NEW YORK. May Ito the dis

dence of inside selling or liquidation
was forthcoming In the course Of to-
days stock market. The tone was
heavy when not distinctly weak and
pressure was more or less pronounced
throughout the session. All the lead
ing shares, such as Reading. Lehigh

tended lower. with losses of one to
two points by midday. on the other
hand there were gains of as much

stocks, including International Har.

among which may be mentioned Am

Improvement. American Can at SO
rs went to its lowest price in over
a fortnight but even to-day's final
quotation represented a handsome
gain over its figure of a month back.
Canadian Pacific 27O attained a
new high record with a similar
achievement for Sears-Rcebuck.
IL was not until the late afternoon
that the market suddenly turned from
heaviness to acute weakness. Prac.
ticaliy every issue on which the list
has built its rise OF the last two
months, then declined precipitately,
with the supply far in excess of the
demand. The decline was materially
assisted by the operations OF the
short interest. Reading. I.ehigh Val.
ley. Union Pacific, American Can
and U. s. Steel all felt the force OF
the impact while most OF the early
gains in the low priced issues speed

for the better. Reading recovering
