HAVE CHECKED
 THE RISE OF PRICES IS CLAIHA
National City BankN

A check has been given to the rise of prices, and although the Govern ments campaign has made no great showing in concrete results it has had an effect in giving direction and force to public opinion. The demands of the railroad brotherhoods and state ments by the President heipeu 70 make up the public mind that the crazy cycle Of rising wSges and prices had about reached the limit The whole industrial situation was headed for chaos.
 The threats of Government prose cution doubtless inclined some holders of foodstuffs to let go, and the sales of large Government stores was more important influence, but a weak enins of the foreign demand and an improvement in the corn crop were still more important. The fall of exchange rates has made the prices which appear high in this market still higher to foreign consumers. More over, the foreign crop of grains is now available, and ships are rapidly con- veying the stores of Australasia and Argentina to England. Packers sales abroad have declined and prices of provisions and hogs have declined and prices of provisions and hogs have been affected thereby Hogs are down S4 to $7 per hundred weight from the top. Corn has had a decline of about 65 cents per bush e1 from the top, which shows how easily prices can come down when sentiment shifts. Cotton is down about 5 cents per pound
 The markets are all more quiet since the conclusion seems to have been reached that further advances were intolerable. It has been de- monstrated that the best treatment for them when they show symptoms of going wild is resolute abstention from buying.

SUGAR BOARD
 WILL ALL0T
 SUPPLY SOON Conference Expected to Re suit in Equal Allocation
 of Remainder of
 Years Supply.

In view of the sugar shortage, the Sugar Equalization Board is planning to regulate the distribution of availa- ble sugar for the remainder of this year through a committee. Officials of the board have been in conference with sugar interests planning the de- tails, and some announcement is eX- pected in the course of the next day or two.
 It is expected that existing con- tracts of refiners with their custom CTS will be cancelled under the gov ernment's still existing war powers, and available output of refined sugar aIocated where the need is most pressing. Some parts of the country are bare of sugar, while other sec tions are fairly well supplied. The contemplated action will do away with Implications of sales by various Tefners to sections and consumers that already have enough sugar.
 Manufacturers of soft drinks and candies will probably have their al- Iotments of sugar drasticalIy cur tailed to relieve the domestic demand and permit housewives to do their customary canning and preserving Part of the sugar shortage is due to
 
 manufacturers of beverages and candy, compared with last year. Man. ufacturing use of sugar last year was about 100000 tons out of the 3,495,- 606 tons consumed in this country.
 It is understood that some beet su- gar manufacturers are selling new campaign sugar to manufacturers at about Il cents, a full two cents over the price basis for refined cane sugar.
 The domestic demand for sugar is so heavy in comparison with availa> ble supplies and refining capacity that no more exports of refined sugar will probably be made this year, outside of those already arranged for and those to the Royal Commission. The latter has due them nearly 2O0,O0 tons of refined under their option.
 Dom estic consumption of sugar for the first eight months of 1919 has been 2,S83,S14 tons against 2,49914O tons for the corresponding period last year, an increase of 3S4674 tOns This is 61.52 pounds per capita for the eight months, compared with 53.31 pounds for same time last year.
 Weather in Cuba according to cables received by Willett & Gray is favorable for the growing crop. Only one central is now grinding Re- ceipts at Cuban ports of raw sugar that has been stored at plantations continues heavy for this time of year, the amount received last week being 33,046 tons against II, ,371 tons for the same week in 1918 and S,30I tons in 1917 Exports to United States At 1antic ports last week were 53,S64 tons. Stocks of raw sugar in Cuba are. 590,606 tons, about 100000 tons ahead of the same time last year.
 Meltings by refiners last week at Atlantic ports, according to WiIIett 6. Gray, were 62,0OO tons, compared with 71,O00 tons the preceding week and 32,000 tons for the corresponding week in 191S

THRIFT WEEK
 IS ID BEGIN
 ON OCTOBER s

In accordance with the request of the Savings Division of the Treasury Department in New England and with a, desire to promote the economic wei fare of the community and to encour- age all measures tending thereto, the week of October 9th of the current year is designated and 0et apart as
 THRIFT WEEK
 in Bridgeport. Having in mind the great waste of the last four years which can only be offset by increased production and saving, it is earnestly urged that this week be observed in a practical way by concentrating all our thOushts and energies upon the coun- try's need for thrift and industry, and joining in the National Thrift Move ment in order that everything may be done to lessen the high cost of ivinS, to increase our savings and to extend the knowledge of safe investment.
 Given at Bridgeport this 2nd day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and nineteen. and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and fOrty-fourth.

STOCK MARKET. (WolInan X Co.)

Both in volume of actions and character of trading, the stock market continues to reflect the uncertainties of the general situation. The en- couraging, steady undertone, is due, partly to the fact that present labor disturbances were anticipated, and partly to confidence in the outcome. market, therefore, has not suffered from unexpected shock or doubt as to the future.
 At the same time, there is no dis position under present circumstances for investors to take q strongly con- structive position. Interest, however, has been concentrated chiefly on se- curities of corporations whose pro- ductiOn is not governed so largely by the element of labor, such as oil shares and concerns engaged in the distribution of general products and merchandise.
 The Steel group has reflected strong support rather than investment de- mand. The rails continue more or less neglected. Coppers have been disappointing, the trade being under the influence of the Foreign Ex- change situation, which is still acting as Q barrier to purchases of the red itieLdI DN European COISuDlGTS.
 The strength in Liberty Bonds is, partly, due to purchases made by the Treasury Department owing to the fact that large re-payments have been commenced by Great Britain on account of it's war borrowings. The investment demand for all these is sues is likely to be stimulated as a result of the advance in the last three weeks and by the public's appreciation of the low price for the highest grade investment in the world. | There are too many elements of ! uncertainty in the general situation, too many questions to be settled and settled right-to suggest the ad- visibility of new commitments, ex- | cept along the liens of conservatism. Eventually we will work back to nor nal, to a sane, safe basis for abiding prosperity, but we may find the road | tedious and beset by difficulties Un- der the circumstances, it is better for | the present to be safe, rather than sorry.

Columbia Trust to
Hold r. r. Equipment
Designated as Trustee for 3D.
600 Freight Cars Under
New Plan

The Columbia Trust Company has
been appointed by the United States
railroad administration trustee to hold
title to between $200,O00,000 and $780,
100000 of railroad equipment. This
arrangement was devised to make ST.
600 freight cars, some Of which have
already been constructed, available for
use as soon as they are completed,
obviating any delay pending the adj
justment of questions concerning al
location Of the equipment to the vari-
Gus roads.
The freight cars will be lettered
,"Columbia Trust Company, Trustee,
Owner" and put into service to facili-
tate the movement of crops as soon
as they are built The railroad admins
tration last year ordered about 100,-
600 cars, and only 10000 have been
definitely allocated. Many of the roads
protested against the plan of the rail-
road administration of distributing the
cars to the various companies and call
ing upon them to finance the pur-
chases.
1t was said that the placing of the
title to the equipment in the hands of
a trust company would facilitate the
programme for the formation of an
equipment trust suggested by com
mittee of bankers, headed by Jerome
j. Hanauer, of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. That
plan, which provides for $3.50, 900, 900
corporation to finance the purchase of
the equipment by issuing debentures
against it, is said to be practically
ready.

Stocks Break
Sharply Under
Heavy Selling
Industrial Shares Lead Most
Severe Decline of the
Year; Average Loss for
Day Over S Points

Prices on the New York Stock Ex
change and in the other speculative
markets took the most precipitate drop
of the year yesterday. Security values
almost without exception tumbled many
points, and cotton quotations declined
$40 bale. The whole atmosphere Of
Wall Street seemed surcharged with
uncertainty over the outcome of the
demand for a lower cost Of living, gov
ernment ownership of the railroads
and other pressing industrial ques-
tions.
Observers of the machinery Of the
security markets insisted that a sharp
reaction after the protracted rise in
prices which started last February was
to be expected, and that the moderate
declines Of the last fortnight were in
adequate. They declared yesterday
that stocks had been in weak" hands
and that most of the markets we're in
an overbought condition.
On the decline many persons who
had purchased stocks at lower prices
sold out and took their profits. More
over, others whose margin was thin
we're forced to liquidate. Professional
selling stimulated the tendency of
prices to plunge downward. Prices
were in most instances near the low
for the day at the close.
Industrial stocks, as we'll as railroad
securities, yielded to the selling
pressure which was exerted all through
the trading day. Hard money was an
other factor in the background of the
situation. Rates rose as high as 20
per cent last week, and the indisposi-
tion of conservative bankers to expand
loans for Stock Exchange purposes was
gradually becoming known to the av
erage trader. Money closed at 5sz and
612 per cent yesterday as the liquida
tion of stocks had temporarily made
conditions easier. Transactions reached
1883 900 shares.
The average price of twenty rail-
road shares stocks at the close of the
market yesterday was lilo, compared
with 74.25 on Friday, the last day of
trading last week, and a high for the
year of 1880. The low for 1919 is
6S.7O. Thirty industrial stocks closed
at 104.77, against 11003, the close on
Friday, and 11440, the high for the
year. The low for 1919 was 1920.
Yesterdays loss was 5.26.
In some instances the leaders in the
climb of prices were most conspicuous
in the reverse movement yeste rday.
Some typical price movements follow:

All Issues Weak

Losses of and 10 points were COM
mon among the standard stocks and in
some "specialties" declines were even
greater. American Woolen tumbled
IL points, and Stromberg carburetor
lost 16 points. Steel common broke
full 5 points. Bethlehem Steel
"B," selling at 110 two weeks ago,
fell 81 points to So. Baldwin Loco
motive, within fraction of 125 on a
recent wild flight, tumbled to 991a, off
IL points. Standard railroad issues,
we'll seasoned dividend payers, went
down with the declining industrials.
Rails were especially affected, natural
ly, by the proposal of the railroad men
that the roads be nationalized.
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, highly
regarded as an investment common
stock, lost ATS points net. Union
Pacific common broke 51s points, get
ting down to 1862 at the low. New
York Central, at 75h, was off 39s
points. In the closing half hour the
market was completely demoralized, as
a food of selling orders came in.
Values were often disregarded in the
headlong rush to sell. Weakly mar
gined accounts were wiped out by
hundreds
