over their holdings today. The weakness was
most apparent in the industrials and special

last week on the presumption Of speculative
professionals that the presidents message
was to be bulish document and its publ
ksltion today brought profit taking from
those sources In the natural order OF events.

milling preferred sold at u. against ~. the

ence in the days weakness was the money
situation. The spasmodic character of the
selling and the extending dullness OF the

of loan contraction by the banks the sue
securities upon the market which found

slight signs of frmness in the early deal

railroad stocks. The trunk lines remained
comparatively firm throughout, but the slight
evlgnces of strength elsewhere gave way
to the general tide OF weakness Call money
