MARKET REACTS
AFTER EARLY RISE
Heavy Selling Forces Down Leading Issues; Firmer
Tendency Shown at Closing Hour
By Associated Press

New York, Sept. S.-(Wall STREET.
Heavy selling of General Electric,
Bethlehem Steel and Pullman with
further liquidation in New York
Central and American Telephone
caused a sharp reaction in the stock
markets later dealings to-day after
an initial rise.
General Electric was off 81 Beth
lehem Steel 4; Telephone and
other issues lost from 1a to a point.
The selling of General Electric and
Pullman came at time when the
market was showing an advancing
tendency and the lack of eXplana-
tion for this liquidation offset all
other considerations, so that the
bears had matters their own way
when once more they attacked
prices.
In the final dealings supporting
orders were distributed and the
market rebounded strongly all
around. The close was firm. Liberty
