The market to-day registered a two-pointa decline, which was the 5th, consecutive decline, before being supported.. Scheduled steal opera- tlons were 29.9% of capacity, Some selling has been traced to traders raising funds to pay income taxes and more such selling is expected. It is reported that foreign traders are out of the market, despite the uncertain- iics of European armament costs. Large corporations show high 1937 net incomes, Discouraging factors were the resumption of the weakness of the French inancial position and the Oll Industry's unfavourable Riatistical position.
