IN today's stock market Ample reason

these were the deadlock in the

fresh outburst Of selling moro extensive
and more severe than the succeeding
selling waves. 1t was genuine liquiGa

of course were weaker than others. but
everything on tho list was affected.
There was no let up in the constant

and then the general list was down

take advantage Of the markets vuner-

While there was unqucstionably n

Financial District Shrouded in

Evening Suns closing financial review
today says:
The stock market again Slumped very
badly today and many of the prices
recorded meant that months of bull
done in the more or less persistent de-
cline which has been in progress during
the last fortnight or so. New lows on
the downward movement were made by
a wide range of industrial and rail
road stocks which looked extremely
cheap AS measured by recent levels.
Nevertheless. the financial district
was shrOuded in such heavy cloud of
gloom that it was predicting still fur
ther liquidation and a contraction in
prices as excessive as was the initiation
OF month ago. unless some decidedly
favorable news developed in the near
future.

market worked gradually down without

selling casPd off somewhat While
extensive, the downward movement was
orderly. with net losses running from
: to u points on an average during
the height of. the decline In few
extreme cases much larger losses were
scored.
The immediate cause of the market $
fresh weakness was to be found in a
combination of real news, rumor and
apprehension engendcrcd by the latest
twist of the Mexican situation. the re
lection of the governments offer by the
bituminous coal miners, reports that
Europe's financial structure is totter-
ing, rumors of further action by bank
ing authorities toward curbing specu-
Iatiou and the unsolved railroad prob
lem.

While there had been great deal Of
an early distribution to the junior
shareholders, it was not believed in bet
ter informed quarters any action would
be taken by the directors until next

The 3h per cent dividend announce

first distribution received by the com
mon stockholders since 1915. For three
years the common received per cent
but the year following the outbreak of
the war dividends were suspended on
the common stock.
The per cent dividend on the pre-
ferred was sustained. As the distri-'

of further distribution in doubt. Since
