The stock market was pretty effec-

took place on the day when the White

fessional traders sold the market hcav-
lily at the opening but this decline was
short lived and prices made a consider
able rally from the lows reached on
this first selling movement. Brokers
said that there really was not a great
deal of public selling at the opening
and that the weakness Of the market was
due rather to a lack Of buying orders
than to any throwing over Of stocks on
"a large scale. Later In the day. after
the Presidents address to Congress had

matters were different and the public
entered the market as "A seller together

large sellers OF stocks, the news OF the
seriousness of the situation having be-
