Market AVERAGES

other. Selling forced prices down
now and again but at the close
the market showed new vitality
and prices headed upward.
Today the general tendency was
upward most of the two-hour
session, with particular attention
paid to radio-television and meat
packing shares. Shortly before
noon, however, the market had a
new sinking spell and a good
many earlier gains were wiped out.
Wall Street showed a surprising
lack of concern over the Thurs
day plunge. ofit-taking after
a long rise was regarded as in
evitable, and was expected to con-
tinue because many traders who
bought last summer can cash in
after a six-month lapse and avoid
a high tax rate.
Looking ahead. the financial
district saw new rise. 1.-THE set
back may be viewed as a passing
incident in an important long

dropped to 71.6 from 70 a week

Stock Market Takes
Worst Beating in
More Than Year
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-The
stock market took its worst beat
ing in more than year this week
and at the week end was still on
the defensive.
On Thursday seven-month-
old bull market fell fiat on its
face. Like a tropical storm, a
burst Of selling appeared out of
nowhere and knocked down prices
right and left.
The next day, groggy but with
plenty of fight left, the market
weathered another battering in
good style.
Today last minute selling
squalls drove the market off q
steady course.
The net loss for the week ap-
preached $1,5OO,oOO,OOo, almost
all of which was taken in the
last hour of trading on Thursday
The break in prices on Thurs
day caused little surprise in the
financial district, although its
speed and suddenness did. What
surprised Wall Street more than
anything was the fact that it had
not happened sooner.
Rise Followed June Drop.
Back on June IA prices crashed
to the lowest level in AZ years
Ever since then the market has
advanced without running into
serious opposition. In seven
months the price level curved UP
to the highest point since August
1916, point reached the day be-
fore this weeks upset. A look at
past records indicated turn was
overdue.
Thursdays market, most of the
day, pretty much followed the
familiar pattern. Trading was
active, prices huctuated in a frac-
tional range.
Around 2 o'clock Thursday the
storm hit. Orders to sell flooded
into the exchange from all over
the country.
The ticker tape, glutted with
declining prices, ran late. The
exchange was forced to use its
system of flash" quotations to
give traders an idea of what was
happening.
In the last hour alone 1,350,o0O
shares of stock changed hands.
Prices dropped 81 to SO and more
O share.
There was no news to account
for the intensity of the selling nor
the abrupt withdrawal of buying
support. But many investors and
spectators, tense and skittish
over the markets behavior, were
keyed up to action at the first
sign Of weakness in prices.
The market found bottom
almost as quickly as it had
dropped. In the last fifteen min
utes or so, scale-down buying Or
ders as well as other demand had
its effect.
Selling Struck Again.
On Friday the market was hit
by one wave of selling after an
