NEW YORK, July IA sharp break

the overnight announcement that an
agreement had been reached on the in

Losses in the active stocks ran 20 10

more than 20 points. Atchison broke 9
points. J. l. Case declined almost ~
points. United States Steel sold well
under par and so on throughout the list.
There was hardly stock exempt from
the trend
A good part of the selling came from
professional operators for the decline.
There was also margin liquidation, but
it Is doubtful II there was much sac
rificing of investment holdings. The
net result was a strengthening OF the
technical position.
From a consideration Of foreign af-
fairs, speculative attention was diverted
to the state of business at home, and
sentiment turned peSSimistic again, al
though that might have been accounted
for by the action of the market rather
than by any tangible events in the
business world It cannot be denied
that the markets reception Of the news

point or so in the more active issues.

buying on the news from Washington

tinue long. Professionals offered stocks
in large volume and prices fell away
rapidly. One of the largest losses came
in J. l. Case. stock, which had been
reported to enjoy sponsorship Of the
operator recently converted from the
bear TO the bull SIDE Case dropped
over 5 points before meeting any i'm
