on the Street yesterday concerning the
identity OF the recent heavy sellers OF
General Motors stock. On Monday,
about six houses threw 80 900 shares in

hardly be assumed that this selling was
for the short account, as there Is iitt!s
leewnr IN which 90 conduct benrish
operations IN General Motors, now
selling only little above S11 n share.
II was suggested, yesterday. that u
might be q step in market strategy for
influence on the stocks OF other motor
companies. although the weakest spo,
for some in the motor LIST has been

which seems most depressed. In many
directions there has hcen some i'm
provemcnt Agricultural operations are
we'll advanced although some replantins
of corn has been necessary. The
weather is ideal for growing crops.
while there is no occasion for ex-
pecting extreme activity of any record

cause for pessimism over Western bust

be felt as to an ample supply Of credit
