NEW YORK, Nov. 80. Declines
predominated in today's session of
decidedly mixed trading. Selling
was of variegated character and set
down to varying causes. There was
bear selling OF Replogle which pro-
duced a net loss for the day of

ing October showing of the rails:
The selling In Chile Copper was set
down partly to the forced unloading
of certain Boston holdings. One
theory had 1t that large part of
the offerings was in the nature of
establishing income tax losses.
There is much to sustain this view,
for IL the incentive had been Iiaui-
dation to obtain liquid funds II
should be kept in mind that a sale
of 10000 shares around today's ay-
erage low level would have brought
in only $4,000.
The transactions in Chile were
placed around 10000 shares, and
they made up nearly one fifth of the
total sales. The unsettled financial
position of South America was Civ
en- as another reason for the SELL
ing Of Chile, but II would hardly
seem thnt this would account for
the enormous dealings which. made
