In The early dealings II yesterday
stock market prices moved toward 4
lower level under the influence OF sales
for the account OF the professional eie-
rnent. which evidently was inclined tow
ard the bear side OF speculation on the
theory that President Taft's statement
thar the pledges Of the Republican party
would be enforced might induce heaNy
operations for lower quotations by cor
r,oration interests. People identified
Nth the largest industrial and railroad

and when il became known that buying
orders had been received from the leao-
ing CORPORATION interests in the Street

temporary and trifiing success. and III
The last few minutes Of the trading there
