NEW YORK, October ga rapid de-
cline in Union Pacific made it the con-
spicuous stock OF the opening today.
The opening sale was a block of 900
shares at 1861. to 156. On subsequent
transactions it broke to 1854, loss of
points.
First sales OF other active stocks show
cd few important variations from yes

Stocks came out in free supply when II
was demonstrated that no support was
forthcoming for Union Pacific. That
stock went down to 1914 and carried Oh
other leaders l to points with It,
Nervous and Unsettled.
The severe break in Union Pacific was
all that was needed to bring about re-
newaI of heavy selling. and the market
was nervous and unsettled throughout
the morning.
There was no obvious cause for the
pronounced weakness of Union racine,
and selling was generally attributed 10
the relief that delay was propaple In
distribution of the extra cash 1iViueho
which many traders nad preuicteu.
Other considerations operated against
the market and increased the effect or
the break in this leader
The Steel group further reflected price
reductions and tariff influences, and U.
= Steel broke through %, which was
more than 10 points under its top inquire
of a fortnight ago.

Union Pacific sold 3% under yester-
DAYS close, Steel and Reading about z

Bonds were easy.
Stocks were spilled out at intervals
through the afternoon, although there
was nothing approaching the earlier
show of heaviness.
Telephone and telegraph shares went
into new low ground, and some OF the
coalers and low-priced specialties gave
evidence of fresh weakness.
The more active issues showed more
stability. with prices averaging ABOUT
half a point above the lowest.
Liquidation and bear pressure were sus-
pended for while and the list made
trif1ing recovery.
Monetary conditions received greater at
tention owing to the loss of S5,OOO,OOO by
the banks. which compelled some shifting
of loans and resultant enforced liqufda-
ton. Rates for call and time loans and
commercial paper were maintained at the
current high levels.
