INDUSTRIALS HIT HARD

On comparatively light offerings
stocks on the Broad street curb moved
70 lower levels yesterday, closing the
day with losses ranging from one TO six
or more points. Selling was heaviest In
the latter part of the session, when
Jumps between sales were wider. Few
issues were spared from selling and with
only one or two exceptions the entire list
showed losses at the close.
Heaviest pressure was directed on
some OF the Industrial stocks which had
enjoyed substantial advances In the last
hull market. American Shipping and
Commerce fell more than three points
and Colonial Tire about six. Savold
Tire was lower on light trading, ana
losses of two or more points were SHOWN
In Allied Packers, Indian PACKING
Bethlehem Motors. Columbia Grapha-
phone and Union Carbide.
Midwest Refining suffered the largest
iospes in the independent oil group, fail-
ing five points. Trinity OIL was steady
An exception to the weak tone was Sea-
board Oil and Gas, which responded to
the report that two wells had brought
In n production OF 2,00Q barrels. and
the stock advanced more than a point. to
within q fraction OF Its high record.
Sinclair issues were weak. Middle
States was stendy.
Mining shares were rather quiet, but
weak also.
Wider movements were reported In
the bond section. Southern Railway

Corn prices broke sharply yesterday
after the drop In the foreign exchange
market. Options sold or 1A to

the session advanced. All three months
were cents under Saturdays close
about an hour before the end of trading.
with the heaviest pressure being exerted
on September The trade was bearish

which added to the many difficulties en-
countered In exporting. Support was
lacking again. Labor unrest with the
latest report, the possibility of strike
among the steel employees and the
broadening of the Governments activi-
ties to reduce the cost of living were
prominent factors in the decline.
The opening Of the sale Of the Gov

with nominal temperatures for the last
few weeks have caused many to revise
their earlier estimates of the new crop.
While receipts were small II Is generally

A decrease of almost 5000 bushels in
the corn visible supply was counteracted
by the soft cash position. The former
cash demand appears to have faded.
The action of the other markets influ-
enced corn. Trading was rather small.
Oats. after opening easier. weakened
in sympathy with corn and the other
markets. The decline in foreign ex-
change was felt in the oats trade, as 1t
precludes export talk Just now. Liqui-
dalton in oats was heavy. with the cash
demand slow. The visible supply fell
off. Notwithstanding the light country
selling the movement continues liberal.
Provisions were weak, pork dropping
$4.25 a barrel and lard and ribs more
than a cent a pound. Poor support, the
belief that food prices would go lower
and weakness in grain caused the de-
clines.

COTTON DROPS AGAIN,
WITH DEMAND WEAK
Foreign Exchanges Fall and
Other Bearish Factors Also
Affect Market.
BRITONS ARE SELLERS
Bullish Crop Advices Are
Ignored by Majority of the
Traders.

The cotton market was generally weak
and unsettled yesterday. rejecting the
power of bearish factors and an absence
Of local demand. Weather conditions
were virtually ignored in the face of the
weakness Of foreign exchange and the
sliding market for securities. Many
houses, however. received bullish crop
advices. Feeling both of ring and room
traders was decidedly pessmistic. The
which many hoped would appear in con-
siderable volume just at the 80 cent
level, did not make itself felt
Weakness in Liverpool, with cables

with British interests operating on the
bear side here. Although this selling
was not particularly heavy, 1t was per-
slstent. Spots in the British centre
were in slow demand at drop OF about
10 points, with sales Of 1000 reported.
The undertone to the contract market
was uncertain, prices closing rregularly
lower.
Weather conditions remained some-
what unsettled, the forecast calling for
showers and thunderstorms for this
afternoon and tonight for North Caro-
lima, with other Eastern States also
showery. Partly cloudy weather was
the prediction for the West Gulf States
An active market featured the opening
here, first sales being recorded at levels
81 to SIS points lower. october started
at 30.25 and broke quickly to 1905. with
other positions following. Fluctuations
were within a comparatively narrow
range, with no sustained buying power.
There was a good deal Of forced liquida-
ton, as holders of both stocks and cot
ton were called upon for more margin
The break In sterling, francs and lire to
a new low level for all times was soon
reflected in price movements.
Until the late afternoon the market
was never even near steady. The lowest
points of the season brought the list
almost IS of. Some occasional buying
was said to have been by brokers operat-
ing for japanese account The best rally
from the bottom was at the start of the
last hour. Shorts covered for profits and
old bulls probably took little on the
break below 80 cents. At the close the
active list was 40 to 81 points lower, with
spots also heavy.

SILK MEN PLAN
MILLS IN ITALY
Seek Thus to Offset Lack Of
Labor and High Wages
Here.

The establishment Of large silk manu-
featuring plants in Italy by American
capital Ia a possibility Of the near future.
according to reports current In the local
silk market. Some Of the most impor-
liant interests in the industry are said to
lie investigating the situation abroad, In
view Of the shortage Of labor in this
country and the continuous increase In
the cost Of production.
Reports Indicate that never before
have the silk mills been handicapped to
such an extent because of the lack Of
skilled workers. The exodus or thou
rands of Italians from the silk manu-
featuring centres since the end Of the
war has seriously affected the industry.
as many of these Italians were among
the highest skilled workers in the plants.
Manufacturers who suggest Italy as
q possible field for new American mills
point out that by establishing plants In
ttat country they would be able to at
tract large number OF employees
trained in American mills.
