Downward With Liberal
Sales.

KEW YORK, May t9.-The movement
OF prices was again mainly downward
at the opening Of todays stock market.

feted one to two points Dealings were
very light, pointing to another dull ses-
sion In the bond market, however.
there were early indications of further
extensive liquidation Of Liberty issues.
A block Of $3.50, 900 of the fourth 4As

ond 4As sold at 81 40, representing new
low quotations in both cases

ues, all leaders making further losses
Steady offerings of Liberty bonds at
lower prices and an advance of dis
counts by the local federal reserve
