a sharp break in the shares of the
United States Steel Corporation was fea-
ture of the dealings on the stock exchange
yesterday which created in Wall street a
great amount of concern. Steel common
broke in the course of the trading, to ~,
loss of rs points from yesterdays last
price, and the preferred stock fell to 9OA,
a loss of rs, with but slight recoveries
In either stock at the close.
The movement of these shares held prac-
ticalIy the entire attention of Wall street,
as it was generally feared that the heavy
declines reflected a condition in the steel
industry or the imminence of a condition,
analogous 10 the Generalization in the
copper industry.
NEW YORK, September 1.-THE disor-
dered condition in the metal markets was
the dominating influence again in the
stock market and defeated any tendency
toward Improvement prompted by other
considerations. The distinction WAS
marked again between the railroad list
and the metal industrials. the former be-
Ing moderately affected by the depression

the days market was the heavy iquida-
tiOn in the United States Steel stocks, both
classes falling to new low levels for the
year. the common stock selling at ~
and the preferred stock at 901..
Evidently the speculative assumption
was that the conditions that have over
come the copper trade might develop in
the iron and steel trade No news was
Forthcoming TO indicate any fresh change
in the iron and steel trade.
An effect was felt from the publication
oe a report from Pittsburg that the pro-
ducers Of iron had determined to meet
any falling off In demand with a Curtail-
ment of production. Reports that the
United Metals Company. the selling agency
of the Anal gamated Copper Company, had

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.
NEW YORK, September 14.-The Finar

NEW YORK, September 1.-THE Finan-
cler will say:
Last weeks official statement Of the New
York associated banks was somewhat re-
markab.e exhibit in that 1t failed for the
third consecutive week to indicate what 1t
was reasonably expected to show, the i'm
portant changes in loans and in deposits
resulting from the banking operations Of
the week. Such operations were, 1t would
seem, of much magnitude, owing to the
speculative movements in the market, and
also to the changes incident to bond and
other negotiations; the statement, however,
disclosed an increase of but 1915 COZ in
loans and a decrease OF only S1,632, COO in
general deposits. Moreover, the return did
not make a good proof, the sum of the de-
crease in cash, less the increase in loans,
calling for a reduction of $4S6,SO in de-
posits, whereas this Item was diminished
by 81 632 600. The loss of cash shown by
the statement was SS61.SO0; the estimates
which were based upon the traceable move
ments of money during the week showed
an increase of about $2,000,00O.
The discrepancy between the officially re-
ported loss and the estimated gain cannot
be accounted for on the suppositon that
It was due to the average, nor was the in
crease in public deposits responsible there
for; such increase was only S943,Goo. The
reduction in general deposits was, as above
noted, 81 SO GOO, and the decrease in re-

the overnight rally on Wall street induced

The money market continued extremely
easy and discounts eased in sympathy. A
sharp hardening in discounts, however, is
anticipated in view of the gold REQUIRE
