WALL STREET § SUFFERS FROM AVERAGE DROP Break of 3.47 Points ‘Most Sweeping Setback in Years.’

Average Stock Prices

Average pries of twenty industrial stocks for Tuesday was 150.98, off 0.47. Average price of twenty rails for Tuesday was 107.15. off .81. Bit United Pres* NEW YORK, March 2. —Monday’s break of 3.47 points in Bcw-Jones industrial average was one of the most sweeping setbacks recorded in the stock market in recent years. It brought the compilation down to 130.98, a loss of close to 12 points, in less than three weeks. This rapid decline was considered by most observers to have resulted in the elimination of the greater part of weak speculative accounts, and many leading stock exchange houses predicted a rally after some hang-over liquidation had been cleaned up in the early dealings. Expectation of a recovery was heightened by the knowledge that additional steps had been taken by strong financial interests to remove impaired holdings from the hands of fcools. Asa result the general list "bowed a better balance at the start of trading. Rallying tendencies were checked in the late morning by the liquidation of heavy lines of stock, bought for the purpose of supporting the market against yesterday’s selling. This development encouraged professional operators to assume their bearish attacks and new lows on the movement were forced in several industrial leaders. General Electric broke 5Va points to 326; Dupon 4, to 213; United Drug 714. to 138, and American Smelting 2, to 127.

On the other hand there are no important signs as yet of a revival In refiners demand, which is the thing that the trade has been counting upon the last few davs. It is reported, however, that the invisible supplies of raw sugar have dwindled So far as new business has been concerned lately there has been little change. Prices have been stationary and sales have been moderate. Local Wagon Wheat Indianapolis mills and grain elevators ire paying $1.63 for No. '1 red wheat. Other grades on their merits.

Hog prices dropped 5 to 20 cents while calves closed 50 cents to $1 lower. At the start of the session in the hog division of the Exchange, local packers bid 20 cents lower and the shippers bid 10 cents lower. The shippers took the bulk of the hogs as a result of their higher bid. Extreme light and extreme heavy weight material received the largest slice while the medium grades were cut 5 and 10 cents on the hundred pounds. Receipts were estimated at 7,000 hogs, and 347 holdovers from the initial session of the week were added to the total fresh supply. The top price of $13.75 was placed on light weight porkers. The bulk of the matured stuff meflved to the scales at prices ranging from $12.35 @13.50. This quotation, represented a loss of 10 cents. Hog Price.
