NEW YORK. March 10.-The most
important movements in the past
week were to lower levels. rejecting
u continuation of profit-taking in
some stocks and liquidation in
others that came at a time when
demand was scant and few buying
orders in brokers hands at near pre-
viously prevailing prices.
The declines. which were most ex-
tensive in the motor stocks, ranged
from to over 20 points, the heaviest
losses Being in issues depending on
single operators or small groups for
market activities. Peerless Motor
was one of the weak features, fall
ing points to 671a. and after a
good rally was again under pressure.
Coal stocks showed strength at
times. Household Products was ac-
tiyely traded in due largely to ap-
pllcation for listing on the stock ex-
change, but it also yielded from it's
highest price.

Economic Conditions,

In general survey of economic
conditions the monthly statement Of
the National city Bank of New York
says in part
There has been no slackening of
industry or trade as the winter has
passed. but rather increasing strength
ana confidence. Railroad traffic has
been the heaviest ever experienced
tor the season. Unemployment prac-
llcaliy has disappeared from the prin-
Gipdl industries. and in its place labor
shortage Is Reported. In many lines
the activity is greatel than at anv
time SINCE l9"D and in numerous
cases close to capacity. This is true of
the textiles. iron and steel and auto
mobiles The number of cotton spin
nies IN use in January for the first

sumption Of cotton totaled el0375
bales. which has been exceeded only
