 STOCK MARKET ]


 New York, Oct. 5-Confusion of speculative sentiment was indicated by the irregular price changes at the opening of today's stock market. A few leaders registered substantial gains over yesterdays heavy close while others were disposed to seek lower levels. United States Steel re- acted after a firm start to it's recent low price of 1o5 A, but immediately rallied a point and Bethlehem Steel gained as much. Other equipments, oils. tobaccos and active specialties were hesitant. Ohio Gas featured the utilities at decline of 2Z.
 Support of United States Steel which huctuated between 1O5 3-4 and TOT 1-8 was the noteworthy feature of the forenoon and went far toward stabilizing prices elsewhere. There was recurrent pressure, however. against the tobaccos, Ietroleums and several high priced specialties, the first. named losing three to five points while Cuban American Sugar dropped 30 points from it's last sale of a month ago, to 140 Trading was broad and active in the first hour but slackened later when the market de- veloped renewed irregularity. Liberty bonds sold at 99.76 to 99.82.

COLD EMBARGO.

We described last month the situa- ton in the foreign exchanges which has been causing the dollar to be eaoted at a discount in countries which on direct trade with this coun- try were largely in our debt. and which has been responsible for much of our gold exports. Since then the President has taken action under au- tflority given by the Act of Embargo, and has placed all expectations q coin and bullion under the control of the placed the exercise of authority in the handsslof the Federal reserve board. Coin and bullion may be exported only by submitting request. and having approval in each case. The occhsion for 1t must be stated, and fhA Board will judge whether or not tB6 transaction is of such public in t<rest as to justify the loss of gold from the country's reserves The wants of individuals must be sub-or- dfnated to the general good. Permis- sion to make payment for staple ar ticles of common use is readily grant, edA
 It is we'll known that the govern ment of Gref Britain has sought to discourage the Importation of un- 16ssary commodities. because ad- verse balances were created which lowered the purchasing power of the pound sterling It has placed obsta- cles upon the exportation of gold from London under such circumstances, while freely shipping gold to the United States. But as the pound steri- irG was arttfcially supported here. if became possible to sell sterling drafts here at slight discount, and take the proceeds away in gold. The effect Wns to rullify the efforts of the Brit ith government to control merchan- dlse importations into that country, and also to nullify it's efforts to sus- tain sterling in this market The ex- portations of gold under such circum- stances are not desired by Great Bri- tain and certainly do not serve the in tereas of this country. In the three months of May, June and July the ex- ports of gold from this country az sregat4d s193,soo. o.0o9.
