By Associated rress

New York, August 14.--Profession- al operators today took advantages of the deadlock in the rail strike to launch two attacks on the stock market, one at the beginning and one sat the close, which resulted in re- sessions of l to points in the ac- tive issues.
 Active and strong buying support :, halted the first reaction but con- Btructive sentiment apparently was disappointed over the prolongatlon of the strike and the second attack $ caused many shares to yield and close at the lowest prices of the day. Losses of l to 2ss points were shown by Nils auri-Pacific, Rock Island, c. & O., St. Louis and San Francisco, St. Louis Southwestern, Lehigh Valley and others. Mexican Petro- lsum f1uctuated, closing at a net loss of 4M. Extensive selling of General Asphalt forced the common down points and the preferred points. Mexican Seaboard. Pan American Petroleum, Phillips Petroleum and Standard oil of New Jersey also were heavy at losses of approximately to roints.
 Independent steels were strong in the early tFaolnB Ou IepoibS ol III early cosummation of the two in dependent mergers but they sagged considerably in the general reaction at the close.
 Several high records were made in the upward movement around noon.
 Total sales were 575.000 shares.
 A new low record in the Canadian discount ra -s sharp break in French francs featured the dealings in foreign exchange. The Canadian premier'n was down to 3-32 of 1 per cent as compared with a high of 1914 per cent In December, 1920 and 3-16 of 1 per cent last Saturday. Failure of tho allied premiers to reach an agreement caused the re- action in francs, which fell 16 points to S.03c.
