NEW HAVEN STOCK
 DROPS STILL LOWER Roads Shares Sell for foTiy-dne
 and fivt-;Igh.hs.

New York July 16.-Wall Street. 10:45 a. m.-Signs of further liquida- ton were manifested by today's stock market in the early dealings. New Haven was the factor that made for increased apprehension, selling at 49 5-8, a fraction under its low rec ord of yesterday and a decline of l 5-S from the close. Baltimore and Ohio issues which became weak yes- terday on the Union Pacific extra dividend" decision, registered lower prices and New York Central came within a fraction of it's lowest price in score of years. Canadian Pacific which rose smartly at the outset on assurances that no immediate financ- ing is contemplated. soon lost much of its gain. Partial recoveries followed the first decline.
 Further recovery in New Haven, which advanced almost three points from it's low, with concurrent weak uess in some of the allied bonds, and Humorous offerings of Baltimore and Ohio preferred for future delivery at 75, were among the features of the later trading.
 Closing today's mar ket pursued an irregular course, the tendency among the leaders was toward betterment. Baltimore aand Ohio issues were weak, however, with more low records. mainly in minor issues. The closing was firm.
 The following quotations are fur nished by G. Edward Graf, stock broker, National Bank building. F. N. Gilfillan, local manager:
