TREND DISTURBED
BY LATE SELLING
Associated Press Average OF
SO Stocks Posts Decline
Of 2 OF Point
By FREDERICK GARDNER

NEW YORK, Jan. O. Up The
stocl, market today stepped into 1941
With a decided limp.
While gains of fractions to a point
81, so were fairly we'll distributed,
late selling of steels and motors was
an unset1line factor and early ad-
,lLces IN other departments were
,eluced or cancelled.
The Associated Press average of
50 stocks posted a net decline of 9
of 2 point at 43.7. sFour successive
~nre.holiday upturns had been re-
corded.
Dealings were exceptionally slug
fish. although volume picked up
briefly in the final hour when prices
we're fading. Transfers Totalled ST.
40 shares compared with 1,O73,O7O
Tuesday.
Many potential buyers stood aside,
Mrokers said, because of their in
ability to determine possible later
market repercussions of the Federal
Reserve boards authorization recon-
~mendations to congress. S m e
THOUGHT the program would prove
deflationary if it goes through.
Others wanted to see whether the
President would approve the sus-
,ested fiscal revisions. In addition,
Wall Street was inclined to await
The chief executives annual mes
saoes on national problems and the
budget.
The question whether this country
vould Get in the wal continued to
mersnadow business optimism.
Announcement a stable amount of
British-oWned American securities
had been l%iquidated was noted moder-
ately reassuring but some wondered
ii much of these offerings had not
been taken by syndicates and would
remain as a market burden.
Steels and motors were believed
TO have been depressed partly by
Inc u llSSt 1lluuSlllcS SfSll-
tually may be among the first to
feel the imposition of defense prior
ity restrictions.
Helpful were estimates last weeks
freight ioadings were off less than
seasonal. Latest heavy construction
awards were up sharply over 1889
figures for the eighteenth consecu-
tive week.
Universal pictures preferred jump
ed 7 points to another new high on
top of its 11-point climb Tuesday.
ONLY 10 shares of the issue changed
hands.
Chrysler lost 2 ga and General
Motors 2 IA. Less casualties were
suffered by U. S. Steel, Bethlehem,
L. S. Rubber, Anaconda, Mont
somery Ward, Westinghouse and Du
Pont.
Finishing ahead were Douglas Air
craft, United Aircraft, N. Y. Central,

PAINTED FURNITURE is by
no means a recent fashion. On
the contrary, it is one of the
oldest forms Of decoration. There
still exists a few fine examples
of painted Egyptian furniture
and the museums are filled with
the work of Dutch, Chinese,
French. English and early AMER
lean craftsmen.
Some of their work was de-
signed originally for salon use,
but more familiar to most of us
are the peasant styles so APP
propriate for todays informal
rooms.
On the market are various
peasant adaptations from which
to choose, but none is more
charming than the style derived
from early Californian furnish
ings. Not strictly a peasant
style. ii does have. however, the
handmade, craft look about it
which blends so well with the
typical ranch house architec-
ture characteristic of old Monte

Take Your Choice

Much of the early Californian
furniture was painted to enrich
the surface. Since the original
decorative influences were Span
ish, the motifs were largely
Baroque in character. This, COM
bined with the native Indian
motifs, gave distinction to the
style and a robust quality ap-
pealing TO many today.
Painted pieces may be pur-
chased in stores featuring in
formal furnishings or they may
be had implanted and ready for
your hand to become decorative
assets to your home. The latter
choice is by far the most inter-
esting for most. because you
are limited in color and design
only by your own Imagination.
Prepared paint may be pur-
chased in a great variety of col
ors, but there are times when
the exact shade you want will
have to be mixed. The rules for
mixing are simple. They consist
chiefly in knowing what effect
one color will have on another
when mixed together.
Prepared Pigments
Usually. the best advice Is to
begin with a color as near the
desired hue as possible then add
whatever is necessary to change
it's character. Say you want a
dull blue-green. Begin with
green and add enough blue TO
get the right color. This can
