Stocks DROP AGAIN
IN HEAVY SELLING
Ninety Issues Finish Only a
Points Above Bottom of
Last December.
BY JOHN L. COOLEY.


NEW YORK, April 25.-Heavy selling
of few issues weakened what little
resistance the stock market had been
able to muster during the early trans
actions today, and prices dropped
heavily at the close.
In addition to making a new low
for the year, the Standard Statistics
Associated Press composite of 80 stocks
finished only four points above the bear
market bottom, established last Deem
Der. The days average decline was 81
points. Rails made new 1881 low for
the fourth time this week, industrials
for the second time.
Pronounced weakness in Westing-
house, Goodyear Rubber and Johns
Manville, followed by late assault on
General Electric, unsettled sentiment.
Opening changes were narrow and
small gains in number of key shares
suggested the presence Of support, but
the hammering received by special
stocks quickly discouraged any covering
that might have followed. For the first
hour and a half the decline was slow
and although in some measure it re-
flected the Friday suspension of large
commission house, the market as a
whole seemed to have taken that news
without undue alarm. The late selling
represented bear drive fortified by in
creased liquidation. Sales totaled ], AGO.
900 shares.
Pivotal stocks were generally off to
2 points net. General Elsctric's 2-point
loss carried that industrial to a new
low for the present shares, created by
the four for one splitup early in 1890.
United States Steel, however, held
above its 1881 low and lost only point.
A similar decline occurred in American
telephone, Standard Oil of New Jersey,
General Motors, Sears Roebuck. Texas
Corporation. Standard Oil Of New Jer-
sey and Bethlehem.
There was less resistance in numerous
utilities, including Consolidated Gas,
American Water Works, Electric Power
& Light, North American and Public
Service of New jersey, which dropped
2 to 234.
Rails were soft.
General Theaters Equipment and Fox
Film, two amusements identified with
Pynchon & Co., lost 13s each.
The previously expressed view that
present steel ingot output was apt to
remain fairly steady for several weeks
received confirmation, for the time
being, in the estimate of operations in
the youngstown district next week.

NET DECLINE MARKS
TRADING IN COTTON
General Market Steady at End of
Days Business-Selling
Scattered.

NEW YORK. April Is Cp)-A slight
opening advance IN cotton today was
attributed to weekend covering and
Seme buying on reports of continued
cool rains or showers in the South. The
demand seemed to be quite readily sup
piled, however, and after selling up TO
10.44~July broke to 1892 under re-
SAewal Of Liquidation and scattered SELL
ing which seemed TO be promoted by re-
sbortS of weakness IN the stock market.
: Closing quotations were within a point
Gr two OF the lowest on most positions
with July quoted at 1925. The general
..Igiarket closed steady at net declines Of
q 10 points.
THE market opened steady l to 3
points higher on covering which seemed
To be coupled with some local and COM
mission house buying, which may have
been due TO the outlook for continued
: sl6W temperatures in the Southwest and
Ahe reports of further, although COM
p2ratively light rains. The initial de-
niand was quite readily supplied around
10.i3 for May and 1898 for October
with the market later easing under a
-nRnewal Of Liquidation while there was
some reSelling by early buyers. May

~ Business was generally quiet and one
u the chief trading features was the
1urther liquidation of May contracts in
anticipation Of notices next Tuesday.
Tflis was largely in the way of switch
ting from near TO late months. which
was accomplished without much change
in the differences. There seemed to be
no very decided opinion as TO the num-
iber of notices that might be issued in
1.-THE market here. but the view. was quite
generally expressed that they would be
stopped by trade interests at about the
prevailing late month premiums.

on the third level grade near Quad

Washington, D. c., Oct. 22.--
(AP)-As a means of raising
money to unter-balance its de-
clining income, the United States
government is considerig the plan
of a selective sales tax, to be levied
upon certain articles exclusive of
those classified as necessities.
1t is not yet decided wheth-
er such measure will be recon-
mended to Congress, although ex-
perts are already glancing over the
field to determine what articles
might be included under such a
tax. 1t has been definitely decided
that no tax can be placed on arti-
cles Of, food or clothing or other
necessities.
Special taxes on automobiles,
radios, cigarets, and other Injuries
are considered as the logical so
luton to the problem of bringing
in additional revenue to the gov
