 Cross recessions in prominent stocks extended from three to almost 15 points, the chief clements of weak ness being represented by oils, motors steels, equipments, shippings, sugars and textiles. Even the seasoned rails paid their toll to the days gen eral reaction, losing one to five points. Sales 100000 shares, were in striking contrast to yesterdays turnover of 350,00O, the smallest in considerably more than a year.
 In the foreign exchange market the feature was the sharp advance of marks or German remittances, which rose on active dealings to slightly over 1-5 cents against the years low record of one cent.
