NEW YORK STOCKS
IN A BAD SLUMP
industrial Situation and
Absence of Big Short In
tereSt the Cause.

NEW YORK. Sept. 23.-with the open
Ing of the market there was an entire
Change Of front as compared with the
strength at the close on Saturday. Lon
don sent over depressing cables on Cop
per and the copper situation generally.
The announcement that The Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad Company would hereafter
manufacture its own rails 10 the elimi-
nation of the United States Steel Cor
porltion as a factor in their business
had a depressing effect on Steel both
common and preferred. other indus
trials were weak and the fact that the
President was on the eve of launching
a number of campaign speeches aided
In producing the bear reaction.
Moreover, IL was but natural that
there should be some reaction after a
week in which much of the short inter
est was driven to cover, as this very
interest has been sustaining factor for
some time. Prolt-taking also caused
an Increase In the offerings.
Industrial Situation Bad.
Financial interests are not opposed to
steady market, but they are decidedly
opposed to any imitation Of values or
speculation on a broad scale. as they
believe that any movement in this d.
Tection before the final movement OF
the crops is 10 be deprecated.
mat there viii be radical declines In
Ine market at this time depends on
the industrial situation which is being
Slosely watched. Should conditions in
copper, Steel, and Smelling improve, the
harvest be safely gathered, and political
influences be less antagonistic, the pres
ent position OF the market Should be
strong enough to prevent any serious
freaks.
The Immediate Opening.
The slump hit the list with the tap
of the bell. Copper dropped q on the
hrst sale. and then added another point
10 the loss. Anaconda Copper received
the worst jolt of anything on the list
tumbling on the first sale 20 3S1k as
compared with a Saturday closing of
4t12. There was some recovery, but il
cid not hold. Smelling lost 24s points
and all three of these stocks showed
not the slightest raIlying power. steel
common lost a point in short order. and
the preferred Y IN the opening and
another half but recovered to 9liz.
The Rail List.
Baltimore and Ohio was one Of the few
firm stocks in the rail. list. nearly
everything else going on down in the
liquidation. Canadian Pacific lost
point, New York Central g, ST. Paul Ii,
and Chesapeake and Ohio l. The Hill

Northern Pacific lost Ia without much
recovery either in actual price or tone.
