NEW YORK, April 'S.-Ths most
noteworthy incident in the dealings
on the curb market today WAS the
heavy selling OF Glen Alden Coal
stock. After breaking four points
at the outset. the decline was ex-
tended another three points before
support was encountered. The recent
rise in this stock naturally calls for
good deal OF profit taking, and when
these offerings came upon the mark ct
today they found bids lacking. La
ter however, a good part of the loss
was retraced.
The manner in which utilities were
taken around the prevailing high
prices also was significant. While
the other parts of the list were sub
jected to more or less selling pres
sure, most OF these shares held firm,
but little or no further upturn oc-
curing. The Adirondack Light and
Power Corporation announced that
negotiations had been complet ted in
