STOCKS FAETER
To NEW LOW
LEVELS
By w. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Oct. 10 I.NS).
After an irregular opening, in
which prices of the active shares
showed only moderate fluctua-
tionS in both directions from
Thursdays closing levels. the
market was called upon to alb
sorb further selling of the indus
trial leaders and the list turned
downard.
Selling Of poorly-margined spec.
ulative holdings forced heavy
liquidation in the first half hour,
as evidenced by the turnover OF
o63,O00 shares in that period.
Most of the favorites dipped
60 new low levels in thu second
hour. United States Steel, after
rallying to 148, broke to 145B,
establishing a new low level for
the year. American and foreign
power, in the popular utility
group, dropped off 8 points to a
new low at 80. Westinghouse,
after a short rally at the open
ing, declined to 1l0 for a new
3-point loss. General Electric
sold under 81, and Bethlehem
Steel settled down under persis-
tent pressure to 10.
New York Central led the down
ward move of the investment rails
and sold off 2 points at 139, the
lowest price since 1927. New
losses of a point or more were
recorded in other important stocks
in this section Of the list, but
there was less urgent selling
than among the speculative indus
trials.
