was greeted with a brisk rally but
it proved to be short lived as a
renewal of selling pressure against
the meiThandising. public utility
issues, and high priced specialties,
turned the general course of prices
downward around midday.
A further sharp falling off in
freight car traffic, appointment of
equity receivers for the Submarine
Boat Corporation, the passing of
the American Cigar dividend and
the revelation of large losses by
investment trusts during the October-November
break all contribut
ed the bearish stock market
sentiment.
Upward tendencies were re
sumed for a time in the afternoon
when New York Central, 1'ublic
Service of New Jersey, General
American Tank, United Aircraft,
and Newton Steel mounted 2 to 5
points, but the whole list turned
downward later In sympathy with
a rapid decline in Fox Film A and
U. S. Steel. Fox. which had risen
to 2.1 5-8 In the morning, crashed
to 17, the lowest price mi record,
following an announcement . by
counsel for the class A stork hold-

j for the corporation "must be re-sorted
to at once In order to pro
