SELLING RESUMED
IN STOCK MARKET
Decline Due to Inside Causes.
Dealers Abandon the
Long Side.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 23.-The sell
ing movement was resumed in the
market today following brief period
in which prices were higher.
Again there was 10 outside en-
PLANTATION. The Federal reserve re-
discount rate, about which Wall
Street had been giving some thought,
was left unchanged. Money remained
at per cent. French francs were
slightly higher. French dollar bonds
We're off, but not enough to be con.
Sidered a factor in the situation. n
The decline in stocks was due en-
tirely to inside causes. The market
had been put up last week under
strength of few stocks like United
States Steel and General Motors.
This maneuver had failed to attract
an outside following. The profession
al element had worked on the as
sumption that the advance i'll the
leaders would spread to other quar-
ters and that there would be IA gen
eral upward movement like that of
last Autumn.
When these expectations were not
fulfilled the Wall street attitude
changed. Traders who had been oper-
ating on the long side switched
their position, threw over stocks
which they had been holding and
turned to the short side. This change
had been apparent on the previous
days and it was noticeable again to-
day.
United States Steel common had to
absorb every Offering around the 1879
level, while the display of strength

day had spent itself. Colorado Fuel
and Iron cropped below 45 before Of
feringS were completed. While Bethle-
hem and Crucible Steel did little one
way or the other.
The selling in General Motors car
ried the price down almost . points,
when it broke through 165, but it re-
traced the loss later in the day. 1t
was evident from the action of the
oil shares that there were still some
good sized offerings overhanging the
market and lower prices were reach
cd in General Asphalt and Marland,
which had been among the leaders in
the recent attempt to bring about
higher levels for this class of stocks.
Burns Brothers class A was
strong specially, getting up points
at one time on reports that negotia-
tons for a consolidation with Rubel
coal interests have about been com
pleted
Texas Gulf Sulphur had to absorb

held within a point of the previous
closing and subsequently reacted
more than the early decline.
