S4CCINC. PRICES
IN LOCAL MARKET
Sharp Decline in National
Properties Co. Bonds-U.
6. I. Dipped to A

II was another day Of dullness and
sagging prices in the local market. Re
current dribbling liquidation developed
in different parts Of the list. whihc to-
gether with the extremely limited buying
power resulted in a general lowering of
prices.
Among the more conspicuous move
ments of the day was the extreme weak
ness of the National Property Co.'S 4 C
per cent bonds which were offered down
to 10, or nearly ) per cent under the
previous sale. This extremely low price
came in for more notice by reason of
the fact that the interest is being paid
on the bonds. and as yet there has been
no positive evidence of default. There
has been considerable talk on the street
for some time concerning proposed re
capitalization or reorganization of the
property. Up TO this time nothing
definite has been made known.
Other prominent features included
the renewed liquidation of Lake Sune-
rior Corporation stock, which yielded
to 10. and the fresh weakness Of United
Gas Improvement. which stock fell back
nearly 81 TO "A. In view of the Of
fetal assurances given concerning the
stability of the dividend, the fresh sell
ing was difficult, TO explain.
II was a case. however, Of a general
marking down of values as prevailed in
the other principal markets Electric
Storage Battery was offered more freely
again, with a decline of S1.75 10 III.
Light offerings carried Lchigh Naviga =
ton down 81 to e.. Philadelphia Elec-
trio had support at 24h. Union Trac-
tion lost 4 at SO. while American
Stores. American Gas and American
Railways preferred and York Railways
preferred were unchanged.

PRICES DIP AGAIN
IN SOFT MARKET
Evidence of Considerable Liqui-
dation to Protect Credit Posi-
ton by Mercantile interests

/ New York. May 13.-Whether from
meuts. or from dribblihg liquidation the
! trend of today's stock market was again
/ in the direction of lower prices. Lack
of buying power effected further
shrinkagc of quoted values in all parts
of the list. The opening was heavy and
prices continued to sag during the best
part Of the session. Sporadic rallies at
different intervals checked the down
ward swing. but the entire list again
conspicuously lacked sustaining power.
On the other hand the selling movement
continued extremely light on the down
side, Tho liQuidatng or selling move
ment apparently spent its force by mid
day and substantial recoveries, were
established from the lower leevls of the
morning. Trading. however, became
very quiet on the rebound, emphasizing
the limited character Of the demand
when the more pressing requirements of
the short interest were satisfied.
Overnight advices dealing with the
general industrial and financial condi-
tions were mostly Of character to give
renewed encouragement to the reaction
ary party. At the same time there was
clear cut testimony TO show there had
been lot of liquidation within the
last few days by interests who have
been obliged to liQuidatc security hold
ings in order to protect the credit po-
sition of their own business. This ap-
pareutly applied to many mercantile
lines. The sentimental effect. however.
of this evidence was partially Offset by
the comparative ease in which the mar
ket had absorbed these forced sales
without a greater depreciation in quoted
values. On the other hand. it served to
emphasize the seriousness of the strained
credit situation. which certain circles
of Wall street have seen fit to attempt
| to belittle.
During the earlier dealings selling
pressure continued to concentrate in the
steels, equipments. motors and textiles.
which continued during the first hour
| The investment rails also lost ground on
! the threats of new strike in the middle
| West. although there was a hopeful
| feeling in market circles this fresh un
rest would be nippcd in the bud by
| the brotherhood leaders. Commission
houses traced most of the selling, other
than that of professional origin to in
terror points where restricted credits
labor disturbances and reduced business
activity now prevail.
| Toward noon selling pressure auto
matically relaxed, which was. followed
by a general rally. led by the oils. in
which recoveries ran from to 3 points
The easy rebound in these favorites led
| to general covering movement and. in
consequence, gains of l to 21s points
over yesterdays final quotations were
made by Cruciblc Steel, Baldwin To-
comotivc. Rcplogle Steel American Car
and Foundry. American Woolen and
Corn Products. Additional backbone
was given to the rally by the full re
! covcry in United States Steel. In the
meantime call money opened at 5 per
cent.

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

New York. May 13.-~The coffee mar
ket opened easier at declines of Z to 10
points due, in a measure, to the easing
off in Rio, as indicated by the official
cables and reports of anxiety on the
part Of Rio shippers to move coffee.
Trading during the first hour was ex-
ceedingly quiet, operators and ring trad
ers awaiting developments. December
sold up points after the call. to 1445c
The action of Rio. where the trend Is
easier, has dampened the enthusiasm of
those inclined to buy here. Many of
those who have bought for months past,
and who have accumulated a large long
