U-B0AT SPEECH HITS
new YORK EXCHANGE
Bull Enthusiasm Chilled and Market
Fails to Recover Before Close.
by the International News seryice.)


New York, Feb. 23.-Lloyd Georges
speech broke the market today, and it
nsd not recovered from the blow at the
ciose. Quoted loss was not sc important
as the chilling of bullish enthusiasm. The
pofnt that caused the trouble was the re-
marx that food supplies on the British
Isles are now the lowest on record and
mat the German submarine blockade has
brought about a desperate condition. Just
NJ The close OF the market, announcement
was made that an American missionary
had been killed on a French liner which
was being shelled by the Germans. In
the absence OF further details this incl
dent, apparently, had no effect on the
market
Heavtness of Westinghouse. General
Electric and Midvale were the features
OF the day. Bethlehem Steel bankers an
nounced that all the $4,000, 900 OF short
term notes had been disposed Of Now
the field Is clear for other short term
note issues of American corporations
against which British short term notes
may be put as collateral
Earnings reported during the day were
satisfactory. Westinghouse let it be
known that for the nine months ending
December I, II had earned at the rate of
> per cent of the stock then outstanding.
1t has just issued SIS, 600 0oos more stock,
but that will not pay of the 81, 900. 900
owed to the banks. II Westinghouse has
been compelled to take a big block OF
British non-negotiable notes, the cash po-
slttOn of the company will need further
Strengthening, although from a credit
point Of view it is very strong.
