The failure of the market to respond to the declaration of an extra cash dividend of $4 by General Motors corporation was a disappointment to those working for higher prices, and led to a ewal of selling pressure against the motor shares. General Motors opened a point higher at 126% and then fell back over two points on the liquidation of stock apparently bought on the expec- tations of a sharp rally.
