NEW YORK. September ia break

price down to S5E new low record At
S5i: the stock showed a loss Of points
since the close of last week. 1t was 49,
points under the high price of the year,
reached January 10. The depreciation in
market value represented by this de-
cline is nearly $40 100000
The stock rallied a point after touch
ing S5Is. and no more offerings were
pressed for sale.
The long decline in the shares, extend
ing back more than a year, grew out
of the various difficulties, financial and
otherwise, of the New Haven system and
the reduction in the dividend from to
q per cent. The intimation given re-
Gently by Howard Elliott, newly elected
head Of the system. that further reduc-
ton might be deemed advisable, Is be-
lieved to have been factor in the re-
newed decline.
