stocks to standstill. The dulnegs that fol-
lowed invited operations by the bears They

day, though there were one or two sharp ral-
lies on covering of shorts They effected an
extreme decline of over FIVE points in this
stock and worked O reaction In the whole
list, earlier advances being entirely wiped
out with few exceptions. The decline did
not bring any heavy offerings and was
effected on light transactions for most stocks
