BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK. Aug. 12.-Quiet re-
sistance of steels and other selected
industrials steadied the stock mar
ket today after considerable early
hesitancy attributed to nervousness
over fresh war developments.
Prices edged forward at the start,
but soon backed away as intensifl-
cation of the air battle over England
caused many traders to tighten COM
mitments pending more assurance
the British could stave off what APP
peared to be the beginning of the
long threatened NaZi invasion.
A modest recovery got under way

Dealings we're about as slow on
the comeback as on the initial re-

Reluctance of share owners to part

valent idea in commission houses
that the huge armament spending

Index Of Commodities
Works Slightly Higher
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
AUBURNDALE, Mass. Aug. H.
The index of all commodities COM
piled by the McGill Commodity
Service, Inc, of Auburndale, Mass,
worked slightly higher during the
week ending August 9 and cur
rently stands at $50, as against
68.7 a week earlier and 73.5 at the
beginning of the year. Moreover
strength in the livestock group was
sufficient to outweigh slight de-
clines in the majority of other COM
modify classifcations. OF the IA
groups comprising the index only 2
were higher, while declined and
remained unchanged during the
week.
The industrial index dropped off
from 1873 a week ago to 756. In
this group lower prices were noted
for building materials, non-ferrous
metals, paint materials, paper and
pulp, coarse textiles and vegetable
oils Higher levels were noted only
in the case of fine textiles.
The agricultural index also de-
clined. Lower prices for wheat,
corn. oats, barley, rye. cotton, hay,
potatoes and f1aXseed more than off,
set strength that was noted in wool
and butter prices.
The livestock index advanced to
$50 from 628 a week ago Higher
prices were posted for cattle, hogs,
sheep and lambs.
The building materials group de-
clined. Weakness was attributable
solely to a lower average price for
Southern pine lumber.
After advancing rather sharply a
week ago the non-ferrouS metals
group declined during the last
week, as copper, lead. quicksilver
and tin were all lower.
The paint materials index dropped
off, as weakness in linSeed oil and
turpentine was sufficient to offset
slightly higher rosin prices.
The fine textile group, which
was one of the two to advance,
edged slightly higher as strength in
spot wool prices offset decline in
cotton.
Coarse textiles continued to drop
off, mainly due to weakness in bur-
lap.
The vegetable oils index dropped
to 642, as against 65.4 week ago.
Weakness was the result of lower
prices for cottonseed and linseed
oils.

Shipping Company Profits

Special Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. Aug. 12.-Shipping
company profits are running at rela-
lively high levels and should con-
tinue TO rise, according to Poor's
Industry and Investment Surveys.
Moreover, most of the country's &C
tive shipbuilding facilities are now
booked to capacity and the rate of
incoming orders assures heavy VOL
ume of work for several years.
Virtually all of our vessels
affected by the neutrality proclama-
lions have been transferred to prof.
liable routes outside war zones,
continues the analysis. The coastal
trade is experiencing a good volume
of operations. Although labor. oper-
ating costs and insurance rates have
restricted profit margins somewhat,
demand has been large enough to
permit freight rate increases more
than sufficient to offset higher costs.
Further upward rate adjustments
can be reasonably expected if de-
mand continues to expand.
oIlIpDNIlOllIS Opci dlAOliS "AAA OC
speeded up and volume will be eX-
banded far beyond current levels in
view of the Government awaken
ing to the pressing need for more
adequate facilities for national de-
Tense. The naval program will be
given precedence over merchant ma
rine work. even though no lessen
ing of activity in the latter is ex-
pected Shipbuilding facilities now
inactive undoubtedly will be recon-
ditioned and the prospects for con-
struction of new ways and yards are
good. Orders already on private
shipbiulders books will provide near
capacity operations for some time
to come, regardless of the duration
of the war" the survey concludes.

Chicago First National
Orders Special Dividend


CHICAGO, Aug. 12-Directors of
the First National Bank of Chicago
/ have declared special divi-
dend Of one share of the Middle
West Corp. stock in kind on each
share of the First National Bank
stock. payable September 3 of Au-
gust % record.
Edward E. Brown. president of
the bank, stated that the 100000
shares so declared as a dividend
are part of a total holding of sos .978
shares of Middle West stock now
owned by the bank. almost all of
which was acquired in settlement
of claims against the old Middle
West Utilities Co. at the time of
its reorganization. and the balance
in satisfaction of other debts due
the bank.
Under the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 1885, Mr.. Brown
said, the holder of more than 10
per cent of the stock of a utility
is defined as a holding company.
subject to the jurisdiction of the
Securities Exchange Commission.
Although the commission by regu-
lation has granted exemptions from
the holding company provisions in
such cases, the directors thought it
desirable to reduce its holdings of
the Middle West stock by declaring
this special dividend in view of the
condition of the security markets,
which makes it impossible at this
time, in the opinion of the bank, to
sell such a large block of stock at
its intrinsic value.
Mr.. Brown said that the banks
surplus and undivided profits would
not be affected by this dividend,
inasmuch as an amount equivalent
to the cost to the bank of the 100000
shares has been transferred from
reserve to undivided profits.

ing was completed a week ago.
More than eighteen hundred pas
sengers and many thousand pounds
Of mail have been transported.
In the past, flights have required
81 to 80 hours, with stops at Ber-
muda and at Horta, the Azores,
on the way from New York to
Lisbon.
Now, with seven months ex-
perience, Pan American has ar
ranged for heavier gasoline loads
and will omit Horta from the itin-
erary. The handling Of passengers
and mail was speeded. These inno-
vations are expected to reduce the
flying time to "a hours in good
weather.
