til America signed a peace treaty
with Germany and said treaty was
ratified by the senate. One OF the
chief arguments against the Knox
resolution for a separate peace was
that only by a separate agreement or

questions as German property IN the

of the sinking Of the Lusitanla.

Rails Stronger,
But Industrial
Stocks Decline
Trading More Active ON
Market; Developments
Emphasize Troubles Be-
setting Financial World

The stock market yesterday pre-
sented distinct line of cleavage as
between the industrials and the rail-
way shares The former suffered again
severely and generally lost ground,
with many points of special weakness
where liquidation was still underway.
The rails, on the other hand, while not
particularly active, gave evidences of
good support and indications in a num-
Der OF the old line seasoned dividend
payers Of accumulation. Trading was
on a somewhat more active scale than
on Monday, with dealings running we'll
in excess Of 100000 shares.
Developments outside the stock mar
ket yesterday tended to emphasize the
difficulties besetting the industrial and
financial world as a result OF the wide
spread liquidation. From abroad came
cables announcing the suspension OF
large bank in Barcelona, Spain, where
conditions have been much upset by
the drastic fall in commodity prices
and heavy losses are being taken as
result of an over-speculatlon In the
foreign exchanges.
The chief development of direct in
terest so far as the stock market was
concerned was the passing Of the divi-
dend on the stock of the Anaconda Cop
per Mining Company. The company re-
Gently sold s25,O00,000 of bonds and in
view of the unfavorable position of
the copper industry the directors
deemed it best to conserve cash re-
sources, Another mining concern, the
United States Smelling REFINING
Company. made sharp cut in its reg
ular dividend yesterday. AS indicating
the depressed state Of the copper metal
market it became known yesterday that
copper for delivery in the first quarter
Of 1921 is being offered for sale IN
small amounts at 13 cents pound,
while metal for immediate delivery
has been sold at l2A cents.
Selling Of stocks at the exchange
converged upon certain of the motor
shares oils. textile. some of the steel
issues, and other shares of mis-
cellaneous description Crucible Steel:
which has been under pressure Of
liouidation for several days dropped
another 3 points. In the motor group
Chandler Motors stood out as a
prominent point of weakness. Rumors
Of new financing by Atlantic, Gulf &
West Indies accompanied the selling
IN that stock, which broke the price
to new low record. Among the
railway equipments New York Air
Brake rcceded to 66'a and closed at
20, off 6la points. Mexican Petroleum
and Houston were the onspicuously
weak spots in the oils. The Reading
issues and the Southern and Union
paciAcs were the leaders in the i'm
nrovement in the rails.
Cotton prices slumped violently,
prices for the different options break
ing below the IA cent level for the
frst time In the grain market prices
were slightly lower at the close. Weak
ness of exchange on Paris and Italy
wiz, lire falling to a new low. was
due t a heavier demand for dollars
from those quarters. On the other
hand sterling hardened. Call money
held at per cent throughout the day

In Wall Street
Expert Opinien On eueas

Edwin r. Atkins, formerly connected
with the American Sugar Refining Com
pany. In discussing tho present unset
tlement In the sugar market. says he
sees nothing In present conditions to
cause alarm regarding the future. un-
less through unwise efforts to inter
lero with economic laws by legislation
or otherwise either produc..>n or con-
sumption should be affected. "Cuba
has sufficient estates,7 the sugar expert
declares, (which have been conserva-
lively managed and are in sound finsn-
cial condition, and can easily obtain
any reasonable credit they may need
to fill all demands for consumption, so
there should be no uneasiness regard
ing supplies. It will be question Of
the survival Of the fttest and, with re-
duced production ano the increased
consumption which a,ways follow low
comm odity prices, gradually values
should improve, costs will be slowly
reduced where there is efficient man
agement and the sugar business re-
stored to paying basis under normal
conditions"

Now York Air Brake

Although the New York Air Brake
Company paid its last quarterly divi-

with the assurance that this rate will
be continued. heavy selling broke out
n the & stock s yesterdsy' ss wh,eh len carried carried
quotation of SO there was a net de-
cline for the day OF 61a points. In
view of the fact that the current con-
dit;on Of the company would seem not
to justify such a severe decline the
conclusion was reached that an i'm
portant holder had been placed in a
position where he had to sacrifice his
stock to obtain cash. 1t is estimated
that the air brake company this year
will earn about $40 a share on the
10000 600 stock outstanding. Sales
for 1920, according to an official. are
running. more than double what they

Market observers said yesterday tha.
there was further evidence of distress
selling in a number of issues, includ-

the day of IN points on a turnover
of only 400 shares. The common. in
which there is supposedly a substan-

the preferred stock exhibited such ex-

OF short account as possible source
