Representative Zihlman Is chair

easily account for the reactlonary con.
dition of today's stock market. Ex.
rept for brief period of firmncss at the
opening the entire list disclosed a great
deal Of softness, plainly showing the
effects of the weight of the large volume
Of long stock which was thrown on the
market last week under cover of the
spectacular upbidding of the high priced
industrial specialties.
In the week end Developments there
was virtually nothing of a disturbing
character either from domestic or
foreign viewpoint. As matter OF fact.
most Of the home news was clearly open
to constructive Interpretation. The
general character of the reactionary
movement was alone sufficient proof of
the preponderant influence of technical
conditions. In truth, for some few
days it had been quite apparent a cer-

AMERICAN Stores
LOCAL SOFT SPOT
Efforts to Realize on Paper
Profits Caused Prices
to crumbls

The weakness Of American Stores
came IN for more attention than any
other happening In today's local mar
ket. The apparent withdrawal Of or.
ganized support which had accompanied
the advance movement In the stock for
over a year naturally caused a great
deal Of comment. Offerings Of the stock
were not large, but the buying demand
was found to be surprisingly limited.
This resulted In a sharp decline OF .
points. carrying the quotation down to
price reached little over q week ago.
In the general list speculative activity
was noticeably subdued, which was to
be expected in view Of the reactionary
turn Of the big market. The back
set on the big board naturally In.
fuenced q general desire to cash in
some Of the paper profits, and as is
often the experience. too many reached
the same state Of mind simultaneously.
Price movements were irregular, with
the majority showing declines. A larger
percentage were confined to nominal
fractions, but some of the recent &c.
tive favorites yielded point or more.
American Railways preferred sur

tery had a similar decline; General As
phalt was off G points from the prcvi.
ous sale on the local board. Eisenlohr
also dropped back a point. U. G. l.

point gain. The movement was color
less because Of the limited transactions.

display the same consistent strength

ing continued steady accumulation

action in most oil the other rails
