-Todays short but lively session of the

heavy selling for both accounts. Shorts
continued to press on steels and equip
ments. Extreme losses in these as featured
by Mexican Petroleum, Standard Oil of
New. Jersey, General Asphalt, Crucible
Steel, Baldwin Locomotive and American
Car ran from one to three points The
market rallied briskly in the last hour on
buying of Pacific rails, Popular Shippings
and Tobaccos. Losses were largely recov-
cred with here and there some substantial
gains. The closing was firm. Sales ap-
proximated $4,000 shares.
Initial prices on the stock exchange to-
day were only fractonally lower but within
the first half hour the pace quickened and
the tone became more reactionary. Mexican
Petroleum, the feature of yesterdays gem
eral reversal, soon lost PA points and Cruel
Bile Steel, Sears Roebuck and Sumatra To-
bacco featured the other backward issues
Most leaders in the steel, oil, equipment
groups registered new quotations for the
