Weak ness abroad led to general selling nnd tonr hammering In the local market, nnd It soon became evident that there was not enough support to prevent Decemtor running through 9c to 8.94, which represented a de cline of 30 (mints from yesterday's high level. There was the usual ahort covering on the break, and the market rallied 54i6 points, only to have trading become dull, nnd, later on, prices slipped off again.
