ST T0CKS DRIVEN
DOWNWARD
BY W. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Sept. 13 G.N.s).
The industrial stocks ana spe-
cialties were carried sharply
downward at the beginning of
the short session of the market
today by the resumption Of the
heavy selling which unsettled the
market late yesterday. The bears
who had been repulsed in the
final period Friday returned with
a sharp attack on the specula-
tive leaders.
Radio was a target for 4 the
bears, dropping back on heavy
selling to 3912 for a loss of
nearly points. United States
Steel showed an early loss of 214
when that stock fell with hardly
. SHOW OF resistance to 1853.
General Electric lost a point at
7lA.' Auburn sold off about 4
points at 1231a; Radio Keith
was down 112 at 341a; National
Power and Light down 11a at
471a; Sears Roebuck down 8 at
70h.
Positive indications of good
progress in the business recovery
were seen in the weekend sur
veys Of Dun's, Bradstreet's and
the New York banking houses.
The upturn in business is now
more clearly defined, said Dun's,
while increases in wholesale and
retail distribution of goods were
seen in Bradstreet's survey.

BY W. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK. Sept. IS uNs0.
Industrial stocks rallied near the
close Of today's short session,
after having been driven off
sharply in the first hour by q
heavy selling wave.
Bearish traders, whose efforts
on Friday had unsettled the mar.
ket, resumed their attempts to
break prices at the first tap of
the opening bell today, but the
bulls furnished strong support to
their favorites, turning values up
ward.
Investment buying of high-srade
stocks was stimulated by the
favorable surveys of trade and
business conditions by Brad
streets, Dun's, and the principal
Wall Street banks.
United States Steel bore the
brunt of heavy selling in the
first hour and declined sharply
to 167Ns, for a loss of 2H points.
A scramble to pick up" the
stock on the decline brought
about a quick rally and big steel
