STOCK PRICES IN
 DOWNWARD TUMBLE
Heavy Selling Responsible for
 Declines

E" the Associates. Press.
 New York April oS.--stock prices underwent another sharp downward djustmcnt today under heavy selling for both accounts. The selling centered largely in the steels and industrials, which were liauidated on further urfavorable trade news. but support also was lacking for number Of other recent industrial and railroad leaders, declines Of to , points being scattered through out the list.
 olls sank to new low levels for the year on predictions 0. trade executives that the era 0, over-pro- duction in the oil industry was like ly 10 be Of long duration. and that disaster threatened some companies. A further decline in steel production. coupled with the threat or a seri- ous suspension Of work by the New York building trades. inspired the liquidation Of the steel shares.
 Growing estimates Of flood dam age brought about further liquida- ton Of the shares ot railroads traversing the Mississippi valley. Weakness also developed in some Of the eastern carriers. particularly New York Central and Reading. Bangor and Aroostook continued its sensational gain.
 General Motors was rou'dated freely and sold down more than 2 points. but Pierce Arrow preferred. which recently sustained a bad break on tho publication ot a poor quarterly report, received better support. Weak spots also cropped out in Q number Of the amusement equipment, food and chemical shares.
 The market steadied after midday when strong buying support ap- peared for a number Of leaders, but the higher prices encountered in creased offerings.
