RcopeninE the Exchange.

4 popular impression seems to be that
threatened foreign liquidation is the only
factor that Is keeping the doors OF the
Stock Exchange closed at the present
time and that II this foreign liquidation
could be held of from the market or
taken care of by some mechanical device.
such as gigantic syndicate. the stock
market situation here would Immediately
return to the conditions ruling before the
war. This view ls far from correct For
cign liquidation Is only one of the prob
lens facing us II II were settled now
the matter of domestic liquidation would
still remain. The war has brought about
new set of conditions in the Investment
market. Capital In the next few years Is
likely to be more scarce than II has been
on the average in the past Ave years An
Indication OF this has already been fur
nished In the terms OF the city note ealo
In the long run this means lower prices
for securities on tho average. The In
dlvidual who owns stocks and bonds out
right Is not materially affected as long as
his income Is unimpaired. But in the case
of Institutions aud individuals with stocks
pledged for loans the prospect Is an eS-
ceedingly difficult one. A decline in prices
Will make necessary Il general rcadJust-
mcnt of book values. IL the decline were
allowed TO be severe and violent tho con-
sequences might be disastrous.

So far tho Stock Exchange COMMITTEES
which has charge OF tho dealings in listed
securities has permitted no trades to be
completed at prices below those Of tho
closing on July so. In unlisted bonds
however. transactions are permitted at
moderate concessions" n r. now being
questioned whether the rule In regard to
listed securities, particularly In the case
OF bonds, may not be carried TO extremes
The purpose OF the rule presumably WIS
to allow liquidation where such Gould be
conducted without endaugering the situs-
ton by an abnormal decline In prices
The claim made IL that a too strict ad-
herenre TO the letter OF the ruling may
defeat its purpose altogether For In
stance, a bond broker received a bid last
week from an out % town customer for
block OF inactive bonds at 99sS The price
at the official closing was 100. The bid
was submitted to the Stock Exchange
committee and disapproved. After some
further negotiation tho bid was raised to
99&. Again the committee refused to
approve OF the transaction. The reason
for this uncompromising attitude on the
part OF the exchange authorities pro-
sumably was that tho ruling had to be
obeyed TO the letter. But this attitude
II continued will place an obstacle in tho
way OF attempts TO accomplish healthfuf
liquidation The broker In this instance
spent money on long distance telephone
calls and worked hard TO put the trade
through. II Ia true that he might per.
haps have saved himself the loss by q
careful reading OF the ruling But on me
other hand IN normal times the market
FOR inactive bonds II one OF private nego-
tation and such a difference In price as
described would 80 unremsrked.

working Out Plan for Iiquidsfing
OF Contracts.

Members OF the Coffee Exchange hav.
ing outstanding contracts held a meeting
yesterday for the purpose OF working
out plan for the liquidation of their
contracts. According TO one OF the mem
bers present at the meeting II was agreed
that the I,quidating committee should he
empowered 10 lower the margins on out
standing contracts maximum Of 80
points In one day on condition that two
days notice be given. BY this means
Il is hoped 10 reduce the position and
pave the way for tho reopening OF tho
exchange.
Before this plan can be adopted. how
ever. Il will be necessary for the board
OF managers of the exchange TO authorize
the liquidating committee to resume ses-
sions, ~ these were suspended by order OF
the board "A few days ago.
The local spot market yesterday was
depressed with prices shade lower than

creased 554644 bags during September,

Der was 1006Os90 bags. as compared
with l2.i73,016 bags year ago.

gests that manufacturers will be able TO

of steel are combining their purchases to
