 May Delay Reduction Plans

 At the same time it was suggested that the market was adjusting itself to actual conditions and officials said i the stock prices generally still were above those paid by persons who bought them at ordinary stages some time ago, and that those who bought them at the top prices were the ones affected by the sumps. Officials added that business was not at its peak, but in their opinion was being maintained on strong level.
