Stock Leaders Drift
IrreguIar|y Lower
In Late Dealings
BY VICTOR EUBANK.
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Leading
stocks developed an irregularly
lower drift in today's market after
an opening attempt to extend the
recent mild recovery failed to get
anywhere.
Professionals, brokers said, still
more bearish than otherwise, were
disposed to cash even the meager
profits accruing on the slight up
turn of the past three sessions and
retire to the safety zone to await
possible weekend eventualities on
world battle fronts. The timidity of
buyers lately also was viewed as a
cautionary signal and, with tax
questions unsolved and the big Gov
ernment bond drive approaching
discretion was deemed the better
part OF valor IN most cases.
Gold mines, scattered aircrafts
and industrials did fairly we'll at
the start, but the majority backed
down from best levels in the final
hour and near-closing declines of
fractions to point or so were well
distributed. Dealings remained
among the slowest of 1943. Trans
fers were around 400, 1000 shares.
In the backward class were U,
S. Steel, Bethlehem, Southern Pa
clfic, Santa Fe, General Motors,
Chrysler, General Electric. U. S.
Rubber. Montgomery Ward, Ana
conda, Texas Co. and American
Smelling. Dome Mines recorded a
new high for the year before en-
countering opposition. Resistance
was displayed by Homestake Mines,
Mcintyre Porcupine, Douglas Air
craft and Johns-Manville.
Bonds were relatively steady.

Credit Delinquencies Decrease.
The American Bankers Associa-
ton announced that an analysis of
delinquencies on installment repay
ments of consumer credit loans re-
sulting from the Soldiers and Sail
ors' Civil Relief Act during the
month of June showed a slight de-
crease as compared with the pre-
ceding three months of l943.
The analysis was prepared by the
consumer credit department of
ABA, under direction of Walter B.
French, deputy manager of the as
association.
There was slight increase in de-
linquencies of all types of loans
overdue from one to IA days.
The slight decline in Civil Relief
Act delinquencies was attributed to
the fact that the rate of induction
of men into the armed forces re-
ceded, beginning with the month OF
June, from the peak numbers in
Quoted in earlier months of the
year. On the other hand, the slight
overall increase in June delinquen-
cies one to IA days overdue resulted
from the fact that many borrowers
had to meet income tax payments
which fell due in that month.
Department store sales in the
Richmond Federal Reserve district,
including Washington during the
week ending August 81 increased
per cent over the same week a
year ago, while such sales for the
year to August 81 in the same area
gained II per cent over the COM
parable period in 1a42, according
to statement by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve
system.
For the country as a whole de-
partment store sales showed an in
crease of Is per cent during the
week ending August 81 and the gain
for the year up to that date was
IA per cent over the same period
in 1912.
Dalals Federal Reserve district led
the country with gain of So per
cent in the single week, and an in
crease of 42 per cent for the year
to August 81.

the fact the Republicans and

Another element of his

POLITICAL PARADE
BY GEORGE ROTHWELL BROWN

at $4,000, 900, 900 of which by
far the larger part would be
contributed by the latter, many
members of the House banking
and currency committee feel
that the admission of a limited
congressional group to the pre-
liminary conferences. as non
voting observers, should no
longer be deferred.
WHAT is feared, and the Sc
" crecy enveloping the whole
affair is conductive to this fear,
is that the executive branch of
the government is preparing TO
ignore the legislative branch,
precisely as it was ignored when
the Hot Springs international
food conference was called.
1t is probable that nothing
would now be known of the plan
tentatively ounced last
spring by Secretary Morgen-
THAI, but for premature pub
LEGATION in London. This was
followed by the publication in
Washington of what appeared
TO be a somewhat modified plan

Keynes plan.
Apparently, the bank would
do an internationl banking bust
ness. guaranteeing loans, and
selling gold and foreign ex-
change through an international
sterilization fund.

terested in the method devised
