PRICES ARE ON
DOWNWARD MOVE
Recessions Are Moderate but
Selling Assures Wider
Proportions
By Associated Press
New Tork, Aug. 2S—(Wall Street)
—Prices tended downward again at
the opening of to-day's stock mar
ket. Recessions were moderate, but
the selling movement assumed
wider proportions. Shares of com
panies likely to come within the
scope of the government's price reg
ulation policy were most affected.
Steels, coppers and various equip
ments yield large fractions to over a
point. V. S. Steel was again under
special pressure, lostng 1H points.
Rails reacted quite generally. Read
ing losing two points and Canadian
Pacific a point.
Losses became more severe on the
exchange dealings of the morning,
sales of the first hour approximating
350.000 shares. Many active issues
registered lowest prices of recent
months and some approached mini
mum quotations of the early week
of the year.
U. S. Steel declined to 118 Vi rep
resented the low record for two
months. Numerous accounts were
closed out, pressure being augmented
by offerings of commission houses.
Libertv Bonds were firm at 99.92 to
99.96.

G. A. R. Heroes Ready
to Bear Arms Again
Boston, Aug. 23. —Wlilliam J>.
Patterson, of Pittsburgh, comman
der-in-chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic, speaking yesterday
at the opening session of the na
tional encampment, aroused the
greatest enthusiasm by declaring that
America had drawn the sword In
favor of the oppressed people of
Europe, who had appealed for help.
The convention hall rang with
wartime shouts as veterans rose to
their feet, waved battle-torn flags
and cheered wildly every reference
to the unselfish motive which had
prompted the United States to enter
the struggle for the freedom of the
world and without hope or thought
of reward.

the use of 6,238 cars in the handling
of less than carload freight in July,

year. At the same time the company
