NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-success in
meeting the business problems OF

measure upon the extent TO which
the principles of science are applied

Pierson reminds us that a ma.

the last three years has been still
further strengthened by a marked
Improvement in the agricultural

MARKET TREND
IS WOBBLY

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The week
end business and financial reports
were not such as to stimulate very
much speculative buying of either
the Industrial or the railroad stocks,
and prices moved through a narrow
margin at the beginning of trading
today. Feeble rallies took place in
the first hour in few of the mar
ket favorites. including General
Motors and United States Steel. but
numerous specialties, oils. coppers
and other industrials declined to a
lower range of prices.
The promised increase In steel
and automobile buying showed little
evidence of having materialiZed,
and fresh weakness appeared in the
steel shares In the second hour.

town. held at fractional gains.
Though Wall Street held the gen.
eral impression that pessimistic re.
ports had been somewhat over.
drawn. there was very little to sup.
port that theory in the buying de-
mand for stocks. Bearish traders
in and out of the financial district
continued to hammer at the specu.
lative faVorites, forcing prices in
many cases To the lowest levels
since the peaks were reached in
early September.
The pool stocks, in which distri-
button is now being carried out,
suffered heavy shrinkage, and high
priced specialties in the insurance
stocks moved downward sensation
ally. Rossia Insurance, which
touched a peak price of 1874 yes
terday, dropped back to 1855 for a
39.point decline, Signalling the end
