Market Slumps At Opening and l. Weakness Continues

New York. April 1 Op - Large selling orders came into the stock market over the week lend. and prices moved sharply lower at the opening of today's session. Radio opened with block of 10.- 900 shares at 1o2. off 1-2. Initial declines of 2 to 1-4 points were registered by General Motors, In- | ternational Combustion. kroger l Stores and Columbia Graphophone. A call money renewal rate of 10 per cent. compared to Is on Thurs the market. and prices continued to skid under flood of selling during the forenoon. General Electric sold off more than 10 points. Radio touched 97. off 9 1-2 points, and such shares as American Telephone. Anaconda Copper. Greene Cananea and Electric Auto Lite, lost about 3 points each. Issues falling from 1-2 to 1-2 points included Amer ican Can, |. s. Steel, Kennecott, Bethlehem, Montgomery Ward and Johns Manville.
 Several disturbing market factors developed over the weekend to in- f1uence a resumption of the selling movement. Senator Kings proposal for an investigation of stock specu- lation, coupled with suggestions from other quarters that legislation be enacted to prevent Federal Reserve member banks from making loans 10 finance margin accounts, un- doubtedly inspired heavy liquidation. Wall street also was disappointed over the drop of only s144,000, 900 in brokers loans, which failed to offset the increase of the week be- fore.
 So great was the accumulation of selling orders that specialists found it necessary 10 bunch many of them into blocks of 5000 to 12,0OO shares. General Motors opened with block of 12,000 shares, L. s. Steel conn., mon with block of 10000 shares. and several other recent speculative favorites changed hands in blocks of 5000 to 5000 shares.

Sweetest Baby
in Washington"

For over fifty years, mothers,
like this well-known Washington
woman, have been telling each
other about California Fig Syrup,
and leading physicians have been
endorsing 1t. Nothing else acts so
gently and harmlessly to propel
the souring waste from the deli
cate system of babies and chill
dren, which, when allowed to re-
main, keeps them cross, sfeverisln,
bilious, headacfy, weak, with
coated tongue, bad breath, broken
out skin, no appetite or energy.
Its rich, fruity goodness helps to
give tone and strength to their lit
tie stomach and bowels so they
continue to act normally, of their
own accord. It helps to build up
and strengthen them - makes
them active and happy.
II have used California Fig.
Syrup with my little daughter since
early babyhood," says Mrs. Agnes
I. Dyer, 21l Sixth ST. NE. .When-
ever she has q cold, is the least bit
constipated or doesn't seem lust
right, I always give her q little.
and It fixes her up quick. She's
the picture Of health, now, and
friends say she's the sweetest baby
In Washington. She has never
had d serious Illness, and / give
California Fig Syrup full credit
for 1t"
Protect your child from imita-
tons of California Fig Syrup, See
