Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, April 2-Stocks suf-
fered wide open break of l to or
more points in today's market on the
heels of sharp presidential criticism
regarding soaring prices and produce
ton of durable goods.
Steels and coppers led the down.
slide as Mr. Roosevelt, at his press
conference, pointed especially to these
industries as examples of what he in
dicated was unjustified price-hoisting.
For half an hour the ticker tape
was behind as much as four minutes.
Speculative forces. caught off guard,
dumped holdings promiscuously. The
volume dWindled later, however, and
extreme losses were reduced in many
instances before the close. Transfers
were around 100000 shares.
While Rubber. copper and cotton
futures tumbled with stocks, corn at
Chicago leaped to the best levels in
the past II years, with May contracts
quoted at over l25 a bushel. Wheat
was up Is to 13s. Corn was ahead
Us to 4. The price of lead was low
cred 81 a ton.
In addition to his warning signal on
mounting prices in heavy industries,
the Chief Executive apparently chilled
some of the buying ardor By ANNOUNCE
ing the Government would attempt to
shift recovery and relief expenditures
for durable materials to consumers
products in order to spread the ma
tlonal income more evenly.
Depressing to the financial sector
also was an early drop in U. S. Gov
ernment securities, although these
came back il the afternoon. Con-
tinued upsets in the automotive field
and the walkout of 100000 soft coal
miners pending adjustment of wage
and hour questions also tended to
accentuate market unsettlement.
