RAIL STOCKS WEAK
IN DRAGGY MARKET
Remainder of List Displays
Irregular Trend on
BeariSh News.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March Weakness
in the railway shares was the outstand-
ing feature in today's stock market.
Practically all the members of the group
declined on a moderate amount of SELL
ing. Industrials were irregular, holding
up remarkably well in the face of the
action of the rails.
One reason for the pressure on the
railroad stocks, which was in evidence
from the start. was the weekly report of
car loadings. These showed an increase
of Al 534 cars over the preceding week,
but that was less than the seasonal
gain and was 150182 cars below the
corresponding 1880 week and 224,005
cars below the same week in 1929.
Meeting Postponed.
Another reason was the uncertainty
about so many railway dividends. Post
ponement of the meeting of the Balti-
more & Ohio directors for a week pro-
longed the doubt in that case and the
safety e the present scale Of disburse-
ment on the common shares of many
other roads was questioned.
New York Central went to a nsW low
in the first hour, although it had been
supposed that the market had dis
counted the dividend reduction here.
Central stock went contrary to the
Wall Street axiom that prices rally
after the bad news is out The dlYl-
dend was cut Just a week ago today,
but the stock sold this morning almost
points under the closing price the day
of the announcement. Other new lows
were made by uri-Kansas-TeXas,
st. Louis-San Francisco and Reading.
The laSt-named sold the lowest since
1925, suggesting concern over the action
of directors of this road at their next
meeting. Baltimore SJ Ohio is the larg-
est holder of Reading.
Weakness appeared in LackaWanna,
Union Pacific, stakeholder in both
New York Central and Baltimore 81
Ohio and in Atchison, making a very
complete picture of the speculative at
titude toward the rails.
Industrial List.
1t was a tribute to the markets
strong technical position that the in
dustrials held their position as well as
they did when the rails were exhibiting
such sensitiveness to selling. Unitsd
States Steel during the morning hours
was unimportantly changed on the day,
General Electric was well supported
despite the showing in the annual re-
port. General Motors held within a
fraction of its best for the year and
American Can ranged higher.
The point Of Importance in the trade
reviews of the iron and steel industry
was the stress put on the improvement
in demand from the automotive in
dustry. To quote from the iron age:
Motor car demand for steel is con-
spicuous for its Uninterrupted expansion.
