Stock Market
Under Pressure
Of Realizing Sales
Acute Railway Labor Situa-
tion Induces Many Hold
ers of Stocks 10 Take the
Profits: Bank Statement

4 Realizing sales were fairly heavy IL
the stock market again yesterday, and
explained in measure the highly ir-
regular tendency in prices. Spectators
who had profits did not like the idea of
carrying large lines Of long stock over
Sunday, particularly In face of the rail-
road labor situation. Accordingly, Of
ferings from this quarter came into the
market in quite steady volume during
the two hour session, forcing INF most
stocks moderate rccessions.
The selling which extended to most
parts of the trading list, however, did
not prevent pronounced advances in a
number OF. special issues. The sugar
group was especially strong, continu-
ing the movement of earlier in the
week, and stocks like American Sugar,
Manati, Cuba Cane Sugar and Punta
Allegro showed net gains of a point or
more. Cuban-American Sugar advanced
Is points, to $40. While the railway
equipment shares as group came un-
der the pressure of week lend profit
taking, Pressed Steel Car moved sharp
~ against the current. in response to
rumors of an impending increase in the
dividend. Steel shares held well unit
the last few minutes of trading, when
in the case of United States Steel com
mon several large blocks were thrown
upon the market, causing a decline OF
almost a point. Railway issues re-
manned in the background.
The most important piece of routine
news yesterday was the monthly ton
mage statement of the United States
Steel Corporation, which showed that
at the end of March the untitled orders
on the books Of the company totalec
9,S92,01 tons, an increase of 1888, 1914
An increase of about this amount hac
been expected, in view of the steady
inflow of orders, combined with the
fact that deliveries were still far be-
hind normal during March.
Despite the further large arrivals Of
gold from England last week, the New
York Federal Reserve Bank reported
in it's statement yesterday loss OF
approximately S25, 100000 in gold hold
ings as a result of transactions with
institutions in other districts. Mainly
as result of this drop in gold re
serves, the ratio Of reserves to liabili
tics of the bank declined from 42.2 tt
al per cent The New York Clearing
House banks reduced their loans last
week by $4,000 900, while surplus re
serves declined $10,000,00O

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

The new crash of Belgian and
French francs and lire to the lowest
levels in history in the foreign ex-
change market during the last week
have emphasized the rift between
British and continental exchanges. Al
though sterling showed loss of a
cent and half during the last week,
it remained near it's high level tanned
the week before, and international
bankers continued to express optimism
regarding the position of the mark in
international exchange.
The sensational break in francs and
lire emphasized the difficult economic
position of those countries. Bankers

through the sale Of francs and lire.
New York followed London in its quo
tations on lire and francs At the close
of the week, the precipisate decline
was unchecked. Meantime, despite the
grave difficulties confronting Germany,
the mark was strong, and showed q
substantial gain for The week.
In commenting on the international
exchange situation, the Swiss Bank
Corporation, of London, says, in its
annual review, just received in this
country, "Steadiness of the exchanges

lated money during the war has again
proved that gold is the only sound
basis for monetary and banking sys-

by at least six months. That Is, the
stocks we are offering to our trade
now were purchased on an average of
SIX months ago at prices below those
row being asked by the wholesalers.
The retailers stocks, based on actual
cost, are fully Is to 25 per cent below
replacement value at present. A drop
OF this amount in wholesale circles will
allow the retailer to come out even. A
further drop will subject him to act
ual loss, since he would have to figure
his goods on replacement costs. A con-
tlnuation of present prices for a per-
lod OF six months or q year is fraught
with danger, since by that time the re-
tallers' stocks will have cost him the
peak price. In other words he will
have caught up to the wholesale
market then, and any drop in price
would mean loss to him."
With this situation in mind. added
the merchandise man, retailers are
JUSTIFIED In approaching wholesale
markets in a most conservative man
ner. He believed that NOSE retailers
are trying to reduce their stocks at
present, and are placing orders for
future delivery on as small basis as
possible. He also asserted that con-
sumers are beginning to complain Of
high prices more frequently and in
many cases are refusing to pay them.

Steel's Untitled Orders
Increase 389, 1914 Tons

Untitled orders amounting to ,ss2,o75
tons were reported yesterday by the
United States Steel Corporation to be
on its books March 81. This was an
increase of 3S9,994 tons over the book
ings shown at the end Of February.
and was the greatest tonnage reported
since January 81, 1917.
The gain in the untitled orders last
month compared with an increase Of
216,64o tons In February, l,o2o,O75 tons
at the end of January and 1.137,136
tons on December 81. The smaller In
creases reported in February and
March may have been due to the dis
inclination of the corporation to take
on new business too far in advance.
Last month the mills of the corpora
ton are understood to have operated
at approximately 80 per cent of capac-
ity, in which event about 100000 tons
of commitments were worked off the
books. This meant that new business
for the month was around 100000
tons.
