Or would we turn aside,
He who is always looking
For His dear lost child.
Would we stand with bowed head
And whisper a silent prayer
And ask His forgiveness
Of the many wrong things we
shared.

Persistent Heat Wave
Keeps Majority Of
Customers Away
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, July 27-Buyers
were shy and sellers equally timid
in today's stock market, with the
net result large-sized goose egg,
so far as real trends were con-
cerned.
Traders in most commission houses
could be counted on the fingers of
one hand. A persistent heat wave
and general speculative apathy
drove the majority of customers to
the country, and those who were
courageous enough to put in an ap-
pearance found little inspiration to
do much either way.
Numerous pivotal stocks failed to
register on the ticker tape and the
ones in which scant transactions
were effected usually kept losses and
gains to inconsequential fractions or
were sold at Fridays final quota
tons
The volume of around 100000
shares was the smallest for any Sat-
urday since Aug. 3, 1918, and COM
pared with 1920 in the preceding
tWo-hour session.
Brokers said the European War
continued as the main market
handicap. In addition there were
doubts regarding the forthcoming
tax burden of industry, plus the
inability of many analysts to reach
definite conclusion regarding the
nf q
presidential campaign.
United States Steel was resistant
as talk was heard of directors vot-
ing another ST dividend on the COM
mon at next Tuesdays meeting. A
similar payment was Unexpectedly
made in March. Guesses on the
corporations second quarter earn
ings, which are to be released next
week were in the neighborhood of
the $114 a share shown in the first
three months.
Rails kept their balance as early
statements pointed to the probable
ity class l roads in June attained a

THE week in the wool trade has
