NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-New war
qualms today served as an excuse
for light selling in the stock market.
The list shifted over an irregular
route in the early proceedings.
Steels, motors and aircrafts then
began to slip and. at the worst. de-
clines ran to point or more Most
leaders finished not far from the
days lows.
Dealings, fairly lively in the first
hour, slackened from then on, and
the ticker tape frequently was at
standstill. Transfers approximated
100000 shares.
Invasion of England Feared.
Dispatches from abroad limiting
that the long-threatened Nazi in
vasion of England might be near
ing fulfllment, brokers said, tended
to chill buying sentiment, and many
nervous holders lightened commit
ments to be on the safe side.
Speculative forces again were dis
posed to step warily pending final
congressional action on the ma
tlonal taxing program and more
light on presidential campaign
trends. Numerous bright corpora
ton earnings statements seemed to
offer scant inspiration marketwise.
Non-ferrouS metal issues were
handicapped by reductions in cop

Tax Moves Watched.
In the matter of taxes, the opinion
was expressed in financial quarter,
that the adoption of either of tht

Electrical equipments were aided
at intervals by reports of growing
demand in this field. The squirt in

to have sent turbine orders to a new

totaling more than 100000 horse
