pressure by longs.
Peace Prospect Is Bear Factor.
Wheat prices reacted under agrees

VIOLENT FLUCTUAD0N
IN LONDON EXCHANGE
Irregular Quotations Add to Reac-
tionary Tendency Of New
York Market.
Gains in Specialties and investments
Offset by Losses-Industria1s
Active at Close.

NEW YORK, September 3.-Further
irregularity was noted in today's early
trading, gains in some specialties and
investment issues being Offset by de-
clines in the same groups. This con-
fusion was attributed to developments
in London, where exchange on New
York was reported to have made fur
ther recovery of 10 cents. On the
other hand, all important American
stocks were lower in London by to
over 2 points. At the outset here the
only notably active issue was United
States Steel, which. on its first sale Of
$500 shares, showed a loss of " at
74A. Crucible Steel opened at slight
decline, which was soon changed to a
substantial advance. Other changes
were mostly nominal on light dealings.
London Exchange F1uctuates.
The violent fluctuation in exchange
on London added to the reactionary
tendency Of the market prices showing
greater heaviness later. Three stocks
U. S. Steel, Crucible Steel and Westing-
house-constituted the only active fea-
lures of the early trading. Crucible
fell * from its high to S1k and U. 8.
Steel yielded point at TAN. Advances
in other parts of the list also were can
celed, after which the market became
extremely apathetic. Railways were
comparatively steady. being helped by

The rise in foreign exchange gave the

ARE ASKED TO REPORT
OUTPUT OF PRODUCTS
Manufacturers to Give Information
Regarding Materials Govern
ment Might Need. /

Following the action OF the War De-
partment in the early part of August,
the Navy Department has requested in
formation of manufa cturers as to their
output of the materials which the navy
might need in case OF an emergency.
That action is in line with the de-
velopment of campaign plans under
consideration by the department. 1t is
expected that the work will require
months, in facr, years, before it Is
finally completed.
The inquiry that the Navy Depart
ment is instituting pertains primarily
to the manufacture or output of struc-
tural materials used in the building of
ships, rope, various articles of boat and
ship equipment, provisions. raw mate
rails for the manufacture Of clothing
and GOLFERS that may be available for
transporting supplies to the fleet.
To Record Inquiries and Replies.
The inquiries will be recorded and re.
tial and will be changed from time to time
as conditions in the manufacturing dis
tricts warrant.
while this is peace-time procedure
pure and simple" said Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt, 1.-The demands from abroad for
various articles have so taxed the facili-
ties of home manufacturers as to make
it difficult to obtain certain classes Of ar
ticles In the case of some materials such
as acids, dyes, etc, the local supply Is
short because of the reduced importations.
and in some cases, 1t has been necessary
to comb the market. as it were, in order
to find some of the things wanted.
Fortunately this condition applies to
only a few items which so far the navy
has been able to obtain, and at favor
able prices, but it has been noticed that
recently long-term deliveries are being
quoted in tenders for rolled and sheet
materials.
Desires to Keep in Touch.
1T is hoped that by means of the cir
culars which have been issued the
Navy Department will be able to keep
in closer touch with industrial condi-
tions as they exist throughout the
United States. Furthermore, the factlf-
ties of various manufacturers for turn
ing out munitions of war have been so
increased that it is desired to know
what the increased output may be.
The inquiries will cover a wide field.
such as the facilities of transportation
lines, principally by sea: the supply Of
fuel and the output of supplies ana
materials of many descriptions"
