Stock Averages
60-StOck Range Since 1927:
BY VICTOR EUBANK.
Associated Press Financial Writer.

Associated FTeSS FINANCIAL Wrlter.
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-A handful
of specialties exhibited quiet strength
in today's stock market, but leaders
generally daWdled on the downside.
Dealings were SO slack, however,
that price changes lacked signifi-
canoe. Declines of fractions to
around a point were in the majority
at the close. Transfers approxi-
mated 250,000 shares.
AS in the past several weeks, the
spotty European war picture re-
ceived the principal blame for spec
ulative apathy.
While business straws, for the
most part, were viewed as con-
strucIive, slowness of defense SPEND
ing to take hold and further con-
gressional delays on whipping the
national tax program INTO shape
served to dim whatever buying urge
was present.
Both United States Steel and
Bethlehem were laggards rotwith-
standing the official summary put
ting this weeks mill operations up
notch. Wall Street had looked for a
minor setback owing to suspension
of furnaces in some plants for re-
pairs.
Brunswick Bake moved up on the
declaration of higher dividend, but
Standard Oil of Indiana was listless
after the voting of an extra" pay
ment on the common. More pleas
ing earnings statements impaired
scant vigor to issues concerned.
Under water most of the time
were Chrysler, Douglas Aircraft,
Santa Fe. New York Central. Texas
Corp, Union Carbide. General Elec-
trio, American Smelling and Ameri-
can Telephone. A wide assortment
of stocks was unchanged.
Resistant were Proctor & Gamble,
Worthington Pump. Lehigh Valley
Railroad, Brooklyn Manhattan
Transit, Allied Chemical, Sears
Roebuck and Standard Oil of New
Jersey.
