War Handicaps
Stock Activity
Leading " Issues Shift
Listlessly .' Over 1
4 Small Area
i NEW' YORK. July. 12-tfV-Doi
Snestlc political and European war
imponderables continued as epec
u la tire handicaps In today's stock
market and leading issues shift
ed listlessly OTer a . restricted
area.
- . Scattered stocks managed . to
emerge with negligible adrances
but these were overbalanced by
declines of fractions. ' .
The Associated Press ayerage
of SO Issues was off .1 of a point
at 41-1. . In the four preceding
sessions the composite had re
mained at .41.2. Transfers of
255,990 shares were the second
smallest for the week to date and
compared with r 328,330 yester
day.. Of 574 IndiTidual stocks
changtng hands, -201 were down,
186 up and 187 unchanged..
As in the past several days,
blame for today' lackadaisical
proceedings was laid mainly on
the inclination of speculative con
tingents to keep decks reasonably
clear pending next week's demo
cratic convention outcome and
clarification of the foreign pic
ture which Indicated toome an
Imminent Hittler smash at Eng
land and a possible enforced
peace.
Pullman was one ot the tew
losers 'of more than a point,
seemingly reflecting the action of
the' Justice department In filing
eiTil proceedings against this
company to divorce manufacture
from operation of sleeping cars.
- Unchanged to lower were US
Steel, General Motors, Chrysler,
Douglas Aircraft, General Elec
tric, Anaconda. Consolidated Edi
son, Santa Fe, Sears Roebuck and
Eastman Kodak.
Advances were held by Bethle
hem Steel, United Aircraft, Ame
rican Telephone, Great Northern,
Texas Corp., Westinghouse and
Woolworth.

Wool Market Is
ant
BOS T O N July lt.-VP)-Th
Commercial Bulletin will say to
morrow: ' "The wool market has been well
nigh - stagnant - this week. Sales
have been few and far between
and usually for off sorts or spe
cialties, the sale of which did not
typify the market but which evi
dently Indicated . a softer price
basis, especially for the finer
wools. -- .: .
- "Medium wools keep reasonably
firm, although it is not easy to
get 40 cents delivered for medium
Ohio-Michigan or Missouri, country-packed.'
A bid of 38 cents,
however, was rejected. Some fine
and half-blood average wools have
been taken in Montana this week
in the range of 75-80 cents, clean
basis, at Boston, and some choice
staple new Mexican at 80-82 cents,,
clean basis. - -
"Civilian goods trade is still
disappointing and the mills with
government orders appear to be
well covered against current re
quirements. "Offerings of South American
wools - are less pronounced, al
though a fair weight ot various
off types of wool have been
bought for - import at relatively
low - prices which usually go to
European consumers. -
"Mohair la a bit soft, too. Sales
in Texas of 50,000 pounds are re
ported at 50 and 60 cents, respec
tively, for adult and kid and a
like quantity at 2 cents less for
each description."
