STOCK SALE LARGE
IN Strong MARKET
New Favorites Appear as
Forum Leaders Encounter
Reactions.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
NEW YORK, August 22.--Stocks
were churned about violently in today's
market In some respects the action
was reminiscent of the excitment of
last Spring. The turnover was very
large, the tape fell behind and there
was every evidence of an increased
public participation
The price movement was the result
ant of the clash of profit taking from
those who had bought stocks Tuesday
and the orders of new buyers today.
Reaction in issues which had enjoyed
the largest advances on the day before
went along with gains by newly found
favoritcs. The realizing, however. was
we'll absorbed and such setbacks as oc-
Cured were relatively unimportant.
Money renewed at per cent which
was the same as the renewal rate on
Tuesday 1t was Arm at this figure, but
the Street had become so used to high
money that this factor was OF little
effect
Overnight buying orders brought
many striking upturns at the opening
Sears Roebuck started in 143. Zip over
3 points and at a new high for the
present shares. National Dairy PRODUCTS
set new high record at the start.
Packard rose points to new top
for the year. During the early trad
ing. numerous other stocks bsttered
their previous highs for 1923 Among
them we're American Smelling & Re-
fining. National Cash Register. s. s.
Kresge and Brockway Motors.
United States Steel opened fraction
allv higher but met offerings at this
level and moved through narrow
range during the forenoon. General
Motors opened higher and by noon had
become the market leader. Supposedly
there is large short interest in motors.
The other side of the market was
represented by the selling in Columbia
Gas. Cudahy Packing, Montgomery
Ward End some of the rails, among
them Baltimore 81 Ohio.
A few of the oils we're taken up today,
notably Barnsdall "A" The express
stocks were more active. Adams jump
ing another 10 points to 3i5.
Business fell off somewhat In the aft
ernoon. Individual stocks continued to
push ahead. but the general list made
little progress in either direction. Radio
was the feature. crossing 1911, against
the previous close of 1874.
Packard held around its high. but steel
was slightly lower Gillette Safety Razor

stocks for attention regardless OF the
trend of the market as whole.
