RAIL ROADS
 MUST OBEY
 COMMISSION

E, Washington, Oct. 16-Fajlure of the railroads operating out of Boston to conform to the Conclusions of the 1n- terstate commerce commission, acting as a board of arbitration in the inn port traffic case. probably will result in the near future in the defiHite or, 'der putting the commissions conclu- sions into effect.
 The Boston roads now are charging lower rates on its import traffic 10 points west than lines out of New York. Ut has been held by the com
 mission and sustained by the supreme court that disadvantages of geograph1- cal location cannot be equalized by the making of low freight rates to distant points. The likelihood is that, as the only way out of the present situation, the commission will issue an order in the New York case making effective it's conclusions as to the whole inn port rate question and it's action will affect almost the entire west bound import traffic of the country.

STOCK MARKET
 IN BIG SLUMP

New York, Oct. 16-Opening-Afte an indecisive movement at the open ing, today, the stock market became below the previous low marks for the present decline. The market appar- ently was weakened by the absence of demand rather than by the direct pressure. Can common and preferred opened with gains of point each. Reading, Southern Pacific and AmaI- gamated were fractionally higher while first prices of Union Pacific and Steel showed small losses. In the first few minutes the list turned downward definitely. Westinghouse and Union Bag pfd lost points and Union Pa ci6c, Canadian Pacific, Atchison, Utah Copper and Woolworth one.
 Noon-Specu1ative sentiment veered strongly to the selling side, today, Opinion was especially bearish among the more important professional trad CTS, who were heaviest sellers of Union Pacific, Reading and the cop pers. Holders of stocks were impress ed by the continued absence of bank ing support but reports that banks and trust companies were unloading hold financial, political and business condi- tions met with deniaIs. Further cuts in Steel products, the Mexican situa- ton and conjecture as to the effect of currency legislation had weight in depressing sentiment. Although trad ing became dull after the first hour. the market showed no ability to re- cover with any spirit. Weakness of minor issues indicated that weak spots were being sought out to force genuine liquidation. Bonds were heavy.
