ILARGt CASH LOSS
: SHOWN FOR WEEK
Stocks Weakened Yesterday
in Response to Profit
Taking Sales


New York, November 22-In response TO
profit taking sales following Thursday
rise and some selling by London, stocks
here weakened today.
The opening was lower and prices eased
off in the forenoon. Trade diminished TO
nominal proportions in the last half of the
session and prices virtually We're at
standstll. London selling was regarded
as the Significant development OF the ses-
sion. 1t was estimated that D,oo0 TO 50,eo0
shares were sold here by London, winch
recently had been repurchasing American
securities disposed of following the out
break of the Balkan war. This selling
was attributed in part to uneasiness over
the rejection by the Turkish government
OF the peace terms proposed by the allies.
Another explanation was that the selling
was the reply of London to the engage
ment OF gold there for this country, and
was representative of the feeling abroad
that the situation had not cleared suf-
ficently to justify Europe in acquieseing
in a reduction of its supplies of gold.
Further engagements of $4,000 gold was
announced Disposition of London to UNI
load American stocks was thought to
have lessened the chances of a large in
flow of gold at this time. For a time there
was some buying by traders, who took
the ground that strong influences aligned
on the bull side were responsible for
THURSDAYS uDturn. This buving was
more than offset by liquidating sales. and
London selling. The latter was the most
effective in Union Pacific, Reading and
Nnsalgamated Copper stocks. Losses were
restricted to fractions in most instances.
Canadian Pacific declined points. A loss
OF cash 10 the banks on the weeks trans
actions was Indicated. Known move
ments of money for the week showed a
cash loss of about 100000. Bonds were
aGiet and unchanged. Total sales, par
value, $1,315,000 United States bonds, rs.
declined Is on call transactions.
