character of the quotations which have been established for them, and the mar row market existing for any sehuihe liouidations in them. Support in this part of the list seemed out Of the question. Pools which find themselves involved III these unmarketable stocks are forced to liouidate other securities to pay off loans.
 Ii was the arriving of an urgency suah as this t1iAt forced the high call loan rates at the Stock Exchange. A rate or 90 per cent was made on a small loan. Apparently the fears of the effects from a contraction of credits applied more lo enterprises of an industrial nature than to transportation business and sensational declines were made in a large number of inactive stocks of all descriptions. In spite of the nasty fortifying of others which was going on, many powerful banks renewed standing call loans at 6 per cent and at other rates materially below 70 per cent, which was called the ruling rate. The supplying of funds In this way was part of the far-reaching force to keep down a panic and to save tic situation. The sub-treasury state ments showed a gain by the banks from that institution of 14,311, 900 on yesterdays operations. and it was known that the presence at the government institution of a high official, insured relief measures by the government to safeguard tile posi- tiou. It was creditably reported that SlO,- COG, 900 of government funds were deposited with the New York banks during the day. The knowledge of this fact, the continuance throughout the day of pay ments to depositors by the Trust Com pany of America, and the fact that noth- ing like a run developed on any other in stitution dspelled to some extent the gloomy clouds which overhung mems minds.
 The substantial rally in stocks the lat ter part of the day was the reflection of this. That sentiment has become set tied into anything like a placid frame cannot be assumed. Closing fluctuations in prices indicated the contrary clearly. The further course of events in the Trust company situation is regarded yet as the crucial test of the position.

VIOLENT CHANGES
 IN STOCK MARKET Continuance of Depression Fol-
 lows Events of Tuesday STOCKS MAKs GOOD RALLY
Confidence in the Situation Nls Un, diminished and While the Danger Is Not Over Flnanciers Believe
 Worst Has Passed.

New York October 23.-Violent pertur- bation in today's stock market was taken for granted in view of the serious nature of the days news, both from the trust company and the industrial field
 The sensitiveness of the market as a barometer of conditions might have made possible even more violent disorder, in view of the seriousness of the news. As a matter of fact there was considerable and conspicuous fragment of the list of securities which was but slightly affected by the acute depression in other stocks and by the severe stringency of money. The resistance of these points in the list must have been due to protective meas. ures by money resources adequate to ef- feet this end. Their comparative sta' bility suggested something of suspense, also in the attitude of waiting for the working out of measures to fortify ths situation. The eager attention of tho whole of the financial community con. verged on the progress of these measures on what might be done by the financial and banking powers who had the matter in hand. It was felt that on the decision of these conferences might hinge the re- strietion of the field of the troubles which have thrown confusion into financial af- fairs.
 The failure of the Knickerbocker Trust company to reopen its doors today, and the new run precipitated on the Trust Company of America by it's request for assistance from other institutions, offered the surface evidence of the trouble.
 Then came the announcement of the closing of the Pittsburg Stock exchange, and the reported embarrassment of indus trial companies as a cause.
 The direct force of this latter factor on the stock market was testimony to the importance of Pittsburg in speculative ae- tivity.
 Sales of varitus stocks for Pittsburg ac- count in New York were enormous and made a prime influence in the weakness of the day, Westinghouse Electric, for which the market is narrow at any time, was slaughtered in the liquidation. The rapid financial embarrassment of the com pany was sufficient explanation. General Electric was in close sympathy owing to the analogous business field of the two companies. The effect of the Westing- house incident was particularly severe on the industrial securities generally, and many of these disclosed the artificial

Lower Prices at Liverpool Cause Heavy Decline at the Opening and This Is Emphasized By the
 Days Trading.

New York. October 23.-New low rec ords were made in the cotton market tor day under liquidation and bear pressure, as a result of unsettling developments in financial circles and reports that strin- gency in the money market was making itself felt among interior holders. The market closed steady at a net decline of IS to 27 points. Sales for the day were estimated at 350,0OO bales
 The market opened easy at a decline of IA to 19 points in response to lower cables, and quickly increased the loss under re- ports of a run on another trust com pany and wires from the southwest re- porting that one of the southern holding companies had used up available funds and could make no further advances to planters.
 During the middle of the day the mar ket showed a net loss of about 20 to S points, with December relatively easy un- der selling believed to be for Liverpool but at the low level there was heavy buying for the account of Wall street shorts and during the later session the market showed slightly steadier tone, closing 4 or points up from the lowest on the active months.
 There were many rumors of easier in terior markets. but very little definite news, and it seems from later advices that the concern refusing to make fur ther advances with cash to southwestern planters was only small one, Southern spot markets reported officially were about unchanged to Ac lower. Wires from the southwest said that Texas offer ings were 1s to ssc under Mondays offer ings.
