Selected Stocks Move to Higher Levels on Fall Business Outlook
Possibility of Delay to Next
Session for Wage-Hour
Bill Also Contributes
to " Strength in Market
th week preceding; the general aver
age, however, was higher by one to
three percent," the eurvey said.
" Response to August promotions.
some of which featured merchandise
under replacement values, provided
the major contribution to the mod
erate Increase In retail distribution
this wee.
"Apparel with which to combat the
heat was In demand, while knit
goods, sportswear, and vacation ac
cessories continued to sell well.
"Most of the principal centers.
however, were well occupied with re
placement requests for current pro
motions and belated orders for mer
chandise for early September selling."
NEW YORK, Aug. 13. (AP)
Selected stocks swung into another
and faster recovery move today with
many market leaders pushing up
fractions to 3 or more points.
Steels, although getting a late
start, were well out' In front at the
finish. Aviations and specialties were
the early leaders. Rails and chemi
cals exhibited strength, along with
several farm implements.
The outlook for fall business was
still the prime motivator, brokers
said, in addition, sentiment was
buoyed by possibility the controver
sial wage-hour bill may go over the
next session of congress.
Continued confusion In the na
tional legislative program, however,
was thought to have restrained some
buying forces. The Slno-Japanese
war flare-up at Shanghai, with a
chance other nations may become
Involved, also was seen as a retarding
Influence.
There was some profit selling be
fore the close and oils, utilities and
coppers made headway slowly.
Volume picked up on the advance.
t r a n s f ers approximating 1,000,000
shares.

Lake, business agent, said.
He denied the lueilhood of a
strike.
Officials of the Seattle local said
yesterday negotiations with the com
pany probably would be resumed
next week in Washington, Oregon
and Idaho. No vote was taken in
Seattle, he said.
The Portland vote approved a
strike if wage Increases were not
granted within 15 days, and was
contingent upon action by the Seat
tle and Spokane locals.
