CURB CRUMPLES
UNDER HEAVY
PRESSURE
BY THEODORE KOsLOW

NEW YORK, Feb. IA Q.N.SO.
The curb market experienced a
sharp sinking spell today as
heavy liquidation and short sell
ing carried the majority of specu-
lative leaders to their lowest
levels Of the year.
Hasty withdrawal of support
orders left some of the more
volatile issues especially suscepti-
BILE to offerings, with the result
that losses ranged up to 5 points
in one or two stocks.
Utilities UnIOOsed in Volume
The utility group was pressed
for sale in large volume, with
Consolidated Gas Of Baltimore
the hardest hit among the active
issues with a drop of pa points
to 60A. American Gas and Elec-
trio was off 2 points at 25l2,
Electric Bond and Share was
down 11a at 1412, American
Light and Traction was "a lower
at 1712.
Aluminium was under pressure
in the speciality list with a de-
cline of ga points to 4434. Great
Atlantic and Pacific Stores was
off 112 at 1401a, Ford of Canada
dipped "a to 534 and Cord was
off 3s at 6.
The Cities Service issues showed
somewhat greater resistance to
pressure with the fractional
losses sustained by the common
and debenture issues still main
tanning them above the lows of
the year.
Gold Shares Steady
Gold Shares stood out in the
general unsettlement, with frac-
tional gains noted in Pioneer,
Hollinger and Lake Shore.
Bond prices were sympathetic
ally unsettled, with utility liens
dropping a point or so on the
average.
