CURB RALLY HALTS !. MORNING REACTION
Losses Of About Two Points Re,
 duced by Early Afternoon

New York, March 12 (P) The curb market reacted moderately in the morning today. but leading shares attracted strong support after concessions of two points or so, and losses were reduced or cancelled by early afternoon. As short selling is a lesser factor on this market, it did not decline as sharply as the big board did during the morning break.
 Utilities Pressed
 Utilities again bore the grunt of the selling. American and Foreign Power warrants sagged to a new low for the year along with the stock on the big board, and Electric Bond &; Share. the parent company, drop ped two points before rallying. Duke Power dropped nearly eight points, A firm spot was Central Public Service of Delaware, which crept up fractionally into new high ground.
 Some Spccialties Lose
 Technicolor, LoeWs debenturc rights, Crocker Wheeler, Radio Products and Arcturus Tube were among issues in the speciality and industrial group to lose i 1-2 to 4 points in the morning break. A firm spot was Polit Radio Tube, which moved up a fraction to a new high for 1880, despite heaviness in other radio shares. The Pacific Coast Bis cult issues were strong on renewed reports of negotiations looking to- ward a merger with National Bis cult, although the negotiations were said to be far from any successful conclusion. Babcock and Wilcox rose a couple of points to a new top.
 Oils Steady
 Oils were steadied by the favor able crude production figures for lest week, and Standard of Califor- nia's increase in crude prices. These shares, however. failed to make much progress. Humble and Stan1- ard of Kansas sold up a little. Con- tinental of Maine came out of in activity with a gain of a point, Tn sympathy with recent strength of Continental of Delaware on the big board. In the mines, NeWmont dropped a few points.
 Investment Trusts were irregular. Lehman Corp. dropped ? points then rallied smartly.
