FACTORS THAT UPSET
THE STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, February 7.-An un-
precedented crash in foreign exchange
call loans as high as 25 per cent and
sitter rates for the more necessary
forms of financial accommodation
were the central features Of this
weeks turbulent and reactionary
stock market.
The collapse of international credit
quotations brought export conditions
to a standstill for a time and excited
the gravest misgivings respecting the
foreign trade movement. This was
heightened by rumors of embargoes
on various exports from this country,
especially cotton.
Selling of stocks represented a mix
ture of enforced liquidation and bear
ish pressure, the former probably
predominating. Banks withdrew funds
to meet government payment and
other usual sources of supply were
closed to speculative accounts.
Extreme reactions for the week
ranged from 10 to As points in a wide
variety of stocks. especially oils,
motors, equipments and shippingn

marked the course of foreign ex-
change. Reports that leading steel
mills have sufficient orders to run at
full capacity for home consumption
into the second and third quarters Of
the year ELECTED little interest.
Reactions in some Of the important
commodity prices. such As cotton. pro-
visions and cereals, were in keeping
with stock market losses, but opinion
prevailing that much remains Ito be
done II foreign exchange is to be even
partially stabilized.

William B. Colver Of the Fedora
Trade Commission explains that that

this device is not forced upon busi-

means. that the very worst that could
happen would be that the business
concern would be put back in the
same position as it was before it had
invoked the aid of Mr.. Steele's device

said, would bring to American busi-

thug was killed near here when he at
tempted to hold up three negro work
ers. The thug drew his gun and told
the workers they would have to be
searched They asked for his warrant
and the thug began firing at the feet
of his intended victims. One of the
negroes killed the thug
The thugs circulate among miners
the night following pay days and on
various pretexts arrest them and then
fleece them out Of their earnings under
threats Of failing them The foreign
workers and negroes are usually the
victims.
This practice is bat one of the
many outrages perpenated by coal

Of Coal Commission Reject
ed by President

Washington The president has re
fused to accept the back pay decision
of the majority members of the an
thracite coal commission, and he also
notified the miners that they must
abide by the commissions award.
The back pay decision provided that
FIVE months back pay should be paid
by the coal owners in five semi
monthly installments The president
said that the back pay and the man
ner of its payment was no part Of
the commissions jurisdiction because
when he appointed the commission he
stated that the award would be retro
sctive to April L.
The majority award carries an av-
erage wage increase of II per cent
The workers demanded q per cent
A group of these workers held rump
convention, excluded their officers and
notified the president that they would
strike if further advances were not
granted The president Informed the
miners that they entered into the
arbitration proceedings "and | shall
expect the anthracite mine workers tc
accept the award and carry it into
effect in good faith"
