New York, November 30. - (UP) - Stocks receded to new lows since September IA this week in sharply reduced volume. Bonds sagged and commodities moved irregularly.
 Business continued to move to new tops, but uncertainties over the European situation, higher taxes, and the trend here toward genuine war economy produced incentive to sell stocks.
 Talk that Britain was nearing the end of its financial resources led to discussion of possibility of repeal of the Johnson act to allow loans to Britain. Wall Street said this was an adverse influence on the market especially because Britain owns many American securities and may be forced to liquidate them without waiting for a good market, as it has done recently.
 Reflecting a generally depressed feeling in financial circles, two Stock Exchange memberships sold this week at $33 ,OO0, new low since 1899.
 Utility shares were hard hit. Their average made a new low since June IA and two leading issues - Con- solidated Edison and Public Service of New Jersey - made new lows for the year.
 Steel shares failed to respond to retention of an operating rate Of

 Automobile issues dipped in the face of week of production never witnessed at this time of year. The output topped 128,O00 passenger cars and trucks, against 102,000 a week ago.
 The Christmas shopping season began in earnest and retail sales jumped to levels eight to ten per cent over those of a year ago. It was predicted that 1940 physical VOL tune of sales will break all records for the season.
 Electricity output dipped for the week ended last Saturday because of the Thanksgiving Day holiday. Coal production eased for the same req son. Car loadings declined, but the decline was less than seasonal.
 Despite favorable business news, all sections of the market joined the decline. An interesting tendency in commodities was a recession in futures prices of commodities par alleled by a rise in spot prices.
