DOWNWARD
TREND
Many Traders Unwilling to
Garry Stocks Over the
Election Period

NEW YORK. Oct. 27.-Specula.
i've stocks were supplied freely to
the market in the early trading to-
DAY. The downward trend Of prices
was in distinct contrast to the
strong market which prevailed in
Ine last three days of last week.
with Few exceptions the rails were
1lfong, although Frisco common
ana q few other stocks which re-
corded good gains last week were
unable to hold their ground and de-
cuned point or more.
Selling OF stocks today repre-.
scented partly liquidation for traders
VINO were unwilling to carry their
stocks over the election period re-
gardless OF the result Of the ma.
tional election and partly the activi-
ties of the bears, who had the
double incentive of the approaching
election and the weak technical po.
sttion Of the market following the
steady rise in prices Of the last ten
days.
The heavy offerings Of oil stocks
ct the opening of the market were
we'll absorbed, though prices Of ac-
tive independent oils slid downward
tractionally from Saturdays closing
levels. There were no special de-
velopmentS in the oil industry to in.
vtte weakness in the stocks and
money rates were easy, call renewals
being posted at per cent.
Market leaders in the industrial
list received the brunt Of profess
gtonal selling and were irregular
from the start. American Can de
clined to 1873 for a loss Of nearly a
points from Saturdays high; Gem
eral Electric lost 2 and Baldwin was
fractionally lower. American Wool
en-, Colorado Fuel, Stewart. Warner,
American Ice, Woolworth and a
number Of the speciality stocks, in.
Guiding Congoleurn, sold down from
] to points on heavy offerings,
but others, like United States Dis
tributing Corporation, moved against
the trend Of the market and sold
0lightly higher. The strength of
United States Steel was due to
rumors that the directors at their
meeting tomorrow would declare the
regular dividend and an extra of
30 cents on the common stock.
Bethlehem was Irregular. Sugar
stocks steady. Rails firm.
Outside markets were strong.
Wheat and corn moved up from IA
70 Sh cents a bushel and cotton
was UP about 40 points.
