were perpleXed at the sudden outburst
of selling which depressed stocks to-
day, coming in the midst of a morn
ing session. which was proceeding in
the same dull, cOlorless way as on the
two preceding days.
Lack of definite information con-
corning Mexican affairs and reiteratiOn
of unfaVorable trade news depressed
sentiment and made the market sus-
ceptible to bear raids. The list was
not long under pressure. however, and
before noon part of the losses had been
recovered.
Bonds were steady.
Recovery from the early low prices
facilitated distribution again. This
was most evident in Reading and
Union Pacific, which returned to their
early levels.
The market closed heavy. Torpid
speculation prevailed until the end.
Dismal reports from the steel trade
and the official announcement of an
abrupt decline in copper prices did not
6ncrease the selling pressure on either
of the stocks affected.
