progress to a lower level. Opening prices
were generally above yesterdays final
sales, but weakness soon developed ON q
drive at the anthracite coolers and after
the end of the first hour the bears ex-

were in tobacco 2La; Manhattan 1N;

cent in Burlington, Hooking Valley and
Lackawanna. The closing was dull at
the lowest. The stock market for the
week displayed a steady decrease in the
