Presidents message yesterday to Con gress. Traders seemed little disposed to allow the market to take care or itself.
 At the end of the first 80 minutes of trading prices were 6 points under yes terday.
 The decline widened 6 to points on the trading months by the middle or the morning but these were the lowest levels reached as bulls offered deter mined support. This checked the down ward tendency and finally replaced the decline by a small net advance. The list was very quiet and moderate amount of buying served to steady 1t after the early trade Afterward there was small selling power At midday the most active months were to points over yesterday
 In the afternoon session longs liqui- dated freely and the list could not ab- sorb the offerings. At 2 o'clock prices were to points under yesterdays close.
