special Dispatch to the star.
NEW YORK, March 13.-Under q
moderate volume of selling, today's
stock market had q sharp reaction.
even the public utilities, which had
stood out earlier in the week, turning
downward today.
For the unsettlement there was no
specific reason. Rather 1t was because
OF general encouragement over the
railroad situation, over the slow rate of
improvement in steel. over 1880 earn
ings statements, which revealed the ex-
tent OF the depression in many lines
and over the action Of the market
itself.
Short Sellers Active.
Liquidation OF margin accounts was
not extensive enough to account for the
reaction. It played a part, but short
selling accounted for good deal of the
transactions. The more important
of bids by investors who thought they
could obtain stocks on better terms by
waiting.
Among the larger losses today were
those in Eastman Kodak, Bethlehem
Steel, the always cratic Auburn Auto,
and In Baltimore g. Ohio. Eastman
Kodak sold today more than 20 points
under the years high attained less
than three weeks ago. This is a high
priced stock which normally moves
over q wide range. but the decline Ger
tainly went far to atone for any ex-
travagance. Under 100 Kodak yields
over per cent at the present dividend
rate.
The steel stocks were all heavy.
United States Steel dipped below 143
to new low on this movement while
Bethlehem Steel sold of a couple Of
points before meeting any support. Au-
burn Auto went down IN It's usual fash
ion without other reason than the
weakness in the list as whole. Bal
timore q Ohio was rejecting doubt
about the dividend action at next
weeks meeting.
Ran Group Weak.
Besides Baltimore g. Ohio, railroad
stocks which sagged included St. Louis

Thursdays gain; Eackawanna, another
stock with an uncertain dividend
status, and Northern Pacific. 1t is
sometimes argued that many Of these
rails have discounted in their price
any prospective dividend reduction, but
that would be true only II there were
reasonable chances Of improvement in
car loadings.
The influence Of annual reports was
shown in q new low for Texas Cor
poration, which earned $1.53 q share
In 1880 against $5.12 In 1929, and In
the better support accorded to Inter-
national Telephone, whose earnings
were somewhat larger than shad been
expected.
The utilities which gave way in
cluded American Telephone & Tele-
graph and American Water Works, the
former down over 3 points and the
latter about the same. Even Console
dated Gas, United Corporation, United
Gas Improvement and Public Service
of New Jersey, the four stocks in which
speculation for the rise had been most
active earlier In the week, yielded more
or less today.
Early Market Irregular.
In q market composed mainly Of pro-
fessional trading prices pursued an
irregular course early today.
During the first half hour trading
amounted to only 1000 shares, COM
pared with 100000 in the same period
Thursday. CAN money renewed at III
per cent, with ample supplies at the
money desk and the consequent threat
Of drop in outside rates.
The feature Of trading was the weak
ness of Baltimore e. Ohio. While 1t
did not move of widely, each sale set
q lower price and 1t was evident that
possible dividend cuts we're being dis
counted in that and other railroad
stocks. Frisco, Pennsylvania and Lacka-
wanna were also of. United States
Steel was heavy, dropping to a frac-
tional net loss at 143 after opening
higher.
In the industrial list, Allied Chemical,
with Appoint decline at 148Ik, was
the weak feature. American Can and
Westinghouse were fractionally lower.
But there were gains in j. I. Case, Gen.
eral Electric, Corn Products and Column
bia Graphophone. Mine shares were
about unchanged. In the motors
Auburn recovered most of an opening
loss. General Motors was shade lower
at 43A.
The showing of International Tele-
phone In earning its dividend in what
was most difficult year for the COM
pany was reflected in a point gain In
the stock. American Telephone and
North American were lower but Con-
solidated Gas gained. Oils were quiet.
So were specialties and equipments.
