~ seriousness over Anglo-Ger-
nan war developments.
Early efforts to extend last
nsek's recovery soon encountered
onnosition and prices generally
.1;pned fractions to around a point
before meeting support.
steels came back to finish with
x,odest gains in the face Of the
frst estimated dip in mill opera
lions following six consecutive
weekly advances. The setback of
one full point at 1875 per cent of
Oanacity was attributed mainly to
vscation suspension in several dis
,ricts and was believed to be tent
porary.
Intensification of the air battle
wei England tended to dim bull
ish sentiment which has been
growing recently in Wall street.
The result was that many traders
liohtened or shelved commitments
nendins more assurance the Brit
ish would be able to withstand
what some believed to be the start
If the long-threatened all OUT
Hitler invasion.
At the same time timidity of
sellers was evident throughout.
The principal sustaining influence,
brokers said, was the hope huge
defense spending would eventually
touch off a brisk upswing in vir-
tually all lines of industry. Even
without any great outlay of arma-
ment funds at the moment, bust
ness items were more encourag-
ing than otherwise, with bright
earnings statements and favorable
dividends eXemplifying progress.
The mild price revival in the
stock list in the afternoon enabled
the Associated Press average of
60 issues to finish unchanged at
43. Dealings continued sluggish,
both on the morning slip-up and in
the late steadying move. Trans
fers totalled 288, 240 shares against
