speculative leaders were pounded
down from two to six points be-
low the high points reached In

Beyond the complicated reports
from Genoa, from which little
has been expected in the way of

there was nothing to account for
a sudden change in market senti-
ment.
During the last six weeks the
market has been moving steadily

vance, in the process Of which
there has been q temptation to
pyramid profits and to add to

Such a reaction has been prom
ised by certain elements In the

Whether or not today's reaction
