NEW YORK. Sept. 24.-Rallying
vigor faded from the stock market
today as traders cashed some of
their profits on Mondays sharp
bulge.
While weakness was rare in any
department. and modest plus signs
we're in evidence here and there.
declines of fractions to point or SO
were well distributed at the close.
Overnight buying orders brought
a slight early upturn, but it was
short and prices of leaders
soon began to give ground. Several
attempts to prop the list met with
only half-hearted response.
Activity. pronounced at the open
ing, dwindled later. Transfers APP
proximated 100000 shares. against
nearly 10000 the day before.
The fact the Associated Press
average Of so stocks had been higher
or unchanged in eight successive
sessions, and the swing was climaXed
by one of the best runups yesterday
In nearly three months, apparently
inspired the idea in commission
houses that the advance was due
for at least a temporary halt or
setback
At that, the relative lightness of
offerings was helpful to speculative
sentiment. European war news gen.
orally was considered encouraging
and the domestic business picture re-
manned a sustaining influence for
those leaning to the recovery side.
On the losing end most of the day
were Bethlehem Steel Chrysler,
Douglas Aircraft, Western Union,
Santa Fe. New York Central. Stand
ard Oil of New Jersey, Westinghouse
Du Point, Johns Manville. Eastman
Kodak and Dow Chemical.
Among stocks giving a fairly good
account of themselves were General
Motors, Sears Roebuck. Consolidated
Edison, Phelps Dodge, Kennecott,
American Can and United States
Gypsum.

sons with combined weekly earnings

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Sept. a.
Stockholders of the General Gable

Glass A and common shareholders
had given the requisite two-thirds
support, but preferred stockholders
failed by a few thousand shares OF
providing similar backing.
The plan, first set for action May

cumulative preferred stock for one
share of ~ per cent cumulative pre-
ferred and eight shares of no par
common.
A shareholders suit to enjoin it
was on file here, awaiting decision,
should the plan be adopted.
