FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SHARP BREAK IN STOCKS Was Evident Among the
 High Grade Issues.

New York, Sept. 17.-Another sharp break in stocks resulted today from resumption of selling operations, which at times were conducted oh a rather large scale. The recent marking down of prices, extensive as it has been, at tracted no investment buying of con sequence; on the other hand, renewal of liquidation was evident among high grade issues Professional operators were distinctly bearish. Traders on the short side met with little opposi- ton and the downward sweep was carried in many instances to new low prices. Toward the close the move ment was reversed on short covering, and losses of one to three points were reduced considerably in the late deal ings. Total sales were 690,000 shares.
 There was no change in the general situation of sufficient consequence to accoutn of recession, which seemed to be due to the continuing influence of conditions with which the market has been confronted for some time. The unsettlement in Russia, uncertainty to the effect on securities of govern mental price fixing and official 1egis- lation, and the frhnness of money buying. The spreading of labor troubles in the shipbuilding industry attracted a good deal of attention in the street, but it's effect was discount ed largely by expectations of a speedy adjustment.
 Some of the heaviest professional selling was in the steel group. Beth lemehm Steel broke badly to 8 new low figure, with an extreme decline of points to 93 38. New low points also were reached by United States Steel which were depressed 3-S to 103 34, and Midvale. The coppers also yielded readily to pressure. and Utah. Inspira- tion and Smelling were forced down three points or more. Further marked weakness appeared in the shipping shares.
 In the railway list, St. Paul was again conspicuously weak, selling off IA to a new quotation at 56 IA. Reading gave way under bear pres sure to TT 34, and Norfolk and West ern also reached the lowest price of the movement. Bonds were heavy. Total sales (par value) $3.2s0,O00. Liberty bonds sold at 99.98 to 100. Panama coupon 3's rose four points. United States coupon 2's lost 1-2 and United States coupon As advanced IA on call.

NAVY GETS NEW
 COACH FROM WASHINGTON
Gilmore Dobie's Teams Have Made Fine Record Against Opponents-His Teams Have Not Lost q Game in Fourteen Years.

New York, Sept. 16.-The absence at this time. of the annual Army Navy football game upon the seasons sche- dule of gridiron contests appears likely to deprive Gilmour Doble. the Sailors new coach of an opportunity to test his tutoring mettle against the skill and strategy of the Soldiers coaching staff. In engaging the services of Do- bic the Naval Academy authorities se- cured a football instructor with a re- markable record. If the Middies team is as successful this Fall as other elev- ems have been in the past under the coaching of Dobie the Navy team will be unusually keen to clash with the Cadet eleven from the plains of West Point.
 The Naval Academy has had several football coaches of more than ordinary ability and record both as players and mentors. in other years but none of these can point to a record that equals in any particular the one that the new Middle instructor has estab- lished during the past decade. Dobie first came into intercollegiate promi- hence as a football coach in 1908 when he took charge of the University of
