STOCKS REVERSE
 THEMSELVES BEFORE SESSION IS ENDED
Clearing House Banks Con. tinue to Expand Their Ac- tuai Loans and Discounts
 on Account of Funds
By Associated Press

New York October l6--Stocks opened mainly at higher levels today, but be- fore the short session halfway ran it's course, selling of the industrials and spe- cialties caused a general reversal with P heaviness at the close
 The first and second preferred issues of the Reading road materially augment their recent gains, but was left of this advantage in the final dealings, although short covering helped to reduce some of the more severe losses.
 Steels. equipments, oils and shippings : were the centers of weakness at ex- treme declines of 1 to points 8 few speciaIties sustaining even greater losses. Trading was light at all times sales barely totaiing 2s5,003 shares.
 News of the day was almost wholly lacking in encouraging factors. Apart from the serious situation created by the strike of the British miners, which again served to depress exchange on London, domestic advices stressed increasingly backward conditions in many lines of industry, especially the textile trade.
 Clearing house banks continued to ex- pand their actual loans and discounts, this being foreshadowed by the week s heavy transfer of funds. Reserves fell off by almost s1O,00000o, leaving a lib- eral excess, however, as against the larg- est deficit of the previous fortnight.
 In the bond market Reading 1 per cent general issues moved upward with the preferred stocks and Liberty issues were steady to firm with nominal changes in other domestic and foreign banks. Total sales, par value. aggregated sS,650. .000 Old United States bonds were unchanged or call for the week.

BULL RAID PLACED GRAIN MARKET IN
 OVERbOUGHT SHAPE
Corn Drops Off as Result of Corn Industries Shutting Down on Account of
 Slack Business

Chicago, october 16.-The bull raid of yesterday placed the market for grain in an overbought condition today and the attempt on the part of longs to even up uncovered this fact Buying orders were insufficient to absorb the offer ings, which came mostly from longs and partly from hedgers in wheat At the finish wheat was A. to $ cents lower. with December $2.13 to s2131s. and March s2.07i to s2.071a. Corn was unchanged to 1ssc lower; oats were off skc to 7sc, and provisions ranged from unchanged to 75c down.
 Talk of investigation of charges on which Governor Allen of Kansas recent iy called for an embago against imports Of wheat from Canada, and which affect ed wheat prices yesterdy when word WIS received that President Wilson had taken up the matter, seemed to have been forgotten today. and the market was under pressure. Leading buyers of yesterday were on the selling side today. local mill bought 5000 bushels of Canadian wheat to come to this market and around 20 per cent of the, receipts at Minneapolis were said to be from Canada
 Corn was firm early. but broke sharp ly. Much of the selling was said to be the result of g. number of leading corn industries shutting down because of a slow demand for their products. Country offerings were larger and there were some sales for the seaboard.
 Oats followed other grains, the trade buying small and prices easily influ- enced.
 Provisions were unsettled. but held within comparatively narrow limits. the semi-monthly report on stocks showing a larger reduction in lard than expected.

WEEKLY METAL

New York, October 1e-That iron an1 steel products cannot compete abroad at this time as result of adverse ex- change and keen competition from Brit ish, Belgian and German sources was the opinion expressed in export circles lately Overseas demand, as with the trend in the domestic market is stagnant. Prices continue to look down, but more radical price cuts are held up by makers to pro- tect old contracts. Production is near normal and shipments as well, but new buying is 50 per cent lower.
 Foreign trade in pig iron has tapered down to almost insignificant proportions As with steel, buying of iron by both overseas and domestic consumers re- mains extremely dull and prices rule easy, though the decline has not been severe, as furnaces are sold far ahead Buying of coke is very light, but prices remain stiff, as car placements and ou.- put are much lower.
 The only business being done in cop per is by smaller agencies in the open trade who have cut prices to level be- low r cents. Buying is limited, as con. sumers appear to be well covered, ans the makers have withdrawn from the market temporarily, stating that they cannot compete with the low quotations without heavy losses. HroductlOn last month was reported to be at least Il 0o0.- 900 pounds below that in August, and further curtailment is expected this month.
 The critical development in the British coal strike has resulted in unusual de- pression here, enhanced by slack demand and large stocks, and the market went off to the lowest level since pre-war days-39 cents pound
 Lead continues weak owing to absence of business and growing importations. Holders offered lately at 7.40c pound here and lower in the west without takers. The leading interests still quote "A cents New York, nominally.
 Zinc like copper and tin, is in the dol- drums, with demand extremely slack and holders cutting prices daily without attracting buyers. Prices have slumped to 20 cents, East St. Louis, and 10 to Ia points higher in the east. Ore prices are also easy and the output is cur tailed as a result.
 Anthony is featureless and lack of in terest on the part of buyers has de- pressed prices to 6% cents.

COTTON GOODS REVIEW
By Associated Press

New York October 16.-Following the trend of lower prices in other com niodities the cotton goods markets for the last week have registered declines running far beyond anything ever known in the history of the trade As low as 10c was accepted for 3S1 E inch, GExS0s. that sold as high as 26c ill April.
 Today new price of 200 is an ncunced on fruit of the loom bleached nuslins, which is zoe a yard down from the high price in agents hands dur ing this year. Hope A muslins were cut to 17lsc yard, the top price hav- ting been S4c early in the year.
 It is now expected that the large printers of percales and prints will abandon the policy of protection on their goods and wide-open market is predicted when new prices are finally decided on, which may not be until later this month. One line of denims at s21ac, down from 47kc. is not ex- pectea to mark the low point, as other manufacturers are yet to be heard from.
 Trading has been very light in fin

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, October 16.-Cotton was depressed from the opening today by the coal strike In England, slufnping almost continually and showing no recuperative power, and reaching it's lowest on the close, which was weak at losses of 105 to 200 points October was the weakest month. falling 200 points to 1S.1 .10c, the full limit allowed to fluctuations in any one session under the rules of the cotton exchange. Heavy liquidation was felt. especially around missession, when an important long line was thrown over board. according to floor comment.
 Selling was further stimulated by the unexpectedly favorable weather map, but little rain being shown over the belt, while the forecast called for renewed dry weather in all states of the belt. Another bearish influence was the unfavorable tone of weekly reviews of trade in gen. eral. which spoke of business conditions the country over as lethargic.
 All months made new low levels for the season, and October fell to the lowest price yet quoted this season on "spot month. October was not particularly ac- tive, a few sales serving to break 1t but buyers were even fewer than sellers.

FURTHER SEVERE |. BREAK IN COTTON MARKET RECORDED
December Contracts Close at 18.60c, With General Lists Showing Net Decline of
 62 to TAO Points
By Associated Press

New York,SQctober 16.-There was a further and severe break in the cotton market today with all deliveries mak- ing new low records, December con- tracts sold as low as 1860 and closed at that level with the general lists closing weak at a net decline of 62 to 140 points.
 Nervousness over the British labor situation was increased by rumors that railway workers were likely to strike in support of the coal miners follow ing conference scheduled for Wednes- day. This doubtless contributed to the weakness of the market, which was also influenced by reports of continued or even greater depression in the goods trade at home and abroad. The main factor. however, according to local brokers. was the continued pressure of offerings from the south. There were larger spot sales in the Texas markets yesterday at new low record prices, With middling quoted below the 2oc level at one of the larger interior points, and much hedge selling report ec this morning came from that quar- ter. At the start orders were not badly divided, although first prices were IS to 90 points net lower on most months and there were slight bulges after the call. The recent buyers for a reaction appeared to have lost what little confidence they may have had owing to the continuance of general conditions and when slight rallies ran to increased southern selling, liquida- ton became active. Brokers with Wall street connections were particularly active sellers on the break, which ex- tended to 1S.4Sc for October; IS.2Sc for January, and 1S.35c for May. Last prices were at the low point of the day. Sales of print cloths at Fall River for the week were estimated at only 5000 pieces and curtailment of production there was reported the heaviest so far this season

Weekly Financial Review
By Associated Press

| By ASGOCkate0 fHe68 New York. October 16.-The week in the financial markets was replete with interesting events. which included payment of the greater part of the outstanding balance of the Anglo French half billion dollar loan and a strong investment inquiry for new capital issues approximating $10o, ,0o0. .0oO.
 No less important in their bearing upon the immediate future of the securities markets were the many sur face indications that the prolonged pe- riod of credit contraction Is approach ing natural conclusion. It Is almost a year that the federal reserve board began to put the brakes on speculation by the steady with
 drawal of funds for non-essential pur-
 poses That period has witnessed a
 drastic revision of commodity Srices
 and reduction of loans with inestima bie
 benefit it is claimed, to finance an industry.
 Further price cutting and a strength
 ening of the investment situation con
 tinue to go hand in hand, taking this weeks bond market as a criterion Dealers reported a marked increase in private or unrecorded sales of high grade bonds on an ascending scale. Tn the stock market rails of all classes again were the dominant issues.
 Shares of recognised worth moved to higher levels. especially the coalers. while low grade or reorganized prop critics gained ground. mainly on their potential values.
 It is highly probable that discussions of absorbing interest will engage the attention of leading producers at the conferences of the American Iron and Steel Institute to be held in this city the latter part of the coming week
 The reactionary trend of foreign ex- change was governed chiefly by the more ominous aspects of industrial conditions in the British Isles. Nod crate selling here for Amsterdam &C., count results from financial readjust- ments now proceeding in the Nether- lands.

however, is that many far-sighted cotton goods houses are buying on the scale down The weather under ordinary con- ditions should support the market, but outside conditions are more potent than the growing crop.
