Price Setback
Continues on
Stock Market
Oil Shares Prove Vulncr.
able as Selling Pressure
Is Felt Again; Lack of
Constructive Items Factor

The movement Of industrial security
quotations to lower levels, which be-
gan on Wednesday, continued yester-
day. Against the efforts Of professional
speculators to make turns out of de-
Ginning prices. there was no sunaeiont
offset in heightened buying power, be-
cause of the indisposition Of outsiders
to take positions before the holidays,
and moro particularly because Of the
absence of unforeseen constructive
items In the budget Of che days news.
The financial district was q little
confused by the news from London re-
gsrding the termination Of the confer
ence between Lloyd George and BRAND,
and this uncertainty was sentimental
influence on the slight decline OF the
European exchanges and the easy tone
| in the stock market. In the decision
to have the Supreme Economic Council
take up the reparstfons discussion
early next month some observers saw
| a favorable development. The finan-
cial community is Of the opinion that
an adjustment Of the immediate eco
non,ic program in the Old World is
| necessary, and that a businesslike
handling Of the matter will come as a
breath OF spring air TO world trade.
In the financial district those who seek
to assess the significance Of the pass
ing show in world politics were less
favorably impressed with the reported d
disagreement between tho two pre-
miers on armament matters, but views
expressed were tentative since it is
understood that largo stakes are in
volved and developments are merely in
the formative stage.
Once mora the oil shares were espe-
cially vulnerable, chiefly because they
had been conspicuous in tho upturn
since October. Many Of the special
ties were easier, Too, and traders
seemed to select an objective in each
of the important groups of stocks. ,Thc
rails, which began their reaction more
than fortnight earlier, were steadier
though the final tone was slightly
easier. Even among the industrials
there was irregularity rather than con-
sistent weakness. Prices were lower
at the opening; then upward surgcs
followed under the leadership of

Call money at the opening brought

The reason for the slightly sitter tone
was essentially seasonal, and was re-
fected in the Federal Reserve Bank
statements, which reveal increased bor-
rowings on the part Of member banks.
Similar factors are operating to cause
slight recessions in the bond market.
which is also confronted by profit
taking sales and by the competition of
a huge volume OF new issues.
The commodity markets were quiet.
Cotton prices were IS points net lower
to 8 points higher, and wheat quota
tiors one-half to rs points net lower.

Cable rates on London fell rs cents
to S4.19ss, while French francs dropped
below cents. Swiss francs held

Royal Bank Of Canada

The annual report Of the Royal Bank
Of Canada, which has been sent to
stockholders of the institution, shows
net profits of $4,037 1886, compared with
S4,253,643 in the banks record year
of 1920. The liquid assets reported
are equal to 1851 per cent Of the total
liabilities to the public. Included i'll
liquid assets are actual cash, as rep
resented by gold, current coin. Domin-
ion notes and balances duo by other
banks, equivalent to 1853 per cent of
liabilities to the public. In the report
the fact is stressed that the bank has
been able to show profits almost equal
to its record year, despite the fact that
business conditions for some time past
have been unfavorable.

u. s. Steel Prices Cut

The reductions in prices just an
nounced by the United States Steel
Corporations American Steel and Wire
Company for wire products is a con-
tinuation Of a long-standing policy of
meeting competition. The cuts were
forecast last week, when lower quota
tions we're put into effect on pipe and
tubes. The new schedules of the wire
subsidiary carry wire rods at $39
against the former nominal level OF
$40 gross ton; plain wire at 1925 a
hundred pounds, compared with the
previous price of $3.50, and wire nails
at $3.50 against former price of $3.50
a hundred pounds. Should prices on
other products be officially reduced in
the near future, as now seems likely,
it would be only recognition of levels
now prevailing.

Babst Denies Reuort

Earl D. Babst, president of the Amer
ican Sugar Refining Company, yester-
day denied report that the common
pleas court in Philadelphia had fixed a
halfway price" for breach of con-
tract suit brought by the Franklin
Sugar Refining Company against Sam
uel Howell, of Philadelphia. It was
enormously stated, Mr.. Babst said, that
the court had fixed a price for the
sugar at 141a cents a pound, which was
half way between the contract price of
% IL cents and the Scent price which
prevailed when the contract was re-
rudiated. What the court actually de-
cided, he explained, was that the Frank
Ian Sugar Refining Company might keep
the disputed sugar and also collect
l4E cents Oh each pound--the differ
ence between the value Mt the time the
contract was broken and the price
named in the contract

OF the investment situation declared
yesterday that the ledge is of the

recent heavy outpouring of new crea-
tions at comparatively high prices has
begun to clog the machinery, and that
it begins to look as il the market is

Pennsylvania's Foreign Holdings

Foreign holdings of Pennsylvania
Railroad stock practically doubled in
November. On the first of that month
they represented 1T per cent of the
stock outstanding, while on December
l they were 2.92 per cent. A significant
feature Of the increase is that it was
the first turn upward since the war.
The gain, it was pointed out yesterday,
may nave been due either to rein
vestmcnt from abroad in foreign secu-
rites, which, however, cannot be done
on advantageous terms under the pre-
vailing rates Of exchange, or, what is
considered more probable, to a return
Of securities by the British commission
which mobilized English owned Ameri-
can securities during the war to
strengthen Americas credit here. In
July, 1914, foreign holdings of the
Pennsylvania made up 1888 per cent of
the outstanding stock, or about S75.-
100000. The downward movement be-
gan to be noticed most in July, 1916.
