Western Earnings Report Shows Decreases

The dizziness which had been in evi-
dence during the first half Of the week
on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange
was even more pronounced today and
with few exceptions price changes were
small and unlnteresting,
Declines of points for American

were the widest movements in quota-
tiOns, but both these changes were on
small transactions and did not attract
much attention in the financial district.
And the few traders in brokers board
rooms found little to discuss while walt
ing for something 20 occur TO bring the
market back to life.
Rapid Transit trust certificates did
little 50 far as activity went. but sold
off a gnod-sizcd fraction to 25ai with
out any apparent reason for the decline.
