PONT IN STOCKS = =:

Domestic Trade Items oo Favorable; Dealings

Are Slow.

"NEW -YORK, Aug. 9 (U. P). — Stocks dropped fractions to more than a point to new lows for the|B current reaction in slow dealings today. Sentiment was depressed by uneasiness over the European situation.

News otherwise leaned toward the hp

constructive side. The stock list opened mixed in

quiet trade, met no buying interest é

and then slipped off until around mid-day when a steadier trend developed. In the early afternoon

dealings prices generally were mod-|S

erate fractions above the lows.

U. S. Steel was quoted at 49%, off |¢

5%, against-an early high of 50%. Bethlehem extended a small early fractional loss to 13% points, touching 59 before meeting support. Chrysler lost a point ‘to 79% and General Motors was down 3% to 475.

Goodrich held about half of an early |D

gain of 1 point, but other rubber shares had around a, point in U. S. Rubber. Du Pont sold off 2 points to 159, among higher-priced issues. Rails and utilities had small fractional losses in dull trade.

Times Special NEW .YORK, Aug. 9. —Expectation that sales in department and specialty stores during the fall months would show a rise of 6 to 8 per cent on a nation-wide basis over last year, was indicated today in a poll taken by the National Retail Dry Goods Association among a representative group of merchants

Pointing to a generally favorable

-|attitude on the part of retailers

as to their imminent “big season,” some 86 per cent of the merchants questioned in the poll predicted an advance In sales of some degree during the months of September, October and November. Although estimates of sales gains in individual communities ranged as high as 10 to 15 per cent in a few cases, the average merchant appeared to anticipate substantial but not sensational rises.

nMOS Traders Cautious as They Await U. S. Crop Forecast Tomorrow.

CHICAGO, Aug. 9 (UP)—Wheat| . prices moved within a narrow e at slightly lower levels on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Trading was light. At the tlose wheat was off % to 3 cent, September 63%. Corn was unchanged to off % cent, September 42%, and oats were unchanged

4 to % cent higher, September 27%.

Selling of wheat futures at the opening was based on a weak Liverpol market and on favorable crop weather in the Canadian spring wheat belt. Prices lost about %

‘1,|cent in the first hour, and other

North American markets were down an equal amount.

Expectations of a bullish Can-

.:., |adian Government crop report led

to a fair rally at Winnipeg which in turn stimulated some short covering here, and the local market showed a steady undertone in later

Fd trading. Fractional gains were set

up in the Canadian market. More beneficial rains in the corn belt ofset scattered local demand in

. [the corn pit, but prices held about

steady. Both wheat and corn traders were inclined to stay close to shore pending release of the U. 8S. Government crop estimates Thursday afternoon.

LOCAL BUSINESS

Employers, Asked to Check

Social Security Records Indianapolis employers today were asked by Peter J. Van Geyt, manager of the local Secial Security Board office, to assist in correcting inaccuracies in old-age insurance records. ! “Until inaccurate employee wage items are finally posted to the proper individual accounts, administration is made more costly and complicated by the necessity of referring to many special files and in91 dexes,” he said. He listed four causes for inaceurate filing: 1—Failure of employees to report account numbers to em‘ployers. 2—Inaccurate recording of numbers in books of employers. 3-— Failure of the employee to see that his name appears in the employer's records exactly as it appears on his social security number card. 4— Illegible recording of the worker's name by the employer. Mr. Van Geyt said his office now is in the process of clearing up wage record inaccuracies in 11 counties, the area covered by the Indianapolis field office of the Social Security Board.
