NEW YORK, October 5-Speculative
sentiment seemed to have undergone
radical change, judging from the tone
of today's early stock market.
There was selling of an urgent char
acter, based, presumably, on the nu-
merous warnings and cautionary state
ments uttered In high financial places.
War shares naturally bore the weight
of the selling pressure. American Car

Firmness of the railroads, notably
Canadian Pacific, Pennsylvania, New
York Central and Union Pacific. served
to bring about partial rally, but the
recovery was not maintained, some is
sues. notably U. S. Steel. going lower
on the secondary decline.
Contrary to expectations, no an
nouncement of the closing of the
Anglo-F French loan subscription was
made at the opening of the market.
This. together with some weakness in
foreign exchange. was counted among
the adverse influences of the early
session.
