HEFFERNAN. NEW YORK, March 10.—The velume of business fell off again to- day on the Curh exchange and the majority of price changes were downward. Selling was not as per- sistent_as it had been early in the week, but ne diaposition was shown te come in on the buying side. Motor shares were pressed for sale more than others, following publica- tion of first-quarter earnings of Hud- aon Motor, which were taken as dis- appointing. Auburn Auto, which has heen one of the main points of strength in this quarter, changed hands at 58%, where it compared with the price of 64 only a few days ago.
