STOCK MARKET IS
 NOT VERY STRONG
Florida Losses Causes Decline
 in Some Issues

New York, Sept. 2o P-Despite nurries of strength in some Of the investment rails and high grade in dustrials, the stock market lost ground on selling inspired by the gigantic property losses in the Flor ida storm. which may necessitate the heavy sale of securities by insurance companies affected, and by uneasi- ness over the monetary outlook as a result of the sharp deficit shown in last Saturdays clearing house statement.
 Another temporary outburst Of strength took place in the Van Swer- ingen issues, presumably in further reflection of reports that the Cleve- land 1lnanciers were working on q further modification of the consoli- dation plans in an endeavor to satis- fy the minority stockholders of the various roads. Chesapeake and Ohio touched a new record high at 172 5-S, Nickel Plate" common at l93 and Pere Marquette at Hi.
 In the industrial group, new peak prices for the year, or longer were attained by General Motors (new stock) at 15Sls, Du Pont at 317 and Bethlehem Steel at 51 IA. Publi- cation of a relatively poor quarterly earnings statement by the Hudson Motor Car company sent that stock down about points shortly after midday. weakness also cropped out in American Swelling. which quick ly sold down nearly points. Heavy selling of these two issues finally brought about wave of liquidation in the general list, scores of issues in the food, merchandising. equip ment. public utility and steel groups being carried down to points be- low last weeks closing quotations.
