STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN LOWER MARKET
Selling Pressure Is Distrib-
uted Over Whole List.
Losses Small.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
NEW YORK, March 2.-Weakness
in other markets, particularly in that
for United States Government bonds,
put severe strain on stocks today and
they reacted.
At one time stocks we're off as much
as 3 points for important issues, but
right at the c,ose there was a rally
which cut down the decline to very
modest losses.
In part the relatively better perform
ance of stocks and of bonds could be
explained by covering operations That,
however, was not the sole reason. The
market was sustained by the belief that
relief measures were being formulated
adequate to deal with the situation.
Government bonds were weak all day
and so were high-grade corporate is
sues. Here there was no rally at the
end Most commodities were down, the
exception being silver, which in midaft-
ernoon was up so to rs points. Wheat
closed down 5sa34. Sugar reacted rather
sharply after its recent strength, and
cotton locally was depressed. The New
Orleans Cotton Exchange was closed
because of the banking holiday in
Louisiana.
Money rates continued to harden for
the same reasons that made for the
selling of Government bonds, namely,
the drain on the supply from the de-
mands of the interior banks. Foreign
exchanges advanced against the dollar
again, with special strength in sterling.
Prices opened lower and gave way
irregularly throughout the morning,
with losses which, in few cases, ran
to as much as 3 points. And yet it
never could be said that the market was
actually weak. Under the circum-
stances it gave an amazingly good &C
count of itself.
Opinion in speculative circles was
that to sell stocks unless one was forced
TO sell was the heighth of folly and that
to sell short was flirting with disaster.
When financial crisis becomes as
acute as this one has, experience
teaches that the turn is not far away.
When the fear psychology is once con-
quered the rebound is as violent as the
original reaction had been, often
more SO.
The selling in the morning was not
uniformly distributed. U. S. Steel pre-
ferred slipped off to a new 1893 low and
less than points above its bear market
low. American Telephone was off to
3 points. but uD to noon was still above
the low of the week Allied Chemical,
American Can and other pivotal indus
trials were down fractions to points
or so. JOhnS-Manville made a new low.
rejecting the adverse action on the pre-
ferred dividend yesterday. Loews, on
which the dividend was cut to 25 cents
from rs cents quarterly, reacted. In
the railroad list Union Pacific was down
point and Atchison down twice as
much.
The encouraging fact was that the
lower range Of quotations did not bring
out any fresh liquidation. Instead.
prices recovered part Of the loss when
ever the pressure was lifted.
