STOCKS SUPPORTED
AFTER EARLY DROP
Market Becomes Steadier in
Late Dealings as Lead
erS Show Gains.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES
ecial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 15.-Support
for the industrial leaders steadied to-
days market after stocks, under con-
centrated selling, had dipped into new
low ground for all claSsifications, in
dustrials, utilities and rails.
Selling was heavy and prices were
acutely weak in the first half hour. AL
though margin trading has been re-
duced to a relatively low volume by the
long decline. today'S events showed
that there were still many spectators
close to the danger line and iquida-
tion from this source, forced and vol
untary, accounted for a good deal Of
the pressure.
Volume Picks Up.
In the first 80 minutes 77O,50O shares
changed hands, the largest total for
that period in two months. The ticker
fell behind three minutes.
The majority of active issues made
new lows during this selling. Among
them was United States Steel, which
broke through 1876 for the first time.
Others were General Electric under 43
and American Can under lot, while in
the utility group American Telephone
& Telegraph broke through 178 to the
lowest that stock has sold in the bear
market.
The rails were acutely weak, some of
them breaking points between sales.
New York Central opened at Ill, off 3
points from Saturdays close. Large
blocks of Baltimore & Ohio were thrown
on the market and that stock dipped
over 2 points. One lot of $4,000 shares
of Canadian Pacific at 3712, down al
most 2 points, was another feature of
the early trading. New lows were also
made by Atlantic Coast Line, Chesa-
peake & Ohio, Delaware e. Hudson
Lackawanna, Nickel Plate, New Haven,
st. Louis-San Francisco, Southern
Pacific and Union Pacific.
Losses in the oils were not large but
they, too, went into new low ground,
including this time Standard Oil of
New Jersey. This group suffered not
alone from general conditions but from
the difficulties peculiar to the Oil trade.
Leaders Supported.
Copper stocks went down with the rest,
taking Anaconda and Kennecott to new
lows, among others. Bethlehem Steel
was under pressure again and a long
list of induStrialS violated their previous
resistance points. Among the last named
were j. I. Case, Allied Chemical, West
inghouse Electric and Johns -Manville.
After the initial selling orders had
been executed there was lull, then
rally in United States Steel, American
Can and American Telephone that car
ried the prices for these issues above
Saturdays finals. The improvement
did not extend to the rails in any great
degree, although Lehigh Valley rallied
briskly from its low. Trading was less
active on the recovery, showing that
buyers were unwilling to follow prices
up.
Reasons for the days weakness were

the same as those so effective last week.
Failure OF the bond market to receive
support was one of them. Another was
the disturbing news from abroad. An
other was the continued declines on
commodities. Finally, there we're the
usual crop OF rumors, which every vio-
lent break in the stock market breeds.
1t can be said that all these rumors
did not have foundation in fact, but
they were bad influences just the same.
Heavy Selling at Opening.
The heaviness of the closing on Sat-
urday, coupled with unfavorable buSi-
ness developments during the week end
such as commodity declines, decreased
production and smaller sales, brought
out big offerings of leading shares at
the opening, but some leaders showed
an improved tone during the first half
hour.
United States Steel, after breaking to
a new low, rallied somewhat. New York
Central and American Can behaved
similarly after Scraping new bottom
levels. Transamerica Cooperation, in
which S20,00000 syndicate is said
to have been formed, opened In a
block Of 10000 shares at 1917, or un-
changed, but later hit its previous low
OF 103s, from which 1t then advanced
about q
General Motors was strong spot in
the active issues, as it took offerings
without faltering Oils, rails and cop
pers were notably weak. Sales in the
first half hour we're 770,50O shares, the
largest of any similar period since Octo-
Der 10, when sales aggregated 936, 700
shares. Call money renewed at 21s per
cent.
