The one active stock 10 show a gain was
Baldwin Locomotive. which closed about
five points higher Stocks were In free
supply after the opening and the mar
ket, lacking any support, readily re-
sponded to the selling pressure. Oc-
casional rallies lacked ,igor and made
for slight progress! The rails which
were in demand at the outset, gave way
eventually to the liquidation In the in
dustrials and more than lost substantial
advances The money situation, empha-
sized by the fact that the first payments
on the last Liberty Loan are due to-
morrow, was ascribed as the reason for
the heavy selling OF securities. Heavy
pressure In Steel common, which opened
slightly higher. precipitated the DOWN
ward movement. This market leader
sold on two points before the decline
was checked. Copper, shipping and oil
stocks were In supply. Mexican Pc
troleum closing with loss OF about five
points, Trading In Liberty Loan bonds

A smaller volume of business was
transacted In curb securities yesterday

were small generally, the largest fiuctua-
ton in the active issues being slightly

Again interest was centred chiefly in
the movements of the oil stocks. STAN
dard OIL issues generally were lower. In
the Independent oil list there we're few
strong spots which showed fractional ad-
vances, the most prominent being Oklo-
homa Producing and Refining and Pan

motors were dull and Irregular.

NEW TRANSIT RULE ADOPTED.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. - Regulations
wiping out the old transit ARRANGEMENT
on railroads whereby. goods stopped in
transit had to be billed out again over
the producing road were issued by d.
rector-Generai McAdoo to-day.
A universal transit system has been
established. under which all such COM
modities may be moved from a transit
point over the most direct route.
For years tho railroads have allowed
transit privileges by which a car of corn,
for instance. could be shipped from the
farm to city consumer on a single
rate. and the corn stopped at a mill,
ground into meal and placed on the cars
again to the mill. The transit privilege
10 not abolished.
Producers of any commodity may still
stop In transit for manufacture, but
under the old rule II had to go out again
from the transit point on the road that
brought u In. The system was designed
80 that producing roads could hold the
trahic produced by them. Under the
new rule; the shipment can be given to
any road Transit charges are not dis
turbed, but notice 10 served that they
will either be made uniform or abolished.

SHARP BREAK IN
COTTON FUTURES
Less Optimistic View of Peace
q Restraining Factor in
Trading.

A less optimistic view of peace pros
poets and bearish statistical features
were considered responsible for q sharp
break In the cotton market yesterday.
After selling at 1850. early December
rallied to $4,000, but later broke to
2o24c. under renewed liquidation and
increased Southern selling. December
closed at 29,2sc.. with the general list
closing barely steady at net decline Of
3s to go points.
The market opened easy at a decline
Of 2 to ~ points under Liverpool. Wall
Street and scattered Southern selling.
Offerings from the latter source were not
greatly In evidence, and after selling
about rs to 80 points net lower right
after the call the market steadied on
covering and indications for colder
weather In the South Rallies 10 about
Tuesdays closing figures met increased
offerings however, and the market was
weak IN the late trading. Southern SELL
ing was more in evidence toward the
close. evidently creating an impression
around the ring that the weight OF ac-
cumulating supplies In the interior was
beginning to make itself felt
Much Of the selling by houses with
Wall Street connection was attributed to
the liquidation of long contracts bought
toward the end of last week on the OPP
timistic idea OF peace prospects. The
Liverpool selling was one OF the features,
and was believed to be on straddle ac-
count In anticipation OF wider differences
between the two markets. This also
would suggest less favorable view Of
the outlook for peace, and the situation
In that respect was consequently re-
garded one OF the chief features on tho
break
Reports from the goods trade indicate
that manufsc turers are moro willing to
sell for the frst quarter OF next year and
that spinners are also more inclined to
sell yarns at the Government prices.
This was taken as rejecting a growing
belief that there would be no advance In
the price schedule when II 10 revised next
month, and In some cases buyers Of
goods are now said to be holding OF In
the hope that prices may be shaded
should there be further declines In raw
