 New York, Sept 2o-(UFl- Foreign and domestic selling sent the stock market down 1 to 10 points in the early trading today. A gradual recovery reduced the losses. but another decline was in progress at the close,
 A long list of issues sold for 10 to i5 day delivery gave Q clue to the foreign unloading which has been persistent in recent sessions.
 Uncertainty over the future of the dollar was the principal cause for the selling. The dollar made q new low in terms of the franc to- day at 69 3-4 cents. Foreign ex- changes were 'buoyant against the dollar in the morning. Later they reacted sharply, recovered again and dipped before the close. A statement by Secretary of Agricul- ture Wallace that imitation would not cure present ills unsettled the foreign exchange markets. l.

 Eearly selling eentered on farm equipment, some of tho gold shares, rnils and wet stocks. Gold miners rallied late in the day, Homestake recovering all an it-point loss, and others either holding at the pre- yious close or making smnl gains, Silver issues and the smeltins stocks were down sharply and they recovered part of the losses.

the affair was that the others,
George Twine and Hollis Cor

holt. They listened to his
every word as if each word were
inspired. AS for Patricia, they
considered her a worm as they
were worms themselves.
What I want from you,
Patricia" declared Haverholt,
"what I'm going to have, is
steadiness. You stick to the
book and we'll get along"
George and Hollis nodded
solemnly. Patricia'S cheeks
grew redder, her eyes brighter.
Then and there, she deter
mined to show Haverholt that
she was as capable of skill
and Subtlety and finesSe as
he was. He wanted a con-
servative game from her, did
he? She would show him that
she had got beyond that stage.

chance. Hollis opened with

Half an hour later Haverholt

She heard him enter. She sat
up, dabbing at her Redeemed

His own anger had spent itself.
