New York, Mar. 16.
Prices in the stock market today slid sharply lower under nervous liquidation precipitated by reports of the increased tension in Central Europe, losses ranging up to three dollars or more over a wide front. The turnover totalled, 1,110,000 shares. While trade news continued generally favourable; sentiment was nervous and continued irregularity was considered probable pending settlement of the latest European imbroglio. Barring further adverse developments, however, it was generally believed the underlying tendency remained upward and that eventual resumption of the advance was likely—Reuter.
