HEAVY PRESSURE
 |SFELT ON CURB
Shares Decline Rapidly, Several
 Penetrating Years Low

New York, June IS P-Curb today under even heavier pressure than that of Saturday, the more ac- tive shares declined rapidly, several approaching or penetrating the years lows Continued weakness of commodity prices and the lack of heavy bear selling.
 The utilities again bore the brunt of the selling. These issues attract ed the largest public following dur ing the upward movement earlier in the year, and have been found es- pecially vulnerable to bear attacks Bears also emphasize the fact that even at current levels, utilities arc selling in at high earnings ratios.
 Electric Bond and Share broke more than points to within striking distance of the years low. Among the more volatile issues, Duke Power tumbled more than 10. Shares los ing 2 to points or more embraced such stocks as America Gas and Electric and lower priced shares such as United Light A. Brazilian Traction, Middle West Utilities and America Superpower.
 The oils attracted a little support in the early dealings, but soon turned downward, although selling in most of these shares was not heavy Cities Service sagged more than a point to within less than points of it's 1880 low, and Houston Oil new penetrated new low ground. Stan darn of Indiana sold up little, then sagged. Ohio was firm for a time, evidently refecting the trans continental merger, but later turned downward.
 The industrials were less active than other groups, but generally sagged, several reaching new lows. Tn the investment trusts, Trans america was again notably heavy.

BONDS BEGIN WEEK.
 IN QUIET MANNER
Domestic Bonds, With Exception Of Railroad Issues, Unchanged

New York, June 6 CP-Listed bonds started off a new week rather quietly today, the market was steady with traders showing no partiality for any one section of the list. De- mestic bonds, except few railroad issues, were practically unchanged. Foreign bonds showed improvement with many government issues ad- vancing from IA to 1-2 point in the early trading but even there the sales were nominal.
 Baltimore and Ohio 5s, Erie 5s, Union Pacific As, and Nickel Plate As tended higher. Southern Railway 4s and St. Paul Adjustments were under pressure.
 The weakness of the stock market was reflected in the easy tone of convertibles. International Tele phone 42s which last week lost nearly ' points to touch a new low for the year showed strength at the opening today, then reacted.
 Nearly the entire foreign list showed advances, with buying cen tered in South American and Eu- ropean governments. The new Ger man 1-2 issue sold from Is 10 1-4 above the offering price.

Stock Prices Fall to New Level As Market Enters Third Week of
 Its Almost Steady Price Decline
Scores of Issues Show Losses Ranging From Four to Twenty Points.

New York, June Is GP) - Stock prices were crushed down to new low lcvels for the movement today, as the stock market entered the third week of almost steady decline. The unloading of stocks today was one of the most drastic of the year, and the decline in prices was precip- itous, scores of issues losing from four to about 20 points.
 The selling showed signs of slack ening during the early afternoon when the ticker, which had been nearly half an hour in arrears, be- gan to catch up with floor prices. This was regarded as a good sign, for traders have felt that the selling movement of the past several days would not end without reaching crisis of heavy selling.
 The decline in stocks was accom- panied by fresh breaks in commodi- ties. wheat and cotton selling off rapidly. copper prices were aga.n reduced. Copper Exporters, Inc, cut it's price to 12-30 cents from 1855. which brought the domestic price down to l2 cents generally, Weekend business and trade re- ports were largely of a negative character, but sentiment in the steel trade, if anything, seemed a trifle more cheerful, with prices showing some degree of stability.
 Particularly discouraging was weakness in gasoline prices, coming at a time when the petroleum in dustry seemed to be making rapid strides in its program to put pro- duction on a sound basis. Retail gasoline was cut 3 cents a gallon to Y cents in California, and whole sale prices at Chicago were said to display a weak tone.
 The influence of the tariff meas ure upon the market was difficult of determination, in view of the gen. erally unsatisfactory character of business reports. In any case, Pres ident Hoover's emphasis upon the more favorable aspects of it gave no support to the market. It was ru- mored in brokerage circles that some interests displeased with the measure were heavy short sellers and that some liquidation appeared from traders who feared it's infu- ence on foreign trade. In general | however, 1t was regarded as. of scant i influence, for passage and executive approval was confidently forecast in Wall street several days ago.
 L. s. Steel declined more than points, to a new 1880 low below 160, after efforts were made tc support 1t at that level.
 American Telephone dropped : points to new low ground around 21o. In all, more than 1so issue! reached new minimum levels fol ! 1880 or longer. including a wide assortment of investment rails,
 Shares losing five to 10 points in cluded Westinghouse Electric, Amer ican Tobacco B, American Can Union Pacific. American Wate Works, Houston Oil. Worthingtor Pump. Standard Gas. United Air craft, International Telephone. anc Byers. Allied Chemical dropped about 20 points, and Case declined sharply, agalr going below 200.
