Stock Market Drifts
Moderately Lower
In Quiet Dealings
By Roder Wineet
AssoeIoted Press finoneiol Writer

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-An apa-
thetic stock market drifted lower
today by fractions to about a
point.
The downward movement was
without selling pressure but spread
fairly generally throughout the
list.
A number of individual issues
countered the trend with frac-
tional gains, but the show of
strength was spotty.
Distillers were higher, chem
icals. motion pictures and copper
mining shares were mixed and
rails. steels, motors and oils we're
lower.
The indecisive nature of trad
ing was more or less a projection
of last weeks final trend. The
market was lower three days out
Of five but the entire week showed
a net gain. The last two trading
days found prices slipping.
On the downside today were
Gulf Oil, Standard Oil New Jer-
sey, Nickel Plate, Santa Fe,
Union Pacific, Chesapeake & Ohio,
Southern Railway. Loew's, United
States Gypsum, United Gas Corp,
American Smelling, Air Reduc-
ton. United States Steel, General
Motors, Goodyear. Montgomery
Ward. J. I. Case and Interna-
ttonal Telephone & Telegraph.
Tending higher at times were
Transcontinental & Western Air,
Paramount (old). Kennecott Cop
per. Allied Chemical Dow Chem
ical, Du Pont. Philip Morris,
American Tobacco. United States
Rubber. Lockheed, Schenley, Ma
tional Distillers and Johns Man
Vile.
The bond market was quiet with
the exception Of Missouri Pacific
loans, which were up as a result
of Interstate Commerce Commits
sion approval of the systems re-
organization plan. United States
Government securities in the over
the-counter market were un-
changed in slow trading.

Wage Disputes End
Talk Of General
Steel Price Cut
BY the Associoted Press

CLEVELAND. Aug. 15.-"Talk
Of a general steel price reduction
now has faded to a whisper, "
Steel magazine said today.
Uncertainty clouds the long
term outlook for business" Steel
reported. THE trend over the re-
mainder of the year = hinges
largely on settlements in the cur
rent steel and automotive wage
disputes, especially the former,
which may set the pattern for
most other industries.
Buying last week in steel was
more active, but mill order back
logs continue to shrink, the maga-
zine found. It said new business
fell short of outgoing shipments.
Demand by home appliance
manufacturers for steel products
and inventory replenishment have
slightly bolstered "sagging" steel
making operations. Steel said.
adding that several idle open
hearth and electric furnaces were
put back to use last week.
The industry's main business
still comes from automotive and
related industries, the magazine
said, warning that it would not
be surprising" if automotive steel
buying were cut next month in
the event that a steel strike is
averted.
It explained that auto builders
have been taking more steel than
they actually need as strike insur-
ance.
Steelmaking, the magazine re-
ported, increased for the third
consecutive week, rising one point
to 825 per cent of capacity, high
est since June.
