There were small recoveries from initial
concessions, Chicago, Burlington and GUM

was sold off a point on reports from Wash

schedule would be defeated
Chicago Gas rose =, but soon lost the
gain American Tobacco sagged on small
sales Short interest was hot in evidence
and traders played for reaction.
The stock market during the morning
continued very dull and irregular Union
Pacific has been the strong feature. The
buving eff this stock seems 10 Ire principally y
for foreign account, and there is talk of a
small pool having been formed.
Jersey Central was offered down on a
report that the stock has been largely COW

much easier. and that a block Of stock was
returned yesterday Sugar was heavy
throughout and there is little evidence
Of this stock receiving support. There was
