STOCKS HAVE RALLY
AFTER SELLING Off
New Break in BanCitaIy on
Curb Accompanies Sharp
Sinking Spell.
BIZ GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 23.-The Stock
Market had a short. sharp sinking spell
in the first hour of today'S session. but
later staged a partial recovery.
Initial quotations were down only
fractionally. but offerings increased
after the first 10 minutes Of trading
and declines were distributed uniform
" throughout the list.
The weakness was connected with
the new break in Bancitaly stock In
San Francisco and on the Curb Market
here. The Stock Market has more than
once shown itself sensitive to the ram
iflcations of this situation.
Radio Has Largest Drop.
Radio had the largest drop, dipping
from TIA below l69 for a loss of more
than points. United States Steel
came out in large blocks, slipped of
below lSs, within a fraction Of the low
of the year. General Motors sold down
more than 3 points Declines were
recorded by other active induStrials
such as General Electric, American Can
and Sears-Roepuck.
The secialties, including stocks which
had stood out in other reactionary mar
kets were not exempt, Atlantic Re-
fining lost ground and so did American
Linseed. International Nickel. the two
airplane stocks and American Repuo-
lies. With one exception all the in
dependent motors went down with Cen
eral Motors The exemption was Pierce
ARROW. the preferred stock of which was
in urgent demand, presumably reflect
ing terms of the proposed merger with
Studebaker. The stock had advanced
nearly points Friday and at 81 was
up more than points today.
After an hour or so the selling sub
sided, there was a partial rally ana
the market turned very dull. Even
when most active the turnover was
ahnormally small In the first hour
transactions amounted to only ISL 500
shares, against 4e2, 200 in the CORE
spending period of Friday.
Rubber Shares Sell OF.
Contradictory deductions were drawn
from this falling of in business. Those
optimisically inclined said that the
liquidation was over. On the other
side 1t was argued that all the activity
was on the side of decline, indicating
the immediate trend.
Among the features were the further
selling in the rubber stocks, especially
United States Rubber, the preferred OF
which went lower than at any time in
decade, and the persistent heaviness in
the steels. Railroad stocks were very
dull In the early weakness Missouri
Pacific was down over 2 points and
Western Maryland Cancelled a part of
Fridays gain. Texas & Pacific was
strong.
Another slight rally at the close made
net changes on the day irregular.
Chrysler was conspicuous in the late
comeback.

Wall Street Features

Ys-OvERLAND - The market
for WHY'S Overland continued to ex-
press disappointment over the fact that
the rate at which dividends were re-
sumed was only 80 cents quarterly. A
81 20 rate annually, however, compared
with the previous distributions at the
rate OF only 81 annually. Evidently the
market for the stock was thought to be
high enough.
GENERAL ASPHALT-General AS
phalt was again under pressure In the
oil group. Like most other oil COM
panies, earnings for some time past
have been affected by adverse condt-
lions In the industry. Although signs
of improvement were noted at the start
of the year, earnings for the first quar-
ter continued unsatisfactory. There is
nothing in the earnings situation to
warrant current selling prices for the
common.
