No large amount of business was done
In these issues as holders were not

Nth one or two pieces of bad news,

il soutside business had occurred over

silt of an unhealthy technical mar

ton.
Turn in Afternoon.
Liquidation of long stock was ac-
companied by considerable further
short selling, particularly in those di-
rections which had attracted the
greatest speculative following when
the upward rush was at his height.
noon and in certain instances efforts
to bid up stocks met with some sue
cess.
Wall Street had been attributing
General Electric's recent advance to
almost the 800 level to the prospect
of early favorable dividend action.
A split-up of five for one was men,
tioned before the announcement came
today that at their meeting in Bos-
hn Vi n -
transacted only routine business. The
stock broke several points. Like
wise, the declaration of A 50 extra
son American can common, but with
Dothing done about a capital split
up. was unfavorably received. Amer
lean Can dropped 10 points under its
recent top.
Has Depressing Influence.
The passing of the Pittsburgh Coal
common dividend and the report of
the Pennsylvania Coal and Coke Co..
which reported deficit for November
and the first II months, against
surplus for November and the first
u months of 1928, had a depressin 2
influence. Pittsburgh Coal common
fell back sharply. This also gave the
street another excuse for offering
down the shares of some OF the coal
carrying railroads. such as Readin g
and s. & Q.
The stocks which gave the best ac-
count of themselves included the
railway equipments. Pullman and
American Locomotive were especially
well supported. while Baldwin Loco
motive was irregular. These were
among the last to participate in the
recent bull market, and the reports
of the business they represent con-
tinue very satisfactory. Copper and
smelling issues also withstood the
selling pressure relatively well.
Higher metal prices were responsible
for this. Fiske Rubber was actively
sold for a time, while Pierce Arrow
among the motors was strong. The
Pan Americans were again sold.
