 gave way to a period of heaviness
 which was featured by the wide
 spread liquidation Of the oil shares, selling was for both accounts and in-

 quarters, although it was generally agreed that business would benefit
 from the lower tax schedules likely . to be adopted during the present session. The days business news
 was largely favorable 10 the stock market, including another advance in the price of export copper and re-
 ports of increasing inquiries for rail- road equipment

 adverse effect on the profits of the leading producing companies. At lantic Refining broke points by early afternoon. and the Pan Ameri- can issues sank to new low levels for the year. American republics, on the other hand, showed independent strength, gaining nearly six points.
