RECENT UPHEAVAL

Rumor in Market of Complete
Change in Control of Sew.

NEW YORK. November 27.-Ap.
preaching the fnal month of an
eventful year. the stock market this
week continued it's process OF de-
nation. but in a more orderly man
ner than that shown by the COM
modify markets. Tho extensive liqui-
oatlon OF the previous three weeks
seemed to have spent its force in ali
save some of the speculative shares,
, these being chiefly represented by
, Sshlppings, oils and steels, where new
levels were reached.
II rumor and gossip are to bs
credited. the recent upheaval COM
pletely wiped out numerous accounts
OF bull cliques and coteries and in
cloentally brought about a change of
control or ownership in several of
the prominent industrial properties.
Sounder Technical Position.
The technical position of the market
Is believed to be infinitely sounder for
the severe depreciation of quoted
values. while bank loans to brokers
are said to be smaller by at least
| $500, 100000 than the aggregate of a
! month ago.
Money rates for virtually all forms
of accommodation are quotedIy and

Loan to Cuba Hangs Fire.
With one exception, the sale of
$25.0O0,0 900 of Canadian Northern
Railway bonds which found a ready

capital offerings to investors. A pro

STEEL REDUCTION
/ MARKET FEATURE
Large Independent Concern
Announces New Selling
PriCeS-Other Metals.

= The feature of the steel market this
week was the adoption by the largest
independent interest of new selling
prices. effective Immediately. on bars,
structural shapes and plates, in Pitts
burgh. The reduction brings these
commodities down to the basis es-
tablished by the industrial board.
March 21, 1919. Lack of demand and
lower prices for coal and coke are
held responsible for the adjustment.
There appears to be little present
inquiry for anything but line pipe
and castings. While no reduction in
wages was mentioned, 1t Is believed
that a general readjustment of labor
conditions must follow sooner or
later.
Pig Iron Drops.
Pig iron also has experienced fur
ther downward adjustments in
prices and reflects the same lack of
confidence which exists in other
commodities. Buyers refuse to meet
producers prices, re-sellers continue
to supply much of the demand and
more small furnaces have blown out
on account of lack of orders.
The copper market has shown no
Improvement. The reported curtail-
ment of output has failed to create
any general buying interest, and the
feature of the week was the sale by
local dealers of a million lot OF cleo
trolytic at IA cents, refinery. Later,
there were rumors Of a sale Of half
a million pounds at 13% cents.
While not regarded as establishing
a general market basis, these re-
ports probably increased the dispo-
sition Of other buyers to hold on.
Boston reports that one of the min
ing companies there has decided to
curtail production to about 400 600
pounds monthly. against a normal
output of about 100000 pounds.
Other Metals Reviewed.
Tin quiet. with leading dealers not
pressing sales, which results in mod
crate firmness on spots.
Further weakness is noted in lead
for lack of orders, and sales under
cents have been reported here.
Zinc reflects continued dullness and
a further easing of values. due. In
part, to weakness in London and
the unsettled exchange market.
Large stocks should soon be reduced
by the drastic curtailment in prog
ress, and it is believed much Of the
supply is now in fairly strong hands.
Antimony dull and easy, with
rumors Of offers at concessions, fol-
lowing weakness in London.
