Stock Market Drifts
Moderately Lower
In Quiet Session
a
By Victor Eubank
Atsociatad Prttt Financial Writor
NEW YORK, Sept. 30. — Stocks
generally continued to retreat in to
day’s market although little if any
urgent liquidation appeared.
Steels led an early decline with
activity slackening. While a few.
“thin” issues dipped as much as 6
points, most recessions ranged from
fractions to 3. Extreme setbacks
were trimmed here and there near
the fourth hour with the ticker tape
loafing.
Commission houses discerned fur
ther mild profit cashing on last
week's recovery. A certain amount
of selling, it was said, came from
those who were bearish over labor
disputes, foreign affairs, business
prospects and price controls.
Other customers were believed to
have stood aside to await a possible
secondary reaction. Bidding for fa
vorable yields of investment stocks
served to cushion the decline.
Johns-Manville and United States
Gypsum, down about 6 each at one
time, cut their losses. Lesser stum
bles were suffered by Bethlehem,
United States Steel, Youngstown
Sheet. Republic Steel, Chrysler, Gen
eral Motors, Southern Pacific, Great
Northern, Chesapeake & Ohio,
Southern Railway, American Smelt
ing. United States Rubber, Mont
gomery Ward, Woolworth, Interna
tional Harvester. Hiram Walker Al
lied Chemical, Eastman Kodak Du
Pont and Dow Chemical.
Bonds yielded ground.

change in the situation, probably
within the next six months, the
magazine Steel reported today.
"Demands for steel from manu
facturers is a shade lighter, and
there have been some cancellations
of tonnage placed for delivery next
year," the industry journal said.
“There are numerous factors which
probably have influenced this ac
tion, but. the primary one is uncer
tainty on the part of manufacturers
in regard to their future expansion
programs.
"The primary cause of the uncer
tainty," Steel added, “is the near
impossibility of completing any
plant expansion, due to shortages of
both materials and labor. Contin
ually rising costs also have entered
the picture, altering the market for
new products to a considerable ex
tent.”
The trade publication declared
that present output of the steel
mills, if sustained, will bring supply
and demand into balance early next
year in a number of products.

District Business Barometers
Business barometers in the National Capital in August remained
at very high levels, a survey indicated today.
August bank clearings were $64,108,683 ahead of the same 1945
month; telephone stations were at a new peak and calls were far ahead
of August, 1945.
The department store sales index set a new alltime August record
and electricity sales were ahead of July although under August a
year ago. Postal receipts alone were well below last year’s mark.
How the Capital’s business expansion has developed over a long
period is shown in the following comparisons;

Jewish Leaders Warned
To Decide on Conference
By th« Associated Press
LONDON, Sept. 30.—A British
government spokesman said today
that Jewish leaders had been told
to make a final decision on par
ticipating in the current conference
on Palestine’s future “if they were
to avoid their case going by default.”'
1 “There is no change in His Maj-'
esty's government's attitude as re-!
garding Jewish representation atj
the conference,” said an official!
statement from Lancaster House,;
where British and Arab League j
States’ representatives have been!
carrying on the talks. Neither the'
Jews nor the Arabs of Palestine have
participated.
A Jewish Agency spokesman dis
closed that informal talks between
British and Jewish leaders on the
prospects for Jewish participation
in the conference would begin to
morrow. Two representatives of
Palestine Jewry—Eliezer Kaplan,
treasurer of the Jerusalem Executive
of the Jewish Agency, and Rabbi
Isaac Fischmann, spokesman for or
thodox Jews—were expected to ar
rive from Jerusalem by air this
afternoon.
The decision to participate in this
informal discussion was made as a
result of talks between Colonial
Secretary George Hall and Dr.
Chaim Weizmann, chairman of the
Jewish Agency Executive.
