MARK DOWN INVESTMENTS
Banks to Make Reductions Until
Bonds Reach Market Value

Washington, June l7.-EXaminers
making their rounds are complying with
ar order Of the comptroller of the cur
rcncy. issued some weeks ago directing
that at least rs per cent Of the as,...
gate depreciation on all classes OF
securities. exclusive of those OF the
United States be required to be charged
on during the examination Of national
banks unless there should appear to be
good reason for reducing this per-
centage.
Banks are being advised that In addi-
tion to charging off IS per cent as In
dicated above, they should make periodi-
cal reductions until all the bonds are
carried at their market value
Some time ago the comptroller issued
instructions to national bank examiners
that they need not require national
banks to mark down the prices at which
they are carrying Liberty bonds and
victory notes below the bona fide pur-
chase price paid for them. The banks
are not permitted however, 10 carry
these bonds on their books at prices

LOCAL DEALINGS

Thinness of Market Reflected

Extreme dullness and narrow f1uctu-

which. however. was to be expected in
view of the money market conditions
and the apathetic state of tho other Sc
curity markets. Further dribDiing sell
ing orders, however, caused fresh frac-
tional shading Of prices keeping the
greater part Of the list within shadow
of the low prices Of the year.
AS naturally would be expected, under
existing circumstances, the market re-
mains very thin. This was strikingly
illustrated today in the So decline in
Little SChuylkill to 3S. With the mar
ket for the usually active shares great

demand for inactive issues is very linn

CRUC|B[E SLUMP
CHILLED MARKET
Cessation of Pool Activities
Brought General Lower
ing Of Prices

New York, June 1T.--Today's stock
market in its general characteristics diff.
fcred but slightly from the immediate
preceding Sessions. except that there
was a perceptible lcssening of pool ac-
tivities in various industrial special
ties and increasing irregularity in price
movements.
The outstanding development was fur
nished in the big slump Of over seven
points in Crucible Steel. on the over
night announcement of the stock divi.
dcnd Of 16 2-3 per cent. and the reduc-
tion in the cash dividend from a IL to
an per cent per annum basis.
The reactionary party took advantage
Of the selling of Crucible to raid the
entire list. The drives. however. while
bringing a general lowering Of quota
tions. apparently again signally failed
to dislodge any considerable amount of
long stock To the contrary. the whole
list became intensely dull on the de-
Clines, with the market virtually coming
to a dead standstill by midday.
While the stock market was inclined
to mark time fresh weakness develop
din the commodity markets. with
breaks of 30 to 40 points in cotton. On
the other hand, quotations in foreign
exchange were noteworthy for the
marked strength of remittances to Lon.
don, demand bills approximating 81 to
a pound. Call money market remained
relatively easy. loans renewing and
loaning at per cent.
When the pools and speculative com
binations ceased their bullish tactics
the market fell back into the old
familiar apathetic rut, indicating a
closer adherence on the part of the more
influential interests to stand pat on the
watchful waiting policy until some Of
the uncertainties of the general situa
ton clear up. At the same time the
relative steadiness of prices around
the current level would seemingly indi-
cate the market to be in a thoroughly
liquidated condition, in the phraseology
of the street sold to a standstill. The
recent backing and filling process carried
little significance except the scalp
ing operations of the room trading con-
tingent.
The Crucible Steel break indicated
that the traders continue to construe
stock dividends as bearish. This was
further attested in the two point de-
cline in United Retail Stores on the an
nouncement of the per cent stock
dividend by that company. The selling
movement, however, extended to the re
lated industrials also oils, motors. to-
baccos and textile shares, resulting in
reversals extending from one to over
two points. The shipping shares and
the railroads were less susceptible to
pressure. Several Of the chemical shares
rallied before noon, but the general list
remained dull and heavy.
Stagnation was most pronounced in
the final hour, few leaders including
United States Steel and Baldwin re-
acting moderately.

GRAIN MARKET

Chicago, June 17.-Cool and showery
weather in the belt and recessions IN
the cash article aided the bears in corn
today and futures generally were weak
er. although prices again pursued an
crrstic course. Local operators were
bearish most Of the day and sold. while
some Of the important professionals,
belped by commission concerns, fur-
nished support. The start was easier
under scattering selling, the moisture
being regarded as beneficial for the grow
ing crons. Later there was full re-
covery on the theory that not enough
grain would be moved to eliminate
premiums Of the cash article. Shorts
In July showed some uneasiness during
the morning, and bulls contended that
the TRANSFORMATION situation was still the
main governing influence and would be
for some time.

later declined l to 2 cents, shipping

at terminal points, but are liberal at

Oats were irregular and followed the
trend of corn. Trade was mostly local.
The start was lower under selling pres
sure from nit traders and scattered com
mission houses, induced by ideal weather
for the crop. Later the losses were re
covered on buying by commission houses
