STOCKS SELL Off
IN QUIET MARKET
Irregular Opening Is Fol-
lowed by Sag in Most
Groups.
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April ga moderate
reaction during the early trading in to-
days stock market developed into DOS
tive weakness in the last hour.
The reversal had two causes both Of
them outside the share market itself
In the first place the selling of rail-
way Junior bonds affected unfavorably
their respective stocks The street had
another assault of doubts with regard
to railway financing, notwithstanding
1ne assurances OF the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation.
Much more influential however was
the break in grains. carrying wheat
doWn to cents a bushel. and corn
TO the lowest since 1898 This upset
prices OF stocks of railways serving the
agricultural regions and of corpora
tlons doing business with the farmer.
Among the features the decline in
Auburn Auto, which ran to almost
points, was outstanding. New lows
we're made by Eastman Kodak. Union
Carbide and J. I. Case among others.
Opening irregularly, stocks sold off
Tor the first two hours of business,
with only one or two cases of weak
ness, but tairlv uniformly. The dis
position in the Street was to lock
uPOu wednesday 5 recovery as tecnnl-
cal and not based on any trade i'm
provement. The news from Wash ing
ton today was interpreted unfavorably
and there was nothing on the outside
to encourage buying stocks.
The bond market was closely watched
for a cuo to the trend and when the
railway issues there faltered. stocks
weakened. AtchiSOn, Union Pacific and
the other active issues sold of a point
or so. One or two railways were able
to report increases in net for March
over year ago, but not enough to
Offset the trend
The market was unsettled also by
the break in Auburn, which slipped of
some points to new low. General
Motors was in supply around 81, but
was not pressed for sale as aggressive
ly as yesterday. Hhe General Motors
dividend meeting is scheduled for next
week and the action of the stock
points to cut in the rate. Probably
the motor shares will be unable to
make any progress until this news is
out.

OUTLOOK IN STEEL
INDUSTRY IMPROVES
Production Now at % Per Cent of
Capacity-Motor Trade Orders
Gain.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 28-Although
poor quarterly earning statements have
accentuated the gloom in the iron and
steel industry, the immediate outlook
is for further improvement, said Iron
Age today.
Steel ingot production now averages
% per cent of capacity, compared with
2212 per cent in the preceding week
and 81 per cent two weeks ago, the
review states, adding that a further
expansion of motor car output next
month is certainty. With an increase
in business from the motor trade should
come substantial volume of contracts
for structural steel.
Structural shops are now figuring on
fully 100000 tons of work and expect
about 100000 tons to be placed within
the next month, the review asserted.
second wage cut by the steel in
dustry seems inevitable, it is stated
The chief consideration deterring such
action is the fear that cut might tend
to defeat the efforts of producers toward
stabilizing prices.
