Plunge of Four Points Has
Disturbing Effect on Car

BY STUART r. WEST.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DlsDatcH 10 INC StdE"
NEW YORK, January 4.-For the
first hour or more today prices on the
Stock Exchange continued to sag. 1t
was a dull uninteresting market. re-
lieved only by a. few strong spots
among special issues. Later on the
r1ne became firmer as it was seen that
the downward swing was not bringing
about any important liquidation.
The Atchison dividend was the main
point of concern. In view OF the optl-
mistic predictions of what the dlrec-
tors would do, the whole market was
Jared when the stock plunged down
ward right at the start over four
points. This fairly took the breath
away from recent speculative buyers,
who had no possible chance to get out
except at a considerable loss. Other
rails were disturbed and there We're
losses of half point or more IN New
York Central, Erie first preferred, and
Baltimore & Ohio. Most other railway
leaders went down fractionally.
Sugar stocks were again inclined to
do better following the lead OF South
Porto Rico which sold above the
highest of 1926. Great Western
Sugar was also conspicuously strong,
and Cuban American Sugar. Amerl-
can Sugar. American Beet Sugar and
Cuba Cane preferred, all were higher.
The market for both raw sugar and
sugar stocks was taking its cue from
the apparent Willingness of foreign
consuming countries to fall in with
ideas of higher prices. Refined sugar
quotations were marked up.
Sharp fluctuations appeared among
the industrial specialties. Allied
Chemical, Collins and Altman and
Gimbel Brothers were lower, while
II. S. Industrial Alcohol National
Dairy Products, Woolworth and j. l.
Case were higher. International Har
vester had a fair comeback after
early weakness. There was no signifi-
canoe to any of these movements.
They were merely finishing up the
operations of a month ago which had
not succeeded because of the inability
to interest the outside public.
After several days decline, Ameri-
can Smelling finally ran into support
around it's low of 1879. Tobacco shares
were higher, particularly Tobacco
Products and United Cigar Stores.
Nash Motors, which was the feature
among the motor stocks, sold above
its best for 1926.
