 Sights Stranded Ship
 An hour later the Limon report ed. sighting the stranded ship. Shortly thereafter the rescue ship wireicssed that 1t Twill be stand ing by with boat crews ready"
 This was interpreted to mean that as soon as the weather mod crates, an attempt would be made to transfer the passengers in small boats.
 Soon after the Limon hove into view, the Dixie's master messaged:
 'The captain sees you okay, but can't transfer passengers now. It's too rough"

 The Dixie was heard to reply: There are two Coast Guard boats on the way"
 The liner evidently was refer ring to the Carabassett and the Saukee, both of which put out for the wreck scene at dawn.

 Dealings started fairly well in inc with hopes of the traders that rise would get under way in more active turnover. However, there was no incentive to follow up the market and it quickly lapsed into lethargy.
 On the decline in sales volume prices slipped back. First the util- ities were depressed, notably the preferred shares. Then selling spread to other sections. A few is- sues stood out against the trend, especially the amusements al- though even the latter gave ground late in the day.
 Bank stocks received a shock in the over-the-counter market when Central Hanover Bank cut it's quarterly dividend from $1.50 to $1 a share. All of the issues broke a point to 25 points for the higher priced issues. The sole representa- tive of the banks on the stock ex- change Corn Exchange Bank Trust Company--was forced down 4 points. Banks of the nation are bulging with funds but in view of the lack of demand for loans their profits are nil. Others are expect ed to follow the lead of a Central Hanover in point of dividend.
 Consolidated Gas of New York broke more than point. Other Utilities also weakened.
 Steel shares lost their snap and yielded a point or more from last Saturdays close. At its low U. S.. Steel was at AZ 5-8 off 1 1-S and
