1t was pointed out that much
o. the heavy estimated reductions
in army buying constituted only
paper cuts, since it had been as
sumed beforehand that there would
be great lessening before the year

In announcing the Navy cutback,

men was put off to VI Day.
Snyder, in announcing the Navy

Fractional Declines
End Recovery Swing
In Light Session
BY VICTOR EUBANK.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The stock
markets recovery move faltered to-
day as realizing pulled down recent
ly buoyant low-ouoted motors and
light selling opposition appeared in
other departments.
A certain negative cheer was de-
rived from the fact that liquidation
never attained any real urgency
from the start. Declines generally
were limited to fractions and there
was a smattering of plus marks in
evidence near the finish. Turnover
for the full proceedings of around
TOO 900 shares was one of the small
est since early April.
Investment caution was accentu-
ated by the ending of the Big Three
parley at Potsdam and the desire of
customers to await the published
results of the conference expected
Friday. Possible developments in
the Japanese war also tended to re-
strain buying fervor Earnings and
peace-time optimism remained as
bullish factors.

Civilian Steel Users
Increase Orders
E. the Associated Press.

e. the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The civilian
steel supply picture showed little
change this week, but there were
indications that a sudden end Of
the Pacific war might alter the
situation considerably, Iron Age
said today in a review Of steel con-
ditions.
For the time being, at least, de-
liveries to civilian steel users are
in no better positions than they
were a month ago." the review said
Rated steel orders are still heavy
and backlo9s on such business are
large.
However, in the past week many
civilian steel consumers have be-
come tired standing on the order
sideline and have stepped up the
volume of their orders even though
they have no idea when deliveries
will be made. Among such con-
sumers are the automobile group
and home appliance makers.
Just as steel users with nom
rated business have awakened to
the fact that heavy and severe war
cancellations would greatly change
the steel market picture SO have
steel producers themselves. The lat
ter have set up so-called precau-
tionary schedules that could be
quickly put into operation should
war events take a sudden turn for
an ending"
