NEW YORK, August 12.-After re-
sisting heavy selling during the early
part OF the session, curb stocks broke
sharply in the last hour today and
finished 2 to points under the clos
ing levels of Thursday
The market met a good volume of
buying orders on the way down. but
once the decline got underway some OF
these orders were withdrawn, and the
bull forces withdrew to the sidelines
to permit the reaction to run its course.
Electric Bond & Share was of about 3
points on the day and nearly 5 points
under its best price on the recovery.
Cities Service closed off fractionally aft
er holding most of the day around 512.
The market opened with firm tone.
Then came a period when offerings
were quite heavy, but on the way down
buying orders, placed below the mar
ket by those awaiting just such re-
action to get in, were encountered.
When the list showed resistance, some
short covering developed.
Great Atlantic SE Pacific Tea showed
July sales OF s64,238,619, against ST.
or, ,658 in July, 1881. Tonnage sales
were down only about $4,000, however.
