Stock Averages
60 Stock Range Since 1927
By VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Further
complications in foreign affairs
served as the main excuse for an
other sell-off in todays stock
market.
The list slipped at the start, came
back moderately. and dipped again
to the lows of the day in the final
hour when declines ranged from
fractions to around 3 points. Clos
ing quotations were shade above
bottom in some cases.
Dealings were negligible until the
latter part of the proceedings when
activity picked up a bit. Transfers
approXimated 100000 shares.
Touching off the early relapse,
brokers said, was the announcement
of the military and economic agree
ment between Japan and the Rome
Berli naXis which was generally be-
lieved aimed at the United States
The old price-control spectre
made its appearance after midday
in the form Of Washington reports
that the National Defense Advisory
Commission was looking into the
recent upswing Of copper, lead and
zinc prices on the theory increases
were unwarranted by demand
supply prospects.
Occasional StabS at recovery we're
attributed TO the feeling of many
that business betterment was con-
tinuing without abatement and that
stocks had yet to really respond 20
this influence
Prominent shares on the offsida
