We have measured the change in the charge-density-wave (CDW) transitions in monoclinic Nb${\mathrm{Se}}_{3}$ and orthorhombic Ta${\mathrm{S}}_{3}$ caused by stress applied along the high-symmetry (growth) axis. For the upper transition in Nb${\mathrm{Se}}_{3}$, $\frac{d{T}_{1}}{d\ensuremath{\sigma}}=\ensuremath{-}4.4$ K/GPa for stresses up to 5 GPa, the increase in the resistance due to the transition, $\ensuremath{\Delta}R$, is almost unaffected, and the critical field for motion of the CDW, ${E}_{c}$, increases with stress. For the lower transition in Nb${\mathrm{Se}}_{3}$, $\frac{d{T}_{2}}{d\ensuremath{\sigma}}=\ensuremath{-}0.4$ K/GPa, $\ensuremath{\Delta}R$ more than doubles at 5 GPa, and ${E}_{c}$ is relatively unaffected. The 222-K transition in Ta${\mathrm{S}}_{3}$ decreases at a rate of -15 K/GPa for low stresses. At stresses above 2.5 GPa the resistance of Ta${\mathrm{S}}_{3}$ begins to increase again, possibly due to a second stress-induced CDW transition. Both thermal hysteresis and stress hysteresis are seen in Ta${\mathrm{S}}_{3}$ between about 100 and 200 K.
