NEW YORK, Dec. 17 (A3)
Nervous selling upset the stock
market's balance today and losses
In the Industrial leaders ran from
fractions, to 2 or more points,
Bonds shaded lower,
While the freer offerings were
attributed in part to fears over
the fate of Singapore and other
British strongholds in the Far
East under Japanese attack, the
pressure at no time was compar
able to that which weighed so
. heavily upon list in the early
days of last week. Transactions
totaled about l.zoo.uuu snares.
Steels, motors, rubbers and
. aircrafts led the retreat, num
erous issues recorded new lows
for the year. Final prices were
around the bottoms.
. American Telephone dropped
nearly 5 points to a 1941 low.
Other stocks reaching low ground
for a year or more included Gen
eral Motors, Chrysler, U. S. Rub
ber, Goodyear, Montgomery
Ward, Sears Roebuck, and Amer
ican Can. Among the losers
were Douglas Aircraft, U. S.
Steel, Bethlehem, Westlnghouse,
and Du Font.
' American Sugar was an iso
lated firm spot, responding to
the announcement of a $2 year-
end dividend.
Shares of the rubber com
panies were handicapped by
word from Washington that OPM
officials had ordered extended
until the first week in January
the ban on manufacture and sale
of tires and tubes except to fill
top defense orders. The original
ruling, effective Dec. 11, was to
have expired Dec Z3.

CHICAGO, Dec. 17 VP) A
drop of more than 2 cents
bushel in wheat prices at one
time today measured the mar
ket's reaction to disclosure of
government plans for eventual
disposal of approximately 170,-
000,000 bushels of 1939-40 grain
it ownj.
Although prices at which fed
eral stocks will be offered for
sale are above present open mar
ket quotations, indicating that
little, if any, wheat can be dis
posed of unless there is an ad
vance. Traders said the plan
has the effect of placing a sort
of ceiling on the market. Furth
ermore, the effect of this pro
gram on producers' plans to hold
1841 wheat under government
loans is uncertain, traders said.
Late short covering, prompted
partly by Secretary Wickard's
opposition to suggestions that
restrictions on 1942 wheat acre
age be removed, rallied prices to
some extent.
Wheat closed 11-Hc lower
than yesterday, December
$1,231, May $1.26-1.261; corn 1c
higher to Ic lower, December
781c, May 831-lc; oats 1c lower
