Stock Prices Decline
Fractions 10 Point
In Sluggish Trading
BY the Assoeiated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-A soggy
decline today carried the stock
market down moderately.
There was no pressure and
losses were held mostly to frac-
tions, with the most extensive
decline going a little past a point.
The volume of business was
moving at a rate that would have
difficulty pushing beyond the
million-share mark, a difficulty
encountered by the market all
this week.
Railroads were the great and
strong favorites yesterday and
just about single-handedly tipped
the market over to the upside.
But today the carriers were
sluggish in an unchanged to
lower trend. There were some
early plus signs, but these soon
disappeared.
The Interstate Commerce Com

the roads a mail rate increase oil

going ahead slowly and carefully
because the first redevelopment
project in the National Capital is
being watched closely by many
municipalities.
The planning commission, which
ends its monthly session late to-
day, approved minor charges in
the taking lines of private prop
critics in Arlington County for
Units 3 and 4 of the George
Washington Memorial Parkway.
These are scattered pieces of land
from the Spout Run terminal to
the Fairfax County line.
The approval, if concurred in
by the Arlington County Board,
should end uncertainty for prop
erty owners, who have had no
definite assurances for months
just how the taking lines will af-
feet their premises.
Mr.. Nolen said the taking lines
in Arlington County would permit
