NEW YORK STOCKS

NEW YORK, April IA (UP)-The
stock market today experienced its
widest decline in more than month.
Prices dropped 1 to more than 4
points with volume increasing over
the recent pace.
Wall Street observers ascribed the
drop mainly to bad technical pos
ition.
Selling developed in earnest after
an irregular opening. Toward noon
volume increased to such extent
that tickers could not accommodate
the flow OF quotations. Then the
list quieted and except for sporadic
sallies by bears the afternoon was
uhcventfu!. Some issues made
meager recoveries although supporr
TOR the leaders was lacking in con-
trast with the usual procedure IL
declines in this market.
Bonds sold of with stocks, but
most commodities gained. Wheat
gained ! to ~ cents bushel. Rub
Der made new highs. Sugar futures
rallied smartlY. Cotton lost a few
points. The dollar eased in terms
of gold currencies.
Traders were particularly disap-
pointed with the performance of the
railroad stocks. The rail average
closed last night a fraction under
the years high made on February
20. 1t had been hoped the average
would push through to a new high
and thereby confirm the recent up
turn in the industrials. Rails to-
day led the decline and their weak
ness tended to accelerate trading on
the selling side in other sections.
Atchison, the recent favorite,
dropped nearly 4 points. New York
Central at its low was off more than
more than 3 and losses of more than
a point were noted in Southern Pa
cific and Great Northern.
Autom obile issues were hard hit.
Chrysler, which had been touted to
rise to 110, broke below 100 and at
its lew was down Az points Cen
