MARKET SENSITIVE.
But Some Things Have Tended to Dis
 ,pel Gloomy Feeling.

New York, Oct. 23-Violent pertur- ibation in to-day's stock market was taken for granted in view of the seri- ous nature of the days news, both from the trust company and the indus trial field The sensitiveness of the market as a barometer of conditions might have left it open supposedly to even more violent disorder, in view of the seriousness of the news. As a mat ter of fact there was a considerable and conspicuous fragment of the list of securities which was but slightly affected by the acute depression at other points and by the severe strin- gency of money. Their comparative stability suggested something of sus- pense in the attitude of waiting for the working out of measures to fortifv the situation. The eager attention of the whole of the financial community converged on the progress of these measures. sIt was felt that on the de- cision of these conferences might bingA the restriction of the field of the from bles which have thrown confusion into
 financial affairs, The failure of the Knickerbocker Trust company to re- open it's doors to-day and the new rim precipitated on the Trust Company of America by it's request for assistance [ from other institutions offered the sur- face evidence of the trouble. Then came the announcement of the closing of the Pittsburg stock exchange and the reported embarrassment of indps- trial company as cause. Sales of various stocks for Pitteburg account 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 urgent
 liquidation General Electric was in close sympathy owing to thet ana1o- gous business field of the two conn panies. The effect of the Westinghouse incident was particularly severe on the industrial securities generally.
 Support in this part of the list seem ed out of the question. Pools which find themselves involved in these un- marketable stocks are forced to lioui- date other securities to pay off loans It was borrowing of an urgency sucb as this that forced the high call 1oa, rate at the stock exchange. r9te of go per cent. was made on a small loan.

It was credloiy reported that $10 1000, 900 of gov ernment funds were deposited with the New York banks during the day The knowledge of this fact, the continuance throughout the day of payments to de- positors by the Trust company of Am erica was the fact that nothing like A run developed on any other institution dispersed to some extent, the gloomy feeling.
 The substantial rally in stocks the latter part of the day was the ref1ec- ton of this. That sentiment has be- come settled into anything like placid frame cannot be assumed. Closing fluctuations in prices indicated the con- trary clearly.

A day to try mems souls and bank accounts was yesterday as well as the day before, and several previous days. in the stock market: New Haven in- vestors who own Delaware and Hud- son, Swift & Co.,, or Westinghouse stock, to say nothing of General Elec- tric, Union Pacific Northern Pacific, Shelters, Louisville and Nashville, etc, saw their stocks weak and help less against the forced sales which came upon the market from exhaust ed margin holders and the efforts in New York to raise cash. It was day yesterday to be remembered by hold CTS of Westinghouse, over the news that this vast corporation has gone to the wall Westinghouse, which was selling at ITO a year or so ago, was down to 35 before the market closed. General Electric is down 70 or 80 points from the high and Swift & Go. went down to 93 and stockholders in Shelters see their stock down near
 hundred points from top prices, The whole market had weary aspect and the brokers offices were thronged with people eager to take advantage of the bargains or standing ready to put up more margin or throw up the sponge as the case might be. Alarmed trust company depositors in New York rushed to get their money out of the companies and with call money at 100 per cent, the Westinghouse Smash there was abundant food for reflection.

The severe decline in Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing second preferred from 54 5-S on Monday morn Ing to S6 on Tuesday, foreshadowed some important developments. It had been known for several months that the electric company was in need of funds. The failure of the stockhold- CTS to take up the $5,OOO,OOO new stock at $75 per share a few months ago naturally disarranged the plans of the management for financing it's re- quirements. It had been expected to pay off maturing loans with the pro- ceeds, and the exigencies of the situa- ton in New York prevented the com. pany from making such loans that would carry it over a period of sey- eral months. The situation became acute within the last few days, and if IS understood that large loans were called, which, when unpaid, were lioui- dated on Tuesday.
