Stock Market Drifts
FractisnaIIy Lower
In Dull Dealings
BY the Assoeiefsd Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 26. The
stock market logged along lazily
in slightly lower price ground to-
day.
Losses didn't amount to much
although a couple Of recently
popular oil stocks lost more than
a point-and numerous shares
either remained at Thursday S
final levels or gingerly moved
ahead.
Turnover was at the slowest
rate of the week. The absence of
any large deals in some of the
lower priced issues helped keep
the sales figure low.
The markets action was about
on a par with Wednesday and
Thursday when minor price
changes and a degree Of stability
followed a three-day decline.
Texas Pacific Land Trust
stepped out Of the narrow price
pattern with a raise Of around a
points on comparatively large VOL
ume. The company's main source
of income Is from oil and gas
leases on extensive land holdings
in Texas.
Two oil stocks which have been
raising NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
and Barnsdall-each lost more
than a point at one time.
Others marked down included
United States Steel. Bethleham
Steel. Chrysler, United Aircraft
Schenley, American Telephone.
United Gas Corp. Kennecott Cop
per. Allied Chemical, Dow Chemi-
cal. General Electric. International
Paper, Santa >Fe. Southern Pacific,
Sinclair Oil. and Warner Bros.
Tending upward were Republic
Steel. Studebaker, Sears Roe
buck, International Harvester
Zenith Radio, Eastman Kodak
Philip Morris. American Tobacco
Chesapeake & Ohio, Standard OF
New Jersey, and Texas Co.
Corporate bonds followed thu
same narrow route as stocks

Agreement Reported
On Revised Formula
For Italian Colonies
II the A,soeiatsd Rrsss

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 26.-The
Western powers were reported to-
day to have agreed in principle on
a new formula for disposing Of
Italy's preYar colonies.
Some details still have to be
worked out. diplomatic quarters
said, but the new plan will be laid
before the United Nations Assem-
bly, in September as a substitute
for the rejected Bevin-Sforza pro-
posal.
The Western powers are now
ready to propose independence
for Libya in three years instead
of 10, as agreed on by British For
|eign Secretary Bevin and Italian
Foreign Minister Count Carlo
Sforza last spring.
Discussions Continue.
There still is no agreement As
to how the various parts of Lybya
Tripilitania and the
Fezzan-would be administered
between now and the time the ter
ritory becomes independent. The
powers are continuing their dis
cussions on this through diplo-
matte channels.
The Unite States, Britain.
France and Italy are the chief
participants in the negotiations.
There was understood to be
general agreement that the idea
of an Italian trusteeship over
Tripolitania will be dropped COM
pletely. Under the Bevin-Sforza
plan, Italy was to have admins
tered Tripolitania for a period OF
eight years beginning in 1851.
The defeat Of his provision by
the Assembly last spring led the
Latin American delegates to with
draw their support Of the remain
ing parts of the Assembly resolu-
ton and forced postponement OF
a settlement until the Assembly Z
fall session.
New Plan Outlined.
Diplomatic quarters expressed
confidence the revised formula
would get the support of both
Latin American and Middle East
ern nations. Such support would
virtually assure 1t the necessary
two-thirds majority.
The new plan would keep the
following provisions Of the Bevin-
Sforza agreement:
l. Italian Somaliland would be
placed under q. N. trusteeship
with Italy as the administering
power.
2. Western Eritrea would be
ceded to the Anglo-Egyptian Su.
dan.
8. Eastern Eritrea would be in.
