dation Continues

NEW YORK, May 15-R-War
scare selling continued in the oond
market today driving down foreign
issues l to IL points and domest,c
c%orporates lower by fractions 10
around 6 points.
Investment support checked the
decline in some U. S. governments
and generally the federal list was
on frmer ground than yesterday,
at the finish, however. losses pre-
dominated running to 22-32 point
in the treasures.
There were intervals Of resist
ance, particularly when the stock
market swung upward after a
weak opening, but prospective buy
ers showed no inclination for large
commitments because of the con-
tinued unsettled state of financial
markets generally.
Suffering most damage in h e
foreign sector were Queensland rs

Most other overseas groups, in
GLIDING South Americans, also lost
ground sharply. Principal excep-
tons were Japanese government
bonds which rose a point OF more.
Down a point or more in the do
mestic list were International Hy-
Giro Electric IS at So, Armour (Del-
alvarez is of '55 at SO, Delaware
Hudson Refunding rs at At, In
ternational Paper SIS at 1884,

inactive issues fell 3 to 6 points.

NEW YORK COTTON
BY The Associated Press

NEW YORK, May 15.-LR-Prices
in a w%ar-ridden cotton futures mar
ket were undermined today by a
new deluge of foreign and domestic
selling.
Pounded down as much as 40
points at one time, the list came
back enugh to show losses of 23 to
Is at the finish.
Influenced by limit declines at
Liverpool and a break at Bombay,
foreign operators sold lavishly. a
new drop in Chicago wheat and the
morning sell-off in security prices
kept cotton prices glued down.
Around mid-morning a dizzy re-
versal in trend sent the list up to
small net gains. A rally in securi-
ties and wheat checked pressure and
brought in considerable short cover
ing and outside buying.
Profit taking was quickly attracted
and prices went sailing down again.
The late break in wheat kept any
attempts at a rally from getting un-
der way.
Textile activity was slow while
Worth street dealers waited for the
cotton futures market to calm down.
Prices held steady.
