NEW YORK, March 30.-New low
prices for the year were made all
> through the Stock Exchange list to-
day.
There was heavy selling under the
5ntfuenCe of the uncovering of stop
loss orders and of aggressive opera
tions for the decline. The railway
shares, some of them, broke wide open
and so did certain of the oil shares
hike an.AnIerican "B'' and Marland.
The last named was heavily sold
as it fell below so. Hudson Motor
had a bad smash, but there was
better support for General Motors.
Industrial specialties, some of them,
were very weak.
The market closed almost at the
bottom. with active selling still in
progress.
Reports to the effect that banking
interests were active on the long side
had only a temporary effect in check
Ing the decline.
There was nothing in the outside
news to account for the drastic sell
ing that came into the market for
railway stocks. The railway group
was not so much affected as was the
industrial section of the market on
She preceding day.
Bears Attack Rails.
The element worhing for lower
prices concentrated their efforts in
this section of the market today and
were successful in forcing prices
down point to as much as points
in some of the high-priced issues.
Atlantic Coast Line slipped off easily.
Coca Cola, which had been the one

Others during the recent downward
movement in the market generally,
met little support today and was SELL
sng substantially lower with the rest
Even those shares involved in the
proposed Greater Loree System bore
their share in the decline.
The selling of the steel stocks was
mot as pronounced. Large blocks of
United States Steel common were
Eaken around 1872 early in the ses-
sion, which represented a gain of a
half point from the Monday final.
But this was subsequently lost when
abe market turned weak again in the
afternoon. Publication of the annual
report of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and
Iron for 1925 had a favorable effect
upon the market for that stock. Earn
angS for the common after deductions
for depreciation. depletion and taxes
were equal to S1509 a share on the
common, compared with $10.47 i'm
1924.
Some Well Sold.
Shares of companies in which pools
are known to have been active and
have suffered severely as a result of
the recent bear campaign, appeared
20 have been pretty we'll liQuidated
around today's low prices.
Postum Cereal was subjected to fur
ther heavy liquidation at the outset,
but later recovered. Allied Chemical
and Dye, which was carried down
more than points on Monday, rallied
across 109. where 1t was more than a
point higher. The equipments gave a
better account of themselves than
they have for some time, but no effort
was made to continue the recovery.
