STOCKS IN RALLY
AFTER SHARP DROP
Market Turns About Quickly
in Afternoon as Banks
Take Hand.
BY STANLEY w. PRENOSIL,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, October 4.-With trad
ing running close to record-breaking
proportions, the stock market wit
messed another tremendous wave of
liquidation today, followed by brisk
rally. Early declines in scores of active
issues ranged from to 25 points. but
the subsequent recovery wiped out or
cut down many of these losses and sent
a number of shares up 1 to points
above yesterdays final quotations. The
ticker was nearly an hour behind the
market in the early afternoon, ard
total sales in the first two hours raE
just below 2,775.000 shares.
Yesterdays decline. which was one
of the most severe in recent stock mar
ket history. forced the liquidation of
thousands of weakened speculative &C
counts, but when it looked as though
another wide-open break was imni-
nent. strong banking support was sup
piled, and prices rallied briskly. The
brokers' loans. coming on top of a week
of steadily declining prices. had fur
Their undermined speculative confidence.
Credit Conditions Easier.
Credit conditions were somewhat
easier as result of the heavy liquida-
ton that has taken place, but credit
rates generally were still well above the
levels prevailing at this time last year.
Call money dropped from 61a to 6,
and time money held steady at 9 per
cent. There was a plentiful supply Of
funds available. In view of the recent
sharp decline in prices, Wall Street
was inclined to blame the huge gain in
brokers borrowings on the large volume
of new financing in recent weeks.
Opening Is Lower.
Selling pressure was renewed at the
beginning of today's market, following
the drastic decline yesterday. and prices
moved irregularly lower. Standard Oil
Of New Jersey and International Nickel
opened with blocks of 10000 shares at
declines ranging from a fraction to
nearly 2 points. Simmons Co. and Co
lumbia Graphophone each dropped 3
points, Pittsburgh g. West Virginia "a.
and Timkin Roller Bearing, e. United
Steel common, which lost 10 points yes
terday, opened unchanged at 213. A. M.

American & Foreign Power IL.
The unexpected increase of $43,0000 900
in Federal Reserve brokers' loans to an
other new high record and the closing
out of numerous weakened speculative
accounts as a result OF the many margin
calls sent out overnight brought heavy
selling into the market at the opening.
Blocks of 5000 to 10000 shares were
quite common.
New low records for the year were
established in the first few minutes of
trading by International Combustion at
37N, holster Radio at 201s, Yellow
Truck at 81 and Warner Bros. Pictures
at 4814, the losses ranging from to
points.
Allied Chemical. Auburn Auto, Detroit

dropped to points and early declines
of a point or two were recorded by
General Electric, General Asphalt, Union
