munition provided partly by Wash
ington news, selling forces today
blasted stock market leaders for losses
of 1 to more than 7 points in one
of the sharpest onslaughts in about
a year.
Many new lows for 1937 or longer
wore registered in an exciting early
downturn when the high-speed ticker
tape at times fell 4 minutes or so be
hind floor dealings.
Offerings dried up somewhat at in
tervals and extreme declines were
j shaded moderately. Momentum again
! picked up on the downside in the
final half hour.
Wall Street’s attack of nerves fol
lowed advices from the Capital indi
cating a move by the administration
to tighten monopoly laws as one means
of putting brakes on an inflationary
boom in commodity and other prices.
Heed was also paid to the President'!
warnings on public stock speculation
and the dangers of spiraling living
costs.
Further liquidation by London and
continental houses badly burned by
slumping staples was seen as a factor
in the setback..
Transfers approximated 2.500,000
i shares.
Share declines were distributed over
a broad front, with United States Steel
