PRICE REDUCTIONS
DEPRESS SECURITIES

NEW YORK, Sept. rs. Financial. =
Indications of general reduction of
commodity prices precipitated a SHARP
reaction among industrial shares on
the stock exchange this week. The
setback was especially noteworthy. be-
cause of the relative strength of low
priced rails.
Wall street believes that the new
price slashing movement is likely to
assume much wider dimensions than
the campaign OF last spring which was
limited largely to retailers. To the more
recent price revision were added sew
eral dividend reductions or absolute
suspensions, for example, that of the
Central Leather company.
Surveysgof the steel and copper trades
were of a less hopeful character opin-
ion apparently tnclining to an early
decrease of production in both indus
tries. with inevitable reduction of pre-
vailing price schedules.
Buying of the cheaper rails was ac-
companied by circumstantial reports Of
prospectice mergers or consultations.
These received scant credence in we'll
informed quarters, where the movem ent
was mainly attributed to speculative
interests.
Cau money was plentiful at z per
cent, although a few loans were made
at an advance of one per cent over that
quotation. Time money was increas-
ingly scarce and leading rates OF ex-
change failed TO reflect in the slightest
degree renewed assurances Of payment
OF maturity of the Anglo French loan.

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The cotton
market showed renewed weakness at
the opening today owing to declines re-
ported in Southern spot markets yes
terday and a continuation of the price
cutting movement throughout the coun-
try. First prices were LILO points lower
on November, which sold at 80 SOC on
the call and from 5 to As points lower
on the more active months. Near posi-
tions were relatively weak, while there
was a good deal OF covering In the later
months and scattered buying for re-
action after the big breaks earlier in
the week. This proved sufficient to
cause rallies of several points after the
call, but the tone of the market was
extremely nervous and unsettled. Oc-
opening break and January at 23.03c,
December and all later positions making
new low records
A cable from Liverpool reporting a
possibility of hitch in the postpone
ment of the strike notices, probably
promoted the early selling but there
was good deal of covering and some
fresh buying for a reaction was en-
couraged by reports that worsted mills
at Manchester, N. H., would resume OPP
erations on Monday after having been
idle since last July. Rallies met in
creased offerings with the South a
seller, however and most months made
new low ground later with December
selling at 23.25c and January at 22.70c.
The close was weak at a net decline
of 20 to 100 points, generally 30 to 70
points lower on the active months.
Futures closed weak at decline Of 90
to rs points.

RAPID DECLINE IN
CEREAL QUOTATIONS

CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-SwiftnessN rare
~ equaled has shown itself this week
in the descent of prices for grain and
provisions. Likelihood of huge yield
Of corn safe from frost led the way
and extensive slashing OF merchandise
values was also largely responsible.
Compared with a week ago, wheat this
morning was down lGk to 221zc; corn
3A TO 12aic; oats SIS n5Ac to G%c, and
provisions SIC to $l.6O.
All commodities dealt in on tho
board of trade except wheat begun to
fall in price when the prospect seemed
clear that chances OF calamity Of frost
damage to corn had nearly vanished
Subsequently big receipts Of wheat al
Winnipeg gave a severe setback to
wheat values, but the effect was quick
~ offset through immense eXoprt buy
ing of wheat. Price cutting on auto
mobiles and cotton and other articles
failed later to disturb bulls I'm wheat
until for the first time since 1917 corn
tumbled in value to less than 81 a
bushel on change here. Then agitation
against high cost of food counted hard
to shake the confidence OF holders Of
wheat and so, too, did European selling
of wheat here and shrnkage in de-
mand for flour.
