NEW YORK Oct. 1.-THE stock mar
ket spent a bad half a day up to noon
but during the latter part OF the day a
little better spirit showed itself and there
was some recovery. There was a VERT
able slaughter of values amongst the in
dustrials during the morning, and it was
very evident that the disfaYor caused by
the developments last week in the United
States Shipbuilding receivership case was
still an active force in the market. In
dustrial stocks were sold at violent de-
clines without apparent INSTRUMENTATION.
just as they were bought during the period
of prosperity in the stock promotion pro-

1t is not to be supposed that all of the
present sellers of these securities, how
ever, received their first enlightenment
from the Shipbuilding muddle of the pro-
cesses employed in the promotion and I'M
derwriting Of industrial stocks during the
last few years. capitalization, over
valuation of constituent companies and
market manipulation by managers for in
side pools have been fagrantly in evil
dence and have been persistently pointed
out from the outset of the present era of
expansion. But it was evident that the
speculative public was not being deferred
from buying the stocks by these disclos-

The sentiment in the wheat pit was de-
