SLUMP AGAIN
HITS MARKET
Fear that Federal Reserve
Bank Will Punish Money
Market Lowers Prices.
By BROADAN WALL,

New York. Nov. 26.-Stocks closed
lower today and the losses were ma
terial in a few issues. but the final
prices were considerably above the
worst of the day.-The real cause
was another rumor that the Federal
Reserve Bank intends to discipline
Wall Street loan market. but the
speculative. II the Mexican situa.
tion is a market factor at all, 1t Is a
bullish one.
Nobody in Wall Street believes the
Mexican situation will reach It's
crisis at this time. and therefore
when the traders come to Wall
Street Friday and find the world
still running on as usual. 1t is quite
likely that they will feel themselye, +,
compelled to cover their contracts.
In other words. the technical con-
dition is stronger than before.
Buyipg of steel today attracted
much atte as there seemed to
be very large orders on scale down.
General Motors and Pierce-Arrow
were disturbing factors. both suffer-
ing severely. and both closing ma
terially lower. The advances in both
of these were largely speculative,
but back OF both advances was and
still remains the important fact that
the motor industry Is just at the
beginning OF its greatest period of
prosperity.
The tobacco stocks behaved well
and the Street is beginning to real
ize that the great reorganization of
the industry has less to do with the
stock market than II has to do with
the physical handling OF the COM
modify.
The local fractions hit low levels
again. The fact that bonds are at
such extremely low levels is creating
much depression in the Street. but
that very depression is driving the
investors out of bonds into stocks,
where they hope to have a specut.-
tive chance to increase their princi-
pal.
That the leaders in finance think
liquidation has gone far enough at
the moment is proved by their plans
to bring out new securities. One i'm
portant fiotation will be announced
next week.

When in the spring and early sum-
mer the steamers from Europe
brought back to the United States
some OF the leaders in American in
dustry. banking and finance who had
spent some months In Europe IL was
observed that with one or two excep-
tions they spoke in terms Of despon-
dency. almost despair. Of the condi-
tions then existing in Europe.
1t has been observed. however. that
these gloomy forecasts and picturing
Of imminent peril, even that of bank
ruptcy. have been greatly modified re-
Gently. The nations are in confusion.
and in some places are saddened by
the results of carnage and the awful
devsstations Of war. But not one of
the European nations is now in peril
Of bankruptcy according TO the best
authorities nor can any nation be-
come bankrupt.
Mr.. Lamont is one OF those who
have brought back TO the United
States a message different from that
which was spoken by some OF our
most eminent financiers who re-
turned from Europe plunged in
gloom. Mr.. Lamont says that their
recovery is advancing far more rap
idly than almost every one in the
United States believes to be possible
John II. Patterson. OF Dayton.
Ohio. recently returned from a visit
to Europe. He was in conference
with some OF the represe ntative men
Of England. France. Belgium and
Germany.
He discovered that the Germans
are anxious that the maximum in
demnity be fixed Immediately and
not be left TO future negotiations.
The Germans want TO know exactly
what they must pay. SO that they
may be prepared to meet their obli-
cations. and. having done this. to
know that no further imposition OF
money penalty will be made upon
them. HOLLAND.
