The Wall Street security market
started Just one year ago to discount
the changing OF condition in the i'm
dustrial world from a war inflated,
big profit era. to a peace basis ac-
companied by general deffation. Now
that this transition has become of n
sweeping character. accompanied BY
tight money and unsettled financial
and political conditions in Europe,
the shock has been too great for the
sensitive nature Of the great market
for investment securities. The New
York Stock Exchange has witnessed
some stormy sessions recently, with
drastic declines in many seasoned is
sues of known merit. 1t is now time
for the investor to give his attention

strike or concerted holding attitude
was launched. which enabled the bulls
to make some headway for a time.
The bears contended that deflation
was in progress in all commodities
and wheat was tagging behind the
general procession to lower levels;
that action OF the farmer in holding
his grain and speculative buying
could not defeat economic conditions
which were world wide. The inde-
cisive trend of prices demonstrated
that neither side had the best OF the
argument up to election eve.
| At the tap OF the gong the morning
after election day, liquidation was in
evidence and values began to sink. be-
fore the close a net loss of five to six
cents was registered. For six conse-
cutive sessions wheat was on the to-
boggan. suffering more drastic de-
clines from day TO day. About every
thing OF a depressing character was
in evidence. The bull element were
completely routed as the decline pro-
4 gressed by rapid stages. On the sew

TONS sharp rebound took place,

the rally lasted just one day, liquida-
ton appeared with renewed persist

the decline in wheat has been nearly
forty cents buchel. and a total fall
since July of one dollar bushel
while corn. oats, rye and barley have
suffered in proportion.
