The market's reactionary trend be- came more pronounced as the ses- sion progressed, In many of the allroad shares early ‘losses were xtended to nearly a point. Otis lost most of thelr early gains. 1 same was true of the motors, Prac- tically all of the equipments and tire stocks went points for the di It seemed, however, that the bulk of the selling originated in profes wiona) sources and that the reaction was not due to anything more than technical market conditions. It is well known that during the recent substantial rise a large part of the hort interest has been forced to cover their contracts and that the market Inside position has become weakened Money renewed at 3% per cent. but was soon reduced fo 5 per cent. Sy 12 T0 1 The market turned actually weak during the noon heur and for the firet time it appeared that much of the gelling represented liquidation, The incentive Was uot apparent as shares, the weight on news, even exclusive of the disarmament proposals, was in fuvor of the constructive side of the market, However, steel stocks sold down to new lows and showed recessions ranging from ono to more than three points, The argument was used that disarmament will mean a substantial loss in business to steel companies although it should be a well known fact that most of the armament orders placed during peace time have not resulted in large profit to steel manufacturrs. Among specialties Industrial Alcohol sold down to a new low for the year, and pronounced weakness was displayed by the equipment shares. Coppers went down with the rest of the list. Olls and motors converted early gains of a point or more into losses of equal extent. Money was reduced to 41-2 per cent., but this failed to have a tendency to check the decline. ‘0 2. Weakness continued through the fourth hour, The market was un- able to display rallying power at any time, Business was at the rate of well beyond a million shares for a full five hour session. New lows for the day were registered in practically every department of the market. Steels were weakest, but there also was particularly heavy selling of equipments and oils. Mexican Petroleum declined about four points from the high of the morning. In ether speculative leaders losses ranged from two to more than four points ‘0 3. There wae no lifting of selling pres- sure during the final hour and clos- ing prices were at or very near the lowest of the day. United States Steel in final dealings showed a decline of more than two points and other steel satockss were of two to three pointss. Rails steadied somewhat, but copperss and miscellaneous industrials lacked support _and in many in- stances were offered at:sharp de clines from their last previous quo tation. Money dropped to 4 per cent. in the final half hour, The grain markets also were weak. ‘Wheat closed with a decline of 41-2 cents a bushel, Foreien exchange rates closed strong. Cotton was up about 25 points, Joseph Wurzbermer of No. 208 Joffer- son Street, Brooklyn, who was found gullty of the theft of a wallet contain- on the Brooklyn waterfront, was sen- tenced to-day by Jnstice Norman §. Dike, in Brooklyn Supreme Court, to ten years in Sing Sing. It was Wurs- erger's second offence.
