STOCKS EASE OFF !
| SLIGHTLY FOR DAY
Most of Gains Maintained
and Volume DWindIes
on Reactions.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, September 12-It was
about all that the stock market could
do today to hold the gains established
yesterday.
The close was a shade lower, but
in the main the market gave a good
account Of itself. 1t was most active
when prices were advancing and turned
dull on the reactions.
The burden of sustaining the adj
vance rested on the motor and the oil
stocks. Toward the close there was
q little better demand for the sugar
shares, but the steels. rails, utilities
and general industrials shaded prices
In the last hour.
Dollar Weakens.
The dollar was weaker against both
the non-gold and the gold curencies
all day, but trading was not active.
Wheat left of 1ls to ~ cents a BUSH
el lower. That market went through a
somewhat similar series of fluctuations
to those in stocks.
The market opened active and strong
In the first hour the turnover was
nearly three times as large as in ths
preceding session and prices were higheI
all around. Then followed a period
Of profit taking, with fractional reces.
sions from the highs. but on this re.
action volume fell off and. everything
considered, the market gave a gooJ
account of itself.
The automobile stocks were the lead
erS today. They had the background
OF favorable trade advices and they re.
sponded readily to operations for tht
rise. The features were Chrysler ant
General Motors, both of them at nev
highs, the former over $50 and tn,
latter over $35 a share. 1t was sug.
gested that the attitude of Henry Fort
toward the N. R. A. might prove ad'
vantageous to his competitors.
Next to the motors, the oils vert
Jersey was the leader, likewise at tht
highest Of the year.
Gold List Depressed.
The repeal stocks had to absorb Of.
ferlngs by traders who felt that theJ
had discounted the result in Maine. Fol
the most part, however, they held thei,
ground well. with National Distillers u
the greatest demand Elsewhere in thi
list Eastman Kodak registered a gain
Of 2 or 3 points. Allied Chemical wal
up a point, but came down afterward
and the rubber and tire stocks ex.

The gold mining shares were de.
pressed by the drop in the price o
gold in London. The quotation ther,
was 127 shillings pence per ounce
against 128 shillings 91a pence Monday
and the lowest of the present move.

OF 131 shillings pence. OF courst
what this meant was that the poune
