when they reached the side of the de.
stroyer. AS the submarine sank, five
or six of the men were caught by the
aerial radio, and sarried below the
surface before they disentangled them
selves. Ten of the men were SO
weak that they had to be hauled
aboard. One man was in bad condi-

thrown to him, and chief pharmacist

Short Selling Is Noticed- Cana
 dian Pacific Being Weak

Wall uStreet-Stocks suffered fur ther impairment at the active opening of today's market, leaders recording additional recessions of to almost 8 points. The movement bore the fa- m1liar marks of liquidation,/ with a sprlnkling of short selling. Invest ment rails reflected their recent pres- sure, notably the Pacifics, Canadian being the weakest of that group. Equipments, including U. S. Steel. were increasingly heavy, with ship pings coppers, oils and motors. New York Air Brake featured the special ties, losing 5 points.
 Temporary suspension of business on the Montreal stock exchange added to the unsettlement and appre- hension of the morning session. Canadian Pacific made an extreme de- cline of six points to 132 5-S it's lowest quotation in a number of years, and other rails extended their early losses. U. s. Steel dropped to 1O1 3-4 after rally ing to 103 IA and other indus trials including war shares sagged 2 to 4 points specialties showing greater losses. The decline was checked before noon, prices rebound ing from substantia fractions to 1 1-2 points, Liberty As sold at par to 100.02 and the 1-2's at 99.94 to 99.96.
 x Firmer tendencies prevailed during the dull intermediate session. Canadian Pacific recovered to 134 1-2 and other rails rose an average of a point. Shippings and metals held relatively strong, but industrials were less responsive to support
