NEW YORK, Mar. 20.-The stock
market today suffered its first real
stumble of the month as profit TAX
ing on the lengthy upswing to aver

more than point.

fairly steady opening, and while
scattered gamers among oils and
specialties we're in evidence near the
close, and extreme recessions shaded
In most cases, casualties were wide
spread. Large blocks of low-quoted
|issues-dealings were relatively slow
elsewhere-put volume at around
300 900 shares.
Spot news incentives either way
were lacking and accounts were
trimmed in the majority of in
stances mainly on the idea a tech
nical reaction was in the offing.
Earnings and individual situations
bolstered isolated favorites.

were Bethlehem, Santa Fe Atlantic
