Past Week On Market By Stanley W. Prenosil -New York, Oct. 19. (AP) The stock market went through another sharp downward readjustment of prices this week which carriea many of the public utility issues below tlte low prices established in the early October break. While the decline was widely regarded as a correction of a top-heavy speculative position, created in the brisk rally of the preceding fortnight, the selling movement received; considerable Impetus from unfavorable developments in the week's news.

These Included reports of a further recession in steel output, a falling off In freight car loadings and an unexpectedly large Increase, of $88,000,000 in Federal Reserve brokers' loans to within $3,000,000 of the record high. Otuside the stock market, chief financial interest centered in a hardening of prices for high-grade bonds, coincident with a marked relaxation in money rates; sharp reactions in some of the leading commodity market, and the establishment of new high levels for the year by the Britieh, French and Dutch currencies in the foreign exchange market. Weakness of public utility securities was due, in jart, to the decision of the Massachusetts Public Utility Commission denying application of the Boston Edison Company for permission to split up its stock. on a four-for one basis, and the report of a special committee Of the Investment Brankers Association urging careful discrim ination In the purchase of public utility securities on the ground many were overpriced. Many of the power and liprht stocks had been- selling from .40 to 140 times current; Steel shares sold off sharply on the announcement that steel; mill production had fallen below; the level of the corresponding period last year, and that shipments to automobile manufacturers were at the lowest levels in 18 months.

Motor shares were again under pressure on the disclosure that earnings of some of leading companies had fallen well below last year despite the increased number of units sold. Oils showed a tendency to move against the current trend with buying influenced by the decrease in crude production, the promulgation of a new restrictive production law in Oklahoma, and by the. fact that there had been relatively little in flation in that group during the recent bull market. Rails offered fairly good resistance to selling pressure because of the excellent earnings of the leading carriers in the first nine months of the year, and rumors of special dividend vor other developments in such, issues' as New Haven, Erie and Missouri Pacific. RECORD OF WEEK'S FAILURES The insolvency record compiled R.

G. Dun shows a decided improvement this week over returns for year agu. nus, failures numbering 359 campare with 480 In corresponding week of 1928, reductions occurring in all geographical sections. The decreases range from 12 in the West to 62 in the East. With the smaller aggregate of defaults, those involving more than $5,000 of liabilities in each case fell to 212 this week, from 278 a year ago.

Numbering 35, Canadian Insolvencies this week compare with 51 reported to R. G. Dun a year ago. FOOD INDEX LOWER Bradstreet's Food Index Number for this week is $3.25, the lowest of the year and compares with $3.26 last week, $3.27 two weeks ago, and $3.34 for the week ending Oct. 18.

(AP) The drastic decline in stock prices, Which has been under way most of the week, culminated in a violent fetorm.of 'selling during today's two-hour session, carrying the day's turnover to approximately 3,000,000 shares, a huge volume for Saturday. Prices of scores of leading issues were depressed from five to 25 points, and many broke through the low levels reached in the break earlier in the month. After a heavy opening, powerful banking support was thrown into the market for a time, but it soon withdrew before the onrush of celling. Todays decline contrasted sharply the previous drops this which were accompanied by dull trading, the turnover for the five full five-hour sessions averaging about 3,300,000 shares. jThis morning's drop gave evidence Of a -thorough cleaning out of Weakened marginal accounts and the first real public liquidation of the week.

Strong bearish operations were in evidence, and wild rumors were circulated to the effect that a powerful bull operator was in difficulty although they were promptly and emphatically denied in responsible The day's news included the overnight announcement of the passing of the dividend on United Cigar Preferred, and the Stock Exchange announcement that the ratio of member borrowings to the total market value of listed stocks during September to the high est level of the year, both rather unsetumgr developments. Several stocks reached new lows, Including General Motors, United Corporation and United Gas- Improvement. Auburn Auto, rather jmercurial issue, tumbled 25 points. States Steel was supported for a time, but soon turned down ward and sold off more than 3 points. Such Issues as Westinghouse Electric, General Electric, Ameri can Telephone, Consolidated Gas, Western Union, American Tobacco, American Can, North American, American and Foreign Power, Eastman Kodak, Montgomery- Ward, Simmons, Atchison and '-Union Carbide dropped 5 to 13 points.

The market rallied a little under short covering in the closing trans sections, but was distinctly weak. 1 Paroled Here I Thisge Men to i Be Deported 5 Three nmates of the State formatory were released in custody I today for deportation.
