which resulted on Saturday in a de-

Foreign money centers were dis

feeling was reflected in some heavy
heavy selling of stocks for foreign ac-
count, which added to the burdens OF
the New York market. The range of
prices on opening sales showed very
uneven declines, some Of the most rep-
resentative stocks making a show OF
