that it would ship gold to Europe this week, but
the amount to be exported was not named. This
talk created quite bearish sentiment, and
a general decline ensued. Chicago gas broke to
54sz, decline of 25s per cent. Other weak
stocks were Manhattan, which fell Ala to l241a,
Gen Electric 11a to 441s, Rock Island "a to
