8. Financial Editor. New York, April 10 The forward movement in the industrial leaders and specialty stocks encountered considerable opposition today In the form of profU-uklng and professional selling, the latter being encouraged by th heavv calling on loans by the New York banks and the gradual scaling down of the loan valuations of stocks that have led the skyward movement in recent weeks. Stock experts were generally of the oDlnlon that there was considerable liquidation of General Motor, United State Steel and other market atandbya under cover of strength In the new specialities, but there was of course no evidence that such was the cose. General Motors withstood the Shock of a heavy concentration of profession al selling In th first four hour.

Though trading was to large volume in this period, only slightly below yesterday's record, the mechanism of the market was so wall handled that the ticket feu behind only a zew minutes and close communications were maintained with the floor of the exchange The market displayed remarkable recuperative power, particularly to the stocks under pool control. Anaconda held firmly around 70. down about 2H from th peak of tbe move, and Schulte waa well supported around 64. Radio dropped abruptly to to the lourtn hour, louowmg wnicn a neavy selling wave passed over the market forcing prices to the lowest levels of the day.
