MARKET SLIP S
TO Low LEVELS
THROUGH LIS 7.
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, March % U.N.S0
The stock market turned down,
ward today with leaders slipping a
point or more.
SteelS, motors, rails and oils
led the reaction, which quickly
spread throughout the list. West
inghouse Electric broke 112 points
between sales on a drop of close
to 4 points into new low ground.
An early feature was the re
covery of about 2 points each in
Howe Sound, U. S. Smelling and
American Smelling, as President
Cardenas of Mexico stated last
weeks appropriation of oil prop
critics would not be extended to
other industries in Mexico.
Fractional gains in Bethlehem
and U. S. Steel were converted
into losses of about point in the
steels. Chrysler in the motors
turned in similar performance,
while General Motors slipped al
most a point.
Case dropped 2 in the farm i'm
plements, Johns-Manville in the
building section and DUPONT in
the chemicals slightly more, and
Coca-Cola almost 3.
Chesapeake and Ohio lost a
point to new low in a weak mar
ket for carriers. Santa Fe also
dropped a point, closely followed
by Pennsylvania, Southern Pacific,
Great Northern and Union Pacific.
