Your HOROSCOPE

FRIDAY, MARCH 81, 1947-As
this is the turning point of the
year. so is it turning point of
destiny. 1t is a critical day, and
it generally produces persons of
considerable eminence. There is
a strain of egoism; the mind is
trained on high things, but there
is a rigid, unbending strain that
should be watched carefully. All
the characteristics of the day are
good ones, in moderation.

NEW YORK, April 14.-Heaviest
selling Of the year knocked over
down to 8 points with the market
with the averages hitting a new low
since last November.
The list was weak from the start
with motors, steels, rubbers, rails
and wide assortment of industrials
under pressure. A mild midday
comeback failed to attract many ad-
herents and the slide soon was re-
sumed.
The ticker tape was late for a
brief interval when pivotals stiff
fened. There was a subsequent
showdown then activity picked up
briskly as virtually all departments
resumed the retreat.
Bottom levels ruled for the ma
jority of issues near the fourth hour
Dealings were at better than a
