some hope of a resumption of activity
by pools, but the market made little
response. st. Louis and San Francisco
relapsed sharply with denials of yes
terday's deal rumors. The Ian
guild demand for stocks made
an advance seem so hopeless
that the traders turned to
the short side of the market. and
prices fell sharply below last night in
the active selling movement of the last
hour. The decline was accompanied by
rumors of unfavOrable Venezuelan
news received at Washington.

both from the interior and on sub
treasury operations promised rise in
reserves of nearly 81, O0OO There may
be large loans to figure in that item
of the banks There was a report of
a $35, 600 900 loan having been negotiated
by the Pennsylvania company current
