A 17,00O-bsrrel daily decline in
crude oil production; increasing
sales of popular makes of automo-
biles; better demand for copper
metal in home and foreign markets;
slight decline in freight car load
ings on American railroads, and re-
ports OF a good influx of orders for
steel manufactured goods OF various
kinds constituted the principal de-
veiopments in business circles,
The market encountered e0nsid+
cradle selling pressure near the
end OF the first hour, and prices OF
many Of the speculative leaders
were bent backward q point or two.
Oils lost good part of their latest
advance, and steel and sugar stocks
moved downward. Motors and
specialties continued active and
strong, with Packard selling at so
for the first time this year.
Commodity markets were steady,
with cotton inactive in the first
hour while awaiting the Govern
ment crop report, grain prices were
practically unchanged in this
period. Call money also unchanged
