In the Stock Market

NEW YORK, April 2.-The mixed
movement Of prices was the feature
Of last weeks market Sharp de-
clines and recoveries were made
within a period of a few moments
under heavy volume and speed not
heretofore witnessed. Such activity
simply indicates that caution has
been thrown to the winds and that
investors and traders are following
an Uncharted course in an Uncom-
passed ship. There are shoals ahead
upon which some will pile up IN
less they pull in their sails. There
is little news TO be had upon which
an opinion, good or bad, may be
based. Therefore the traders posi-
ton is made all the more difficult
because any news forthcoming Of
an unfayorable nature is quite like
ly to receive more attention than
it deserves and naturally reflects in
the stock market with great in
tensity than if more equilibrium pre-
vailed

u. S. PAYS rs CENTS TO
SEND OFFICIAL LETTERS
Move to Cut Down Amount of
Federal Correspondence.

1t costs the Government 26 cents
a letter to handle the Governments
profuse correspondence, according to
bulletins received by various Fed
eral Bldg. offices today.
The bulletins asserted practical
tests of stenographic work had re-
vealed that figure as the approx
mate cost.
The figure is not exact. but &C
cur&te enough to be significant and
startling the bulletins quoted the
director Of the budget as saying.
1T would be an excellent plan for
a Government personnel responsible
Tor correspondence to have that sig
nificant '26 cents give a prominent
place on their desks. 1t may serve
as a deterrent"
1t was estimated mere than 1000
letters are sent by officials in the
Federal Bldg. here daily.

Ry United Press
NEW YORK, April Uncertain
ty regarding the present stock
market was more pronounced in the
early trading today Selling went
ahead in the leading issues which
had been carried up sensationally
in the last two weeks of March.
The month opened with sailing
drive for Radio Corporation, Gen
eral Motors, United States Steel,
General Electric and others. Rail
road stocks, on the other hand were
strong while oils, with the exception
of General Asphalt, declined.
Radio opened 10000 shares at 178,
a decline of points from the
previous close which in turn was a
loss Of points from the last price
of Friday. The issue then came
back sharply, touching 1882 from
which it receded slightly later.
Strong Support
Unusually strong support came to
the aid of the entire list in the
first half hour and confidence was
being restored on the buying side
in many sections
LOeWs was a strong spot in the
amusements, selling within IS of its
record at TOSS. Nickel Plate, Read
ing and st. Louis Southwestern
featured the rail group Motor is
sues generally sagged. General Mo-
tors opened 184l2 off 4 and declined
to 1874 without recovering.
The Wall Street Journals f1nan-
cial review today, in describing the
market, said:
1.-THE public confidence regarding
the ability of the market to pro-
coed upward in a straight line was
shaken by the abrupt reaction in
Saturdays late trading This set
back brought a flood Of selling Or
ders Sunday and further recessiorS
took place at the start of the new
week.
General Motors was subjected to
special pressure on rumors of a
price cut in the siX-cylinder field"
InduStriaIS Recover
Railroad stocks we're in demand
throughout the morning, while in
dustrials made sharp recoVeries
However, renewals of call money at
5 per cent brought some selling to-
ward noon.
Wright Aeronautical was an out
standing feature of the special is
sues, soaring 81 points to new
high at 1O115. Radio recovered to
1925 from its opening to 178 and
then eased to 1873. General motors
got back to its previous close Of 1877
after an early loss of points The
gain in the latter issue followed the
record production report on Chev-
rolet cars.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 3.-auto-

paying special heed, in their sur

export aspects Of the industry, con
sclous of the fact that overseas trade

rms Is regarded as significant,
coming as il does with the industry

what promises to be the greatest
year IN the history Of the domestic
market with no decrease IN home de-
mand expected during 1929.
Far from viewing with compIaeency

the fact that foreign trade barriers

Explaining his forecast, he said:
