Selling Gains
In Irregular
Stock Market
Industrials Rise Strongly
in Early Dealings Or
Sustained Buying, bu,
Trend Is Lower mt Close

Realizing sales and professional SELL
| ing gave the stock market an Irregular
appearance yesterday after an early
display of pronounced vigor. At the
outset the momentum Of advancing
prices carried further at the exchange.
Industrials rose buoyantly in response
to active and we'll sustained buying
| during the early hours. The rails, how
ever, Jagged behind, and in the after
noon the whole list came under the
pressure of increased offerings, with
the result that the closing price range
was most uneven.
The average price Of twenty repre-
sentative railway shares closed yes
terday afternoon at 65.25, compared
with $3.50 the previous day. The aver
age Of thirty industrials closed at 68.77,
compared with $3.50 on Tuesday. With
all tho irregularity in the price move
ment sentiment in the Street continued
extremely cheerful. The professional
element was talking Of technical re-.
action and offerings from this quar-
ter were put out to test the market
position.
Developments bearing upon the mar
ket in speculative and investment Sc
curities were mainly Of constructive
character. From the steel trade came
the most optimistic reports in weeks.
An advance Of So to So ton in prices
Of the American Wire and Steel Com
pany, effective this week, is noted as
a reflection Of changing conditions in
the industry and breaks the long sue
cession Of declines in steel products.
All Of the leading companies showed
increased shipments on contract in
August. Inquiries from railroad quar-
tiers for steel products is expanding,
while the market in basic pig iron
shows a better tone. While it is yet
too early to say that the steel in
dustry has turned the corner. tho evil
dences Of improvement are sufficient
to generate optimism with regard to
the future.
The cotton market experienced q
series Of erratic fluctuations yester-
day, with December contracts rising
sharply above 90 cents at one time.
Subsequently there was a severe de-
cline below that level, followed by an
other recovery, and the close was just
above that figure. The government
census report on domestic cotton con-
sumption for August revealed an esti-
mate of 467,1o3, against 41o,12o in
July. indicating increasing activity in
the spinning industry.
IN, fvor7
breaking below 7 cents, was the
outstanding development In the market
for foreign currencies. German marks
dropped to 02-10o Of cent, duplicat-
ing the low Of Monday. The decline in
francs Is associated with the severe
fall in marks, which has given rise to
predictions of financial collapse in
Germany, development thst might
make it impossible for the German
government to meet its future renara-
tons obligations. Sterling exchange
rates were also eosier yesterday.

Merger Rumor Revived, Then Denied

The rumor market offered the yarn
yesterday that merger was impending
between the Pere Marquette and New
York, Chicago e. St. Louis Railroads,
and that as one of the previous steps
the Nickel Plate" would soon have
representation on the Pere Marquette
board. When the rumor was brought
to the attention of e. r. Brown, chair
man of the latter road, he said that it
was absolutely without foundation so
far as his knowledge went. Some
weeks ago considerable publicity was
given of report that the Delaware,
Lackawanna G. Western was planning
to absorb the two lines involved in the
latest rumor. This was denied by
Lackawanna officials. Those thoroughly
conversant with railroad conditions are
of the opinion that the day Of mergers
is still a long way off. 1t is to be
remembered that the report on this
subject prepared by Professor Ripley,
of Harvard, for the Interstate Com
merce Commission, has not yet been
made public.

Three weeks ago the trend Of market
prices turned definitely upward and the
advance aimee that time has been going

was only natural then that the market
would sooner or later have to stand

by traders who thought the rise had
gone far enough. This was in evidence
yesterday, and although pools and
spectators who believe that the mar
ket will go still higher were able to
bring about a strong rally near the
noon hour selling pressure began to be
felt in the later dealings and by the
close the trend Of prices vas down

tions, however, was irregular because
of the early strength in number Of

ton is still far below normal, however,
is indicated by the 11.26s,oo0 pounds
turned out in August, 1920. This was
more than 100000 pounds more than
was produced in the corresponding
months of 1919 and 100000 pounds

Reth,ehem Steel at 80 Per Cent

The Bethlehem Steel Corporation, 1t
was stated yesterday, is now operating
it's steel plants at around 80 per cent
of capacity, compared with low of 70
per cent in July. Volume Of new bust
ness, while still far from normal, 1t
was. said, is more steady and the out
look for the final quarter of the year
is more encouraging than was indi-
Gated several weeks ago. In the first
half of 1921 Bethlehem Steel was the
only large steel company to earn its
common dividend. 1t is generally ex-
pected that when the board meets the
latter part OF October the regular
quarterly disbursements of * per
cent will be declared.

Chilean Loan Reports

Reports were in circulation yester-
day of negotiations for a $25,0o0.00
loan to Chile. Investment bankers
said such loan would probably go

sufficiently attractive to the American
investment public. Last spring Chile
placed 24,000,000 per cent twenty
year loan, which was arranged by the
so-called South American banking
group. This group has since been dis
solved by mutual agreement, but it is
understood to be in a position as a
result Of its first Chilean commitment
to have first call on any further bust
ness that may originate in that quar-

: Declaration by the Great Northern
directors of the regular quarterly divi-

the company's treasury to meet the

next, total of s17,462, 800. During
the first seven months Of 1921 the
road failed to earn its operating ex
penses, hence the action of the board
on Tuesday may be considered as a
testimonial of the directors faith in
the future. Earnings of $1,187,9S5 in
June and $1,O73,147 in July were
notably better than in the previous
months, reducing the net operating
deficit for the year to $53S,012. Great

cial) Mrs. Edna Margaret Burt,
wife No. of Claude Burt, arrested
upon a charge of bigamy, is now will
ing to drop the charge against her
husband if he will return and live
with her.
This was made known when Mrs.
Burt communicated these facts to
Attorney Farrell The matter is now
up to Oakland authorities, according
to Farrell, and whether Burt goes free
or is prosecuted is entirely up to
them.
Although Mrs. Burt is willing to
take her husband back, his local con-
sort, Mrs. r. Luke, told the officers
she believes Burt loves her better
than his second wife. Farrell inter-
viewed Mrs. Luke and says the
woman told him she is through with
Burt.
Burt confessed he deserted wife No.
