NEW YORK, January 26.-Grow-
ing flood damages sapped the stock
markets rallying vitality today, and
with the exception of a handful of
Specialties, prices reacted fractions to
around points.
After an active opening. the volume
dwindled, but fresh selling under
mined the list, near the fourth hour
heavy offerings put the ticker tape
behind for a while.
Stocks prominent on the offside in
cluded General Motors, Chrysler, u. S.
Steel, Crucible, Youngstown Sheet e.
Tube, Montgomery Ward, J. I. Case,
Deere, International Harvester, Louis
vile Gas g. Electric, Kennecott, Amer
ican Smelling, U. S. Smelling, West
inghouse, Continental Can, Du Pont,

Moderately improved at one time
were Hudson Motors, h-Kelvinator,
Western Union, American Water
Works, Texas Corp, Baldwin, Amer

Lone Star Cement, Superior Oil and
Bridgeport Brass.
Slow to retreat were United States
Rubber, Goodyear, American Tele-
phone, Standard Oil of New Jersey,
Atlantic Refining, Consolidated Edison
and American Can.
Automotive issues gave ground re-
luctantly, notwithstanding refusal of
General Motors officials to confer wicl
union leaders on invitation of Secre-
tary of Labor Perkins. The company
indicated a conference would be use
less while sit-down strikers were still
in the plants.
American Smelling took a tumble
when the corporation applied for per-
mission to issue new stock to holders
for the purpose of retiring its prefer
