thinnest market in months deVeI-
oped today as prices again slump
ed on the stock exchange
Wide ranges appeared between
hid and asked prices and there
were times when it was difficult
TO sell stocks. so few were the Oh
fers
This accounts for the small VOL
ume Of trading. Only 100000 shares
were exchanged today and the
close was irregularly lower. The
Dow Jones utility average went TO
q new low since 1885. Steel shares
slipped and the remainder OF the
list showed extreme irregularlty.
Events in Washington were be-
hind this lack of buying interest,
traders said. Reports from abroad
said London traders were regain
ing confidence and feel that Am
erican stocks are cheap at present
levels.
The chief concern in London
was over the gold situation. Fears
of a reduction in the American
buying price brought a collapse IN
values a fortnight ago. London
traders were represented as feel
ing that something must be done
to bring a better alignment in cur
rencieS and as a result they heSl-
tated TO buy here.
The gold price and monetary
problem is vital here. but there
are other factors such as:
1-Outcome Of the supreme
court issue.
2-Legislation which will affect
industry. This includes the ma
tional power program. the econo-
my program and possible moves
to adjust hours and wages.
3-PoSsibility of some upward
adjustment of margin require
ments for stock trading. The price
slump was in line with President
Roosevelts anti-Speculation an
nouncementS and also his desire
for lower prices. However, anoth-
er spectacular advance in prices
could logically bring the margin
increase even to 100 per cent.
The magazine Iron Age said to-
day there wa a more hopeful bus
mess outlook than recently al
though strikes are disturbing. The
decline in new business was not 50
great as anticipated and the
heavy backlogS are likely to carry
over into the third quarter. Pro-
