Stocks again turned after opening
slightly higher. Another outburst
OF selling in Pacific oil proved dis
concerning because OF expectation In
speculative circles that a continu-
anee OF the regular dividend would
prove a sustaining development for
the general market.
Professional pressure on Pacific
oil therefore was probably based on
the theory that weakness in this
stock would be effective in unsettling
tho remainder OF tho market. Sell
