NEW YORK, Jan. II dN.S)
Persistently haInmering at the
market in the first hour today
the bears again forced prices Of
o number Of active stocks to
lower levels and created consider
able disturbance in some sections
Of the list. Radio was under fire
and dropped off 11a to 81. The
lowest price since the turn Of the
year. Anaconda Copper was
swept down to 70 on heavy trad
ing, and most Of the high-priced
specialties lost ground.
The bears were not so success
ful with the motor stocks which
received powerful support as soon
as the market swung into action.
A block of 10000 shares of Gen.
eral Motors was taken AT more
than half a point above yester-
days closing price, Nash and
Chrysler also were in good de-
mand around Thursdays closing
levels.
Railroad stocks started at lower
price levels and lost ground as
the session advanced. Investment
buying has been diverted from
the rails by the disappointing
earnings reports for the last
months Of 1929 and the shrink
age of January freight car load
ings. The motion picture stocks
continued to give a good account
of themselves. Loew'S forging
