Prices Drop to
New Low Levels
I'm Erratic Market
Slump in Stocks Continues
With Rails Showing Weak
ness; Cheap Money Fails
to Prevent Heavy Selling

Liquidation continued steadily dur
ing yesterdays session on the Stock
Exchange. The market was erratic. but
the feeling Of panic which prevailed at
the close Tuesday was not so much in
evidence. Prices Of the more active
stocks fell to new low levels for the
year and most of them closed with sub
! stantial losses.
In the early trading the industrials
were relatively strong and it seemed
for time that the long expected rally
might be about to materialize. Bur
then the rails became exceedingly weak
under heavy selling and this turned the
whole list downward. Selling of the
raiis was attributed to uncertainty as
TO how the legislation now pending will
work out. There is general uncertainty
! as to this, aud good many students of
the bill place an extremely bearish
construction on tho guarantee" fea-
ture. asserting that it really Is not .
guarantee at all.
that. the liquidation had produced a
condition in which the money and cx-
change situations are no longer the
dominating influences. Money renewed
at 8 per cent and later was offered
freely at per cent. while exchanges
were stable. Nevertheless buying orders
of any great Importance failed to
materialize while selling was unchecked
In the opinion of competent observers,
the market is simply discounting an
expected depression in business. One
veteran broker likens the current
movement 10 the silent panic" of 1903,
when prices fell for a considerable
period without wide-open break
There was good deal Of short COW
ering from time to time, but not enough
to change the trend except for brief
periods, for each rally brought out
fresh selling in volume sufficient to
carry prices down to new low ground.
The market was weakest right at the
end, but this apparently was due to
a concerted drive by the bears rather
than to any material increase in offer
lngs of long stocks. 1t is said that the
forced liquidation of certain extensive
holdings has about been completed and
for this reason good many traders are
inclined to look for a good rally

Franklin on l. Nj. Nj.

Mercantile Marine issues suffered
with the rest of the market. The pre-
ferred was particularly hard hit, clos
ing at 78 at the bottom, off more than
points. Even the statement put out
by P. A. S. Franklin, president of the
company, did not aid in stemming the
tide of selling orders. "The passenger
movement is very strong and salts
factory" he said. at is true that
the freight market is easier, and
there is less traffic moving, which is
largely due to the exchange situation.

earnings of the International Mercan-

of these stocks at the recent hichs at

The Scarcity of Crude Oil

This week the Shipping Board au-
thorities opened bids for fuel oil at
Washington. Only one bid was received
and that came from the Mexican Petro-
leum Company. 1t was rejected be-
cause, according to report, the price
was too steep. 1t is stated in oil trade
circles that the reason other bids were
not turned in was because production
in Mexico is far under normal and
there is an actual shortage of fuel oil
News from San Francisco Yesterday
told of a shortage of crude oil pro-
duction in that region which may re-
suit in deficiency Of 100000 barrels
this year. The Standard Oil Company
of California has issued instructions
to all its agents to take no contracts
for the sale of fuel oil without re-
ferring to the home office in Frisco. At
the same time it has been decided that
expectations of refined products, already
materially curtailed, shall be kept at
minimum and be only such as to meet
the company's contractual obligations.
Crude oil production in California" ;"
says E.. R: Kingsbury, head of the
Standard of California, "is not suffi
clent to meet the demands. In view of
the shortage existing, the company has
increased the prices it offers for re-
Unable crude. The remedies are in
creased production and importations
and, to lesser extent, conservation
and the elimination of waste
