WAR NEWS HITS
STREET. HARD
Rumor Of Verdun's Fall
Causes Sharp Break on
New York Exchange.
TRADERS SELL IN HASTE
Number of Issues Suffer Through
Stampede - Mexican Petroleum
Weak After Carranza Order.

Nan Work Feb 9s-Professional trad
ers boisted the German nag in Wall
street TODAY and captured Vsrdun just
before the market closed. Scores OF trad
ers were nervous and did not stop to
verify the runnor of Verdun's fall, but
sharp break. and the market closed in
full swing downward, with final prices
lowest of the session.
While net losses were considerable, they
did not mark the extent OF the decllne,
for in the early trading the market had
a brisk rally under leadership OF Amer1-
css-Locomotive, which has become more
of a war stock than an Industrial the
standard issues did not participate IN the
upward movement, although they uiu
Weld in the final drive.
Among those suffering most were Mex
lean Petroleum, Studebaker. Willys-OEer-
Land, Marine preferred, CructOle and
Canadian Pacific. That these did suffer
most. however, was purely accidental IL
lust happened that they were the most
scffye issues. and the traders dealing
in them happened TO be standing by the
tickers The whole drive was so quick
and unexpected that brokers had no time

touch with prices. These people VIII be
on hand Monday, and should the Tumors
Of today be justified by developments
around Verdun, Wall Street must expect
a lively session.
In addition to the war news Mexican
Petroleum had, as a reason for weak
ness. the announcement by Carranza that
the Mexican government proposes to drill
for oil to supply the Mexican railroads.
An unusual volume Of stock has been
taken out Of the market So many in
yestors have made so much money that
they have become frightened at their own
success. They have put this proft into
standard shares. which they have had
transferred to be laid away as perTna-

directions. There was not much in the
days news budget to excite comment,
though 1t is generally realized that the
situation with respect to Berlin is still
critical Many tired bulls, discouraged
on account of the poor response which
the list has made to satisfactory basic
conditions, are now disposed to reduce
lines, and in addition thereto the element
bearishly disposed is working aggressive
ly on the down side with quite some sue
cess. We continue to believe that stocks
sold at or around the prevailing levels
can be replaced to advantage later on.
We are among those who would much
