By VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK. Aug. 15.—Appar
ently inspired by a further lull in
European war worries and generally
heartening domestic industrial pros
pects, the stock market today
chalked off a few more yards on
the upward path.
Profit-taking barriers were en
countered on the resumption of yes
terday's advance, however, and
gains running to 2 points or so in
the forenoon were cut down in
many instances at the close. Deal
ings, lairiy lively at the start, slack
ened as traders cashed in here and
there. Transfers for the five hours
approximated 650.000 shares.
While the headlines held out re
newed hopes of a possible get-to
gether by the principal conflicting
powers in a move to avoid hostili
ties over Danzig and other problems,
the dispatches were sketchy at the
best and Wall Street was not en
tirely convinced a peaceable solution
would be found. The result, brokers
said, was that buying remained cl
the timid sort.
Steels, motors and an assortment
of specialties responded at the open
ing to signs in a number of indus
tries that economic betterment
would continue throughout the fall
and winter.
Rails never were able to get far
out in front and aircrafts were back
ward throughout. The latter, it was
suggested, may have been affected
by the idea that, if an overseas
peace agreement should be reached
there might be a drastic downward
revision in armamertts, including
warplanes.
Stocks favored the greater part ol H
the day were U. S Steel. Bethle

J. C. Penaey.
The majority of the oils did little
as the shut-down campaign in this
industry started today with the clos
ing of all Texas wells for 15 day?
and efforts to get other States in
line.
Rail and utility loans tilted for
ward in the bond deDartmpnt rv>m.
modities were mixed. Wheat at Chi
cago was unchanged to off % of a
cent a bushel and corn lost to 78.
Cotton, in late transactions, was up
15 to 35 cents a bale. Securities ir.
London and Amsterdam were higher.
Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Aug. 15.—After an
early display of strength, wheat
prices today reacted about a cent
from the session's highs—the best
quotations recorded here in almost
two weeks—and closed fractionally
lower than yesterday.
Interest in grains was small and ,
prices were affected by compara
tively minor transactions. While
traders were inclined to go slow on *
the selling side, believing that the
loan program is taking a large quan
tity of wheat off the open market,
there was little in the trade news to
inspire buying. Hedging sales con
tributed to the late weakness.
