RECORD TUESDAY
4,762,4OO Shares C Change
Hands on a Violent, Be
wildering Day

" E
NEW YORK, March 27 1P) - The
speculative Sky-scraper, created by
three weeks of almost steadily rising
prices on the New York exchange, was
rocked to its foundations today by the
temporary collapse of its leading pillars
but new supports were quickly erected
and a few towers built up to new
record heights before the day was over
The days trading set another new
high record at 4,762, 400 shares as ccn-
traSted with the previous peak of A.
176200 shares established yesterday.
Wall street has never experienced
such a day of violent and bewildering
price movements. Prices crashed SIS
to nearly $50 a share in the first half
hour Of trading but the low prices
had not appeared on the tape before a
general rally was under way which
cut down, or wiped out, most of the
early losses and sent few issues soar
ing to new high levels.
The stock ticker, manned by relays
of operators working at top speed, feb
hopelessly behind the market, creating
CONSERVATION among small army of
spectators who thronged the custom
ers rooms of brokerage houses anxious
ly awaiting reports on their orders.

recently abbreviated system of quota

dipped from $15750 to $146.25 in that
first mad frenzy of selling. Radio not
only made up its loss before the end
Of the first hour, but started q new
climb which took it to record price
of $3.50 a share, or $13 above yes
terday's closing quotations, before the
day was over Meanwhile, new lead
ers were brought forward in other
groups to revive speculative confidence
in the market.
New York Central and Rock Island,
mounting to the highest prices in their
history, led an advance in the rail-
road shares which carried the aver
age of 20 leading issues, compiled by
the Associated Press, to new nigh
level for the year at the close of the
market, despite the sharp net declines
in several of the popular industrials,
the average of 20 leading issues in
that grc,lp closed at new high record
for all time.
Heavy buying of Sinclair Oil, which
advanced nearly SO share to new
top price at $285O was accompanied
by rumors that control had passed, or

was brewing as the shouted offerings
of the stock drowned out the spoken
bids. Finally ten minutes after the
opening gong had sounded, the initial
transaction had been agreed upon and
appeared on the tape as q block OF
5000 shares at the spread price Of
$198 to $196 share, as contrasted with
the record high of $199, established
yesterday.
Wall street had expected another
big opening in General Motors at a
new high price Of 5000 or more but
the unexpected decline was quickly in
terpreted by the speculative element as
an indication that the insiders" were
getting out of the stock. Word was
quickly passed back to the brokerage
houses and by them over scores Of
private wires throughout the country
that General Motors, the recognized
market leader, had hit the toboggan.
Thousands of small spectators,
presumably anxious to conserve their
paper profits or limit their losses, hast
lily threw their holdings overheard
Bear traders, who had taken enor-

nous losses in the spectacular rise of
nearly $50 a share in General Motors
in the last three weeks, resumed their
attacks with renewed vigor Hundreds
of "stop loss" orders were automatically
touched off, swelling the volume Of
liquidation which came over the wires
from all sections of the world
Before market sponsors for the issue
could rally their forces the stock had
plunged from $198 share to $780,
dropping from $185 to $180 between
sales. Nimble floor traders, taking
advantage of the unusual situation
bought heavily around the low level
and cashed in SOME handsome profits
in General Motors and other issues be-
fore the day was over. One floor
trader was reported to have taken a
profit of more than 100000 through
the purchase of a block of 10000 shares
which he sold out at an average profit
of more than $5 share. Several
others cleaned up $4,000 to $4,000 in
a few quick turns in other issues.
General Motors quickly regained half
its loss and then the speculative spot

market finished higher fer all deliv-
cries except May Earlier, prices most
of the time were lower, influenced by
weakness of Liverpool and by Slackness
of export demand for wheat from
North America as well as by fore
cast of showers over domestic winter
wheat territory. March delivery of
wheat displayed comparative strength
throughout the day. This was ascribed
to efforts to even accounts on the part
OF traders who were short wheat to
fill contracts that expire before April
/. Receipts of lat carloads of wheat
here today were generally regarded as
evidence that grain from other mar
ketS was being brought here for de-
livery prior to the month-end. There
was talk of possibility that the United
States wheat visible supply total
Monday would show an increase. A
of 2,442000 bushels in the
worlds available stock was announced.
Better weather for the movement of
corn had a decided bearish effect on
the corn market, but was partly coun-
ter-balanced later by wheat strength.
