Stock Market Holds

100000 Shore Volume
Recorded as Traders
Awoit Developments
By VICTOR ECBANK.

ASSOCIATED Press FINANCIAL writer.
NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Leading
stocks crawled over narrow course
in today's market as traders waited
for developments in the battle Of
England.
While speculative contingents
seemed a bit less nervous than in
the preceding session-many still re-
tanned the hope Britain would be
able to withstand the terrific air on
slaughtS of the Nazis-the ma jority
inclined to keep commitments light
pending more definite information
from abroad.
Germany's announcement of a
complete blockade of the British
Isle, together with persistence of
the Hitler bombing blasts served TO
inspire additional caution.
Industrial UpswinE Expected.
The general reluctance of i'm
portant holders of stocks to part
with their certificates was attributed
partly to the growing belief an in
dustrial upswing was due soon when
defense spending gets under way on
a big scale
Cloudiness of the national tax pro-
gram remained as a confusing ele-
ment marketwise and, until this
matter Is settled, some analysts
looked for divergent financial trends
Aside from European bulletins, the
acceptance speech Of Presidential
Candidate Willkie, due later in the
day. was the subject of much dis
cuSsion
Boosting the two-hour volume to
around 100000 shares was sale of
a 13,OOO-share block of Graham
Paige at y, unchanged.
Among Resistant Stocks.
Among resistant stocks were
United States Steel, Republic Steel.
General Motors, Chrysler, Sears
Roebuck, Montgomery Ward, United
Aircraft, American Smelling, Ana
conda, Westinghouse, General Elec-
trio. Du Point, j. C. Penney, New
York Central. Pennsylvania and
Southern Pacific
Backward at times were Beth
lehem. Phelps Dodge, Eastman Ko-
dak, Chesapeake e. Ohio, Youngs-
town Sheet and Sperry.
Tending to buoy bullish spirits
we're forecasts steel mill operations
next week would recover from the
moderate recession of the week be-
fore, expanding sales of copper, a
jump in home furnishings demand
throughout the Nation, higher in
quiries from railroads for new
freight cars and locomotives and
expectations of nearby upturn in
automobile output.
Supported in a spotty and apa-
thetic curb were Electric Bond &

Pittsburg Plate Glass. Behind &C.

The Political Mill
Progressives Have Chance for Mischief
In Wisconsin Preferential Primary

indicate that he Is candidate. He
has backed away from committing
himself in any shape or form to
candidacy for denomination. AL the
steps looking to his denomination
have been taken by those of his
friends who insist that his renom-
ination is necessary both for DEM
ocratic victory and for a contin-
uance of the New Deal. But If he
permits his name to go before the
voters in these primary contests
when he is at liberty to withdraw
his name, it will be difficult to con-
vince the voters generally that he is
not a candidate-and more than a
receptive candidate.
If the Presidents name remains
in the primaries in Illinois and Wis
consin it is unlikely that the names
of any of the Democratic candi-
dates for the presidential nomina-
tion other than that of Vice Presi-
dent Garner will be entered. Garner
is the only candidate who has made
it clear he will run whether the
President runs or not. Federal Sc
curity Administrator Paul v. McNutt
has said definitely he will not be
candidate if the President is. Sena-
tor Wheeler of Montana, although
he is against a third term on prin-
ciple, has said he will not make the
race for the nomination if the Pres
ident is a candidate.
Other Candidates Wait.
Should the President take himself
out of the picture in the Wisconsin
primaries, Wheeler might have
very good chance of landing the
preference. 1t will be too late for
him to 60 into the Illinois primary
because the filing period for the
primary there closed last night. In
Wisconsin, the Montana Senator Is
widely known. He was the running
mate-as vice presidential candi-
date-on the ticket with the late
Senator Bob" La Toilette in 1924
and the ticket carried in that State.
Wheeler has a wide following among
the liberals, and strong support in
the ranks of labor. It seems, how
ever. that he will take no steps to
enter the Wisconsin primary as long
as the President remains a candi-
date there.
AS long as the President remains
a potential candidate in the primary
States, there is no chance that Sec
retary of State Cordell Hull, Post
master General James A. Farley,
Senator Alben Barkley of Kentucky
or Gov. Lloyd c. Stark of Missouri
will be put forward openly and
strongly for the presidential nomi-
nation. 1t is quite true that Demo-
cratic leaders in number of the
States are inclining to Secretary
Hull-provided the President does
mott run. And it has long been ru-
mored he will be the choice of the
President when the time comes, par
ticularly if the international situa-
tion remains much as it is.
Mr.. Hull has an advantage over
Mr.. Garner. though both are from
the South. Texas denies the Negroes
the right to vote in Democratic pri-
maries, whereas in Tennessee, Mr..
Hull's State, Negroes are permitted
to vote and do vote in Democratic
primaries. This is likely to have its
effect when the Democrats think of
the big Negro vote in some of the
pivotal States like New York, ILL
nols, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
