The railroad snare, were nicnln about tlie only stocks able to hold ground In today's stock market. Almott every other brunch of the Hnt, during the forenoon especially, I iiifferprf further Impairment of prlcon. The continued dribbling liquidation nnd I professional selling wns again without I'rfinlti explanation In o far as direct ' new or developments were concerned. 1 A lot of Interesting stories were nlloat J nnd mnny titiiiii theories were nd i vanced for the unchecked me. tins of M-cuilM values. The two outstanding features, however, were, first, the con spicuously anemic condition of the mar let nnd, Kcconrfl.v, the luck of buj lug power. In some nunrtcrs Hie Mtpplnz condi tion of the market wan charged to en forced liquidation of the holdings of thoce responsible for the orgy In 1010. llv others it wns traced to growing un certalntlcH concerning the dividends of several prominent Industrial concerns. In fact, the name doubt prevails as to the entire industrial division. The di rectors of ono lnd'ixtrlal corporation which piled up fabulous profits (luting the wnr period are expected to pass thp umimm dividend on Tliurmlny. Then thete wan some disappointment In the tax-revision program. In its weakened technical position, the entire li"t vvus more or less susceptible to selling pressure. About the only en couraging development was the over whelming bearish sentiment and the un mistakable overcrowding of the bear ranks. It p-ohably would be no exag geration to stnto that more than 00 per cent of the traders operntlng, profes sinnnl and semi-professlounl are ar rayed on the short side. Experience has shown what happens when either side of the following gets top heavy nnd this appears to be the sole salvation of the current market. In other words, unless surface signs are misleading, an iiveisoid condition is being rapid! np pronched. Wlille there wns nothing particularly disconcerting in the news or develop ments to account for the heaviness of the market, on the other hand, there wns the same dearth of influential de menti to inspire adherents to the con- ! structive side. The gcnernl characteristics of tho mar let verj stionglj suggebted the awaiting of the settlement of some unsolved prob em. Just what this was cverj one re mained In the dark. There were In timations, however, ot n very Important . conference being held ut which the fu- ttire destinies of n prominent financinl institution would be decided upon. It I is only fair to state there were no nctuul facts to substantiate this statement, but I certnin conditions nnd fncts which hnve long oven the knowledge of some of the better-informed placed it In the category 'f po-sibllitv. ! Selling of all the active speculative issues wns resumed at the opening and prices continued to yield all during the morning session. Little bupport wut irecn except in the high-grade rails am' industrials. Bethlehem nnd Crucible SteelB were heavy, and losses of 1 to 4 I ,iolnts resulted from moderate offerings of American Steel Foundries, Hallway , Steel Springs. Pressed Steel Car.

"It Is intcreting." he said, "to note thnt tho student who organized our orchestra had previously been leader of the special jazz orchestra." Furthermore Dr. French said that he failed to observe any tendency to ward impropriety at the university co tillons.
