Bic BREAK MARKS
CLOSE Of TRADING
Wall Street Market Is Badly
Demeralized by Existing
Financial Conditions.
STOCKS ARE UNL0ADED
WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION
Advance in Bank of EngIand's S
Rate and Inroad on Surplus
Cause of Trouble.

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.--Tle stocS
market was thrown into decentralization
today by the further consideration OF
the new conditions in the money mar
ket offered by the advance in the Bank
OF England s rate TO per cent yes
te-day and by the heavy iuroad on the
surplus reserves OF the New York banks
as revealed by the bank statement. The
conditions as the market closed were
panicky and stocks were being thrown
over lndlscrimlnately and at swift
concessions in prices.
Some OF the principal declines will
sufficiently picture the conditions:
Great Northern preferred broke 5, An
aconda 1922, Reading 612, st. Paul and
Canadian Pacific 4S4, Union Pacific, At
lantic Coast Line and American Smelt-
ing. 4, Northern Pacific and Colorado
Fuel 3l@, B. 0. 3$4, and Louisville a.
Nashville and Amalgamated Copper 3.
and in the list generally wide declines
throughout, ranging up TO 2ia points.
There was evidence from time To
time OF vigorous efforts to support the
market by taking over The offerings,
but the food Of liquidation broke
through all efforts to sup ,.0rt the mar
ket and threw it into the demoralized
condition In which it closed. London
was a heavy seller in this market and
grave apprehensions were reported in
London for the consequences IN the
coming stock market settlement there.
The violent liquidation of speculative
accounts was demonstration that
plans had miscsrried there through the
change IN the money situa ton.
The attitude of the Bank of England
makes it clear that no further gold will
be relinquished to foreign markets and
the necessity Is recognized of attract
ing funds TO London sufficient to repair
the reserves Of the bank. Severe meas.
ures for the cutting down Of American
credits in that market are looked for.

statement did not reflect all of the

Canadian Withdrawals, but the $l6,-

WHEAT MARKET WEAK

Lower Prices in Liverpool and

CHICAGO, Oct. o0.--Lower prices
for wheat at LIVERPOOL were chiefly re-
sponsible for weakness today in the
local wheat market. AT the close wheat

The wheat market was weak all day,
Trading was very quiet and prices held
within narrow range.
The news of the day was almost ex-
clusively IN favor of the bears, and
With no special demand the market
showed no rallyiug power. Prices were
affected by a decline of l5d at Liver,

States increased shipments from In.

a liberal increase in world s shipments.
Local longs were the chief sellers, and
demand came mainly from shorts.

LARGE STEAMER
LOST AT SEA

Biloxi, Miss, Oct. 5.-Pilot Frank
Castanera who returned to the city
last evening from Gulfport, brought
with him the news Of the loss at sea
of an unknown freight steamer and
her crew. The crew Of the three
masted schooner Susie B. Dantzler,
which had just arrived from quaran-
tine. stated that they had during the
storm, of last week, rescued from
their vessel which was then in a
sinking condition, the crew of the
barkentine Jennie Hubert. The crew
of the Jennie Hubert had
in turn related how, during
the height of the storm. they had
seen a screw steamer battling with
the waves, turn over and sink, and
her crew with her. The crew OF the
Hubert were themselves put to such
straits to keep their own vessel afloat
that they were unable to give any
assistance to the crew Of the steam
er.
The tug Gulfport put to sea yester-
day lookin for wrecks. She ran
across the oil barge Magnolia, but the
latter refused any assistance.
