STOCKS RECEDE FURTHER TODAY IN UNEVEN LIST Trading Quiet, Prices Drift Aimlessly in Opening of Market.

Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty industrials Monday was 201.96, off 3.79. Average of twenty rails was 134 15. off 2.12. Average of forty bonds was 97.14, off .01. Bn United Press NEW YORK, June 19. —No further recessions from Monday’s slows were made in early stock market dealings today although prices continued to move in a highly irregular manner around their previous closing levels. Trading was again quiet and prices drifted aimlessly. Strong support, however, came into industrial leaders after the opening and small gains were scored by such stocks as General Motors, American Can and U. S. Steel, the latter issue being turned in large blocks at its low of the year before advancing. Special issues like Radio, Wright and Montgomery Ward all receded moderately, while Crucible Steel fell 3 points following announcement of the cutting of the dividend late Monday. Other steels were influenced by this action, small recessions being scored by Central Alloy and Bethlehem. Motor shares were generally lower despite strength in the leader. Fractional losses were established throughout the group in the first few minutes of trading. Hupp, Hudson, Chrysler and Studebaker were under severe pressure. Averages Down Describing the market, the Wall Street Journal’s financial review today said: “Monday’s break carried the DowJones Industrial averages to new low ground on the reaction at 201.92, compared with 202.5 at last Tuesday’s close. This failure of the leading industrials to hold above the previous levels of resistance added to the confidence of bearish professionals and operations for the decline were pushed with increasing confidence in the early dealings. “At the same time, the market was forced to absorb liquidation of a necessitious character and as a result the market opened under severe pressure and further declines took place in the principal speculative issues.” Recovery in Progress Around noon the market took on the appearance of an oversold list and a recovery was in progress in nearly all groups. Radio advanced four points frorh its low of the day to 15614, off 2*2 points from its low, and Johns Manville after touching anew low for the year at 96*4, off 494, rose to 99, off two points net. General Electric moved up Vz point above the pre\Hous close to 144, Sears Roebuck gained 1 1 2 points net to 10294, while gains were made by Wright and Curtiss, Consolidated Gas. Montgomery Ward and American Linseed. Call money continued firm with banks withdrawing large sums to meet month-end requirements. The rate advanced to 6 per cent in the early afternoon after renewals had been arranged at 5*2 per cent.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, June 19.—Monday’s market with its inactivensss during most of the day and which was followed by a sharp break on limited volume, gave you and us, who have been discussing its inherent weakness, a glimpse behind the scenes. We hardly think it necessary to point out specific instances of weakness; plenty of them are in evidence, enough at any rate to satisfy most of us that the final reckoning has not yet taken place. Even overnight news tends to disappoint for the amazingly small reduction in members loans with the Federal Reserve is made negligible through intrests and dividend requirements coming due. It is very evident to us that a great deal remains to be done to reduce the strain on the credit situation and as it appears useless to expect a change in the reserve board’s demand for credit adjustmnt, the policy of liquidation remains.

Pn United Press DETROIT, June 19.—The United States remains one of the most needed fields for missionary work. Dr. Frank A. Smith of New York, secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, told tha Northern Baptist convention today. “After a century and a half of religious development,” he said, “there still are unoccupied fields and areas and many people close a& hand unchurched and unsheparded. “In the rural sections of the West there are entire counties without praching station and no denomination is assuming responsibility for their evangelization. Every Church a Mission “And in the small towns and large cities, too frequently’, the attitude of the American church is one of complacent exclusiveness. Every pastor should be a missionary. Every church a mission station. There are many foreigners mixed in with the American population, who would be glad to listen to the true gospel.” Smith said there were ten thousand Indians in five areas in northern California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Montana, which had been allocated by other evangelical bodies to the northern Baptist for conversion. He urged that tha church provide the missions necessary. Selection of the next convention city, expected to be Boston, and election of officers for the ensuing year, will take place Wednesday. Officers Nominated Officers nominated today, and practically assured of election were;' President of the Northern Baptist conference, A. M. Morris, New York, succeeding W. C.
