A new and more complicated phase of the international sit uation was injected Into today'a heavy stock market. Rumors of a protest by Holland at the proposed commandeering of Dutch ships by this Government formed the basis of heavy selling. Important rails and in dustrials reacted 1 to 3 points and some specialties considerably more, the selling assuming wide dimensions in the final hour. Dealings In the early part, of the session were nominal to the point of insignificance. Many stocks ordinarily classed among the leaders were scarcely quoted until well to ward the close. Canadian Pacific was heavy to weak throughout, extending last week's severe reversal by 3 points. Other tranft continentals, also grsin carriers and coal- era, were down 1 to 24 points with shares 01 eastern roads. Among specialties. American Sumatra to bacco, which may be adversely affected by the Dutch situation, broke 4ht points. Sugars and oils were swept Into the recedincr tide ot ine last nour. yieiaing.2 to points. luiwu oiaiee Bteei was immune from the setback most of the time, but finallv suc cumbed to pressure, scoring an extreme loss ot 114 points. other steela and kindred equipments relinquished mid-day gains of 1 o points, closing at variable net losses. Sales amounted to 485.000 shares. Bunds, both rails and Industrials, were sympathetically depressed, and liberty issues also reacted. Total sales, par value, aggre gated $2,775,000.
