NEW YORK, July 1.-THE credit sit
uation was the dominating factor in the
speculative calculations as to the move
merts on prices on the Curb Exchange
today. Taking cue from the action OF
the main body of stocks on the board,
quotations worked steadily lower, al
though declines we're not as drastic as
they had been yesterday.
Noranda Mines, one of the prime
speculative favorites when the market
was moving forward. was subjected to
heavy selling pressure, much OF which
represented forced liquidation. Below 40
the price compared with the previous
final of STA and the high of Ga when
speculation for the rise was at Its
height Newmont Mining resisted the
pressure better than most others, but at
1856 the price was down from It's high
of 1885,.
Bancitaly Corporation shares were
freely supplied again whenever bids
made their appearance. Sparks With
ington. Safe-T-Stat, National Rubber
Machinery and Deere common, all re-
cent noteworthy performers on the side
of advance, reached lower levels. The
decline in American Rolling Mills eX-
tended to points when 1t changed at
81. Checker Cab was off almost :
points while Safeway Stores, among
the high-priced issues, lost almost 10
points.
The oils received better support pos
sbly because of the fact that they had
shared to a lesser extent in the upward
movement and were looked upon as be-
ing in a position at the current price
level to discount any improvement IN
the trade situation. Standard of Ken
lucky. Humble and International Pc
troleum we're in demand at intervals.
Losses in the utility section ranged
from fractions to as much as points.

American Gas g. Electric lost 3 points
to l57 and United Gas & Improvement
was down a like amount.
