BY the Associated Press.


CLEVELAND, July 23.-The War
Production Boards attempt to clear
the complicated mill situation in
steel sheets and strip by freezing
books has had little effect thus far,
the trade publication Steel declared
today.
Mills have received few cancel

pear soon," the magazine said.
Steel reported that "as a result Of
the tightness there Is limited op-
portunity to schedule sheets, strip,
bars and wire for civilian products
before the fourth quarter, except in
cases where priority relief is af-
forded."
However, some manufacturers of
automobile parts are able to place
orders for early shipment, Steel
said. Some of the tonnage In

Rail Stocks Retreat
With Industrials
In Uneven Market
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer,


NEW YORK, July 23.-While q
few stock market favorites man.
aged to make some recovery head
way today, rails back-tracked along
with many industrial leaders.
The pace was relatively slow from
the start. Declines OF fractions to
a point or so predominated near
the fourth hour.
Contract examinations and busi-
ness transition worries, based mainly
on the idea the Japanese might
suddenly fold, still provided the
principal bearish influence. Numer-
Gus customers stood aside to await
results from the PotSdam parley
and the final count on the British
elections. Props remained in earn
ings, dividends and general invest
ment optimism.
On the offside most of the session
were Santa Fe, Southern Pacific,
Northern Pacific, Bethlehem, Chrys-
Ter, U. S. Rubber, Montgomery
Ward, Kennecott, General Electric,
Texas Co., Radio Corp and Eastman
Kodak. Liveliest issue was Pan
American Airways, which did little
or nothing. Resistant were Amer
lean Telephone, Sears Roebuck,
United States Steel, Goodrich, Boe-
ing and International Nickel.
Bonds were mixed.
Occasional curb stumblers includ-
ed Colon Development, Electric
Bond & Share and Niagara Hudson
Power.

Bank Stock Yields
Moderate as Result
OF Rising Prices
By EDWARD c. STONE.


Bank stocks listed on the Wash
ington Stock Exchange are giving
only moderate yields at present
prices, q survey discloses, the best
return being on National Bank of
washington shares. On the last
sale at la, this stock yielded 4.l6
per cent. Since then the bid has
jumped to 158 which indicates a
considerably lower yield on the next
transfer.
American Security is yielding
around 298 per cent; Bank of
Bethesda, 1877; National Capital,
l.35; Union Trust, 227; and Wash
ington Loan & Trust, 2.78. Riggs
National common has been yielding
2.84 but this return advanced
slightly last week when the stock
sold considerably under 1922 a
share.
Most bank stocks have started
the second quarter at or near their
best 1945 prices. This is true Of
shares on the Washington Exchange
and of those sold over the counter.
Stock Strong on Exchange.
Hecht Co. common has been listed
on the Washington Stock Exchange
almost exactly one year and during
that time has made an excellent
record. First sale on the board was
at 81. The stock closed 1914 at Is.
At 81 earlier this year, the stock
moved up to top of 26 and Is now
selling around Is. 1t has been by
far the most popular stock on the
exchange ever since 1t was listed.
So far this year around $500 shares
have changed hands.
Market Near 1929 High.
In his mid-July review, Brig. Gen.
Leonard P. Ayres says stock prices
measured in terms of their yields
are now nearly as high as they were
In the average month in 1929 when
the greatest of all bull markets
reached its climax.
An average that year shows the
prices of all dividend paying COM
mon stocks traded on the New York
Exchange were "a times their divi-
dendS. In June of this year prices
were 23.5 times their dividends. One
reason for the high prices, without
any great f1areup of speculation,
is that bond prices are extremely
high and yields correspondingly low,
he said.
Life insurance companies brought
$4,000 5000 in War Bonds for their
own accounts in the recent drive.
Purchases for the seven drives
totaled $15,210,0 900, the Institute
of Life Insurance reported today.
Kincaid New Vice President.
Directors of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Richmond have appointed
DR.. E. A. Kincaid vice president,
Chairman Robert Lassiter an
nounced today. DR.. Kincaid has
been the banks director of research
since January /, 1887, and has often
addressed Washington bankers on
economic subjects.
The Richmond bank reports that
building permits in the nth dis
trict in the first half year amounted
to $24,654,041 against s$l3, 3,6ll $50 a
year ago. June permits totaled S4,-
034, TAO compared with s4,275,399
year ago.
Financial District Comment.
Howard Moran, vice president OF
the American Security & Trust Co.,
is passing his vacation in Pennsyl-
vania.
The Treasury is offering B%
certificates, Series F-1946, in ex-
change for Series E-1945 certificates
