New York July 16.—Wall Street— 10:45 a. m.—Signs of further liquida- tion were manifested by today's stock market in the early dealings. New Haven was the factor that made for increased apprehension, selling at 49 5-8, a fraction under its low rec- ord of yesterday and a decline of 1 5-8 from the close. Baltimore and Ohio issues which became weak yes- terday on the Union Pacific “extra dividend” decision, registered lower prices and New York Central came within a fraction of its lowest price in a score of years. .Canadian Pacific which rose smartly at the outset on assurances that no immediate financ- ing is contemplated, soon lost much of its gain. Partial recoveries followed the first decline. Further recovery in New Haven, which advanced almost three points from its low, with concurrent weak- ss in some of the allled bonds, and umerous offerings of Baltimore and Ohio preferred for future delivery at 76, were among the features of the later trading.
