Following a fractionally higher open

but il soon became apparent that the
public had not been brought IN by the

was in larger volume and was not so
readily absorbed. After the first hour
IN, inward movement was in specialties
instead of in the standard issues which
had led on Monday. The volume OF
business fell off and. outside of few
fsvorites. the close was not much above
the lowest. Traders on the long SIDE
found some encouragement IN the TACT
that the market became dull on the de-
cline and that few losses reached any
considerable extent.
AS on Monday, there were no lmme-
date outside developments to affect the
course Of prices. Stocks had been RS
ing, with a rather vigorous upturn the
dav before. and a setback on proht
taking was not unnatural in view OF
the professional nature of the dealings
Attempts were made through the latter
part of the session TO stimulate the
market through advances in favored
stocks. The automobile group, some oil

priced rails were moved higher in no
particularly convincing fashion

CURB MARKET
TRANSACTIONS
Early Strength and Activity Not
Maintained-Oils Dull-Min-
ing Group Steady.

Strength and activity that appeared
in yesterdays early curb dealings were
of short duration, prices at the end OF
the first hour giving way to profit
taking sales which checked the ad-
vance. Industrial specialties were in
most favor throughout the session, and
even here prices generally were lower
on the day. United Motors, when is
sued, Midvale Steel, Cuba Cane Sugar
and Atlantic, Gulf & West Indies pre-
ferred made declines ranging from a
point or so up to 2. A strong spot
was Chevrolet Motor. which estab-
lished another high record at 230, end
ing only a bit lower, up nearly 3 points
over Mondays final quotation.
Dulness again characterized trading
in the oils and prices generally dis
played fairly steady tone. Dealings
in a few of the mining stocks were on
an active scale, but price fluctuations
were narrow.
