The only relatively bright spots were
the auto industry, the responsible lead

that confidence, and a widespread re-
port that the Anaconda Copper directors
at their meeting Wednesday would make
no further reduction in the dividend
rate. During the early trading copper
stocks ranged higher, standing out on
that account.
Most of the time the motors were
steady. Special interest was taken IN

rest of the market turned downward.

the morning hours, sold down to 1879,

of the losses, however, were large and
activity fell off on the decline.
The market had a number of dis

banking failure in Philadelphia and an
other in Miami depressed sentiment.
Wheat went to another new low and,
inaSmuch as commodity prices are
closely followed nowadays by specula-

either. Then the November railway
