'Stock1ist Steadier,
But Volume Declines
To Week S Low
By Victor Eubonk
Asseeioted Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, July 31.-Stocks
generally regained their equilibrium
in today's market but the buying was
timid and activity the lowest of the
week.
Some short covering and invest
ment demand wA based on the
thought that three straight falling
sessions to an average bottom since
July 2 had placed the list in a much
more favorable technical position.
Bullish enthusiasm was chilled a
bit by another slump in the London
market after early steadiness. Climb
ing prices for steel and other lines
still inspired caution because of the
outlook for growing consumer re-
sistance.
Dealings were sluggish from the
start. While many leaders did little
or nothing, advances of fractions to
2 points or so predominated near
the fourth hour.
London Market Weak.
LONDON, July 81 tP.-Persistent
selling forced stock exchange prices
still lower today. The market was
described as extremely weak at the
close.
Factors accounting for the new
pressure on prices were Britain's
economic crisis and the disclosure of
further heavy Withdrawals from the
United States loan.
