This stock sold over seven points lower than yesterdays best price The con traction in the years earnings disclos- ed in the annual report was supple mented as an influence by the small holdings in the name of the present management which appeared at the meeting yesterday As no action was taken at that meeting towards placing on the board representatives of the Standard oil interests another hoped for source of strength was withdrawn from the stock Intimatlons found credence that the recent furry In the stock to high price attitudes had been made the occasion for large reduction of these holdings and of those of in- side interests, rather than for an in- crease, The prominent place given 10 American Smetng in the widely ad- vertised Lawson campaign made it's example influential in raising fears of similar conditions to be met in other stocks. The metal and industrial group were most closely affected in sympathy and their weakness was aggravated by rumors of pressure to place copper metal by some of the larger producers at concessions. These large producers make a mystery of their selling prices so far as general public knowledge Is concerned, and no reports of quotations l from their selling agencies is obtain able.
