Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, March 26.-Special-
ties again stood up in today's stock I.
market while the general run Of
leaders continued to display rising
reluctance.
A relapse of the British "free"
pound sterling to the lowest level
on record in terms of the old gold
dollar was a bearish influence on
the list. In addition, scant inspira-
ton could be found in business news
or European war developments.
Consequently, what speculative nib
bling appeared was highly selective.
The French franc and Belgian
belga trailed sterling on its slide
and aroused thoughts of a slap at
this country's export trade if un-
settlement in the foreign exchange
situation persists.
There were scattered gamers of a
point or so and some encouragement
was found in the fact that declines,
for the most part, we're in small
fractions at the close.
Flurries of activity cropped up now
and then. but slowdowns were plen-
tiful. Transfers approximated ESQ.,
600 shares.
A handful of aircraft manufacture
ing stocks edged forward Among
these were Douglas, Lockheed and
Curtlss- Wright "A
Beverage issues stepped into the
limelight, with new 1910 tops being
posted for Loft, Crown Cork, White
Rock and National Distillers. Re-
sistant were Canada Dry, Bruns-
wick Bake, Sears-Roebuck, Stand
ard Oil of New Jersey and American
Can.
Behind the greater part of the
day were U. S. Steel, Chrysler, U. S.
Rubber. Montgomery Ward, N. Y.
Central, American Air Lines, United
Air Lines, Pan-American Airways,
Anaconda, South Porto Rico Sugar.
Allied Chemical and Union Carbide.
