Finances of the nation will not

THE proposed loans will be made

Thus, this payment of loans
would cost the government nothing,
because the reserve fund belongs to

over it."

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE stock
market rise of Monday carried over
until afternoon today when stocks
at new peaks for the year met a
terrific onslaught of profit-taking
that reduced prices l to II points
from the high levels.
The ferocity of the selling wave
was of such proportions that it soon
spent itself, and as the end of the
fourth hour approached the market
had righted itself again and was
rallying sharply from the low levels.
In the decline, Auburn was car
ried down II points from the high;
Case 8, and Worthington Pump 6,
while reductions. of 2 to 5 points
we're made by United States Steel,
Vanadium, American Can, Mont
gomery Ward, A. NJ Byers. Cen
eral Electric, Westinghouse Electric
and Bethlehem Steel.
The whole market followed these
issues down with recessions on a
smaller scale.
Trading volume was about half a
million shares above Mondays level
and tickers were running at capacity
during the unloading process.
The sudden turn came at a time
when the majority of operators had
anticipated further extension of the
rise.
Astute traders took this opportu-
nifty to take their profits. The SELL
ing was moderate at first, but it
gathered Roadway swiftly.
The market absorbed the stock in
such a manner, however, that the
volume of offerings soon dried UP
and trading fell off as the list was
fcadjusting itself around 2 p. m.

cient scope to affect the list, and

limiting that Paul V. McNutt's

But other Republicans gulped
audibly at the pill they swallowed.
The pill was compounded finally at
a special house session Monday
night when amendments prepared
by McNutt, dean of Indiana uni
yersity's law school and leading
contender for the Democratic nomi-
nation forl Governor in 1882, were
adopted by the top-heavy Demo-
cratic majority. Amendments, Of
Tered by Republicans, were shouted
down without exception.

night, voiced his partys protest to-
