Stock Prices
React After
Recent Gains
Decline ON Theory That
Setback Was Due Hits
Most All Securities; Call
Money Rate Is Lower

Reactionary tendencies predominatcd
at the Stock Exchange yesterday, where
the course of speculative security prices
was generally downward. The efforts
of the professional trading element
were exerted mainly in favor Of lower
prices on the theory that despite the
more cheerful trade reports the market
was due for natural setback in view
of the extent Of the recent recovery.
Unsettled conditions obtained in the
commodity markets, as we'll as in
stocks, and both cotton and wheat lost
ground in the course of the days trad
ing. The December option in cotton
moved close to the 20-cent level, but
reacted at the close. Wheat fuctuated
erratically- and finally left off with
substantial net losses.
There were few exceptions to the
downward trend in prices in the stock
market. The average price of thirty
industrial stocks receded from 68.77 to
67.93, and twenty rails lost about half
point in the average. News develop
ments were without direct bearing upon
the market, which lent strength to the
theory that the setback was based
mainly upon technical considerations.
Some significance was attached to the
fact that as the market yielded the VOL
ume of business fell off. Dealings at
the exchange were only slightly in ex-
cess of the half million share mark.
More favorable news came from the
steel industry yesterday in the form of
an announcement that all of the inde-
pendent steel manufacturers have ad-
vanced the price Of steel sheets $5 a
ton. Earlier in the week the United
States Steel Corporation marked up
the price of steel wire.
Call money rates dropped to the
lowest level since the end of AUGUST.
with liberal offerings on q Az per cent
basis. In the afternoon the rate hard
ened to per cent. There has been a.
temporary accumulation of funds at
TINS center in connection with the
heavy September Is operations of the
Treasury, which probably explains the
easier money position. Collateral time
N~~--S AOA ASA CS-ilfC uAyS were MADE
Yesterday on a 51a per cent basis. The
Federal Reserve system in it's weekly
statement of condition disclosed an ad
vance from 66.2 to 67.5 per cent in it's
ratio OF total reserves to deposit and
Federal Reserve note liabilities com
bined. Member bank borrowings in
the system at large were reduced ap-
proximately $80,0O0,0O0 during the last
week measuring the further liquida-
ton in bank loans throughout the
country. In the New York district
alone the reduction in member bank
borrowings was in the neighborhood
of S5O,000,000. The local banks ratio
rose from 1928 to 757 per cent.
In the foreign exchanges the prin-
clpal outstanding development was the
fresh fall in German marks, which
were quoted at the low of 9O-l00 Of
cent, new low record. Sterling and
francs were higher.
New-York tribune., 1921-09-16
Germany Buying Less Copper

The decline in the value of the mark
to new low records during the last
week has adversely affected the export
copper market. Germany has bought q
small tonnage from dealers in London,
but practically nothing from American
producers during the last week. Jap
anese demand has also quieted down.
Most all of the producers" says "The
Engineering and Mining Journal" "are
optimistic, however, and almost every
one is quoting from 1925 to 1916 cents
delivered. By diligent shopping around
it has been found possible to secure
copper at 1875 cents delivered for Sep
tember, and small lots have been sold
at that price. One buyer is reported
to have been in the market for 1000
tons in the last day or two, and to have
practically cleared up the market Of all
copper held at less than 1926 cents"

In Wall Street
Heavy Shifting of Funds

Heavy shifting Of banking funds oc-
Cured yesterday in connection with
the extraordinary September 15 opera
tions Of the government. They in
cluded among other things the ma
turity of more than $500,000,000 Of
Treasury tax certificates, the disburse-
ment Of some $30,000000 in interest on
government war bonds and certificates,
the collection of the third quarterly
installment on account of Federal in
come taxes and the closing Of SUBJ
scriptions on the latest issue Of $780,
100000 of Treasury notes and certifi-
Gates. It was announced at the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of New York on be-
half Of the Treasury that the new is
sue had been heavily oversubscribed
and the books closed.
Studying the Reaction
Market observers who still favor
the constructive side Of the market
we're not discouraged by yesterday s
general reaction in stocks. They fig
ured that a downward swing was due
before the advance was resumed, and
that the next upturn would be bene-
fted by the heavy volume of short sell
ing which has been going on by traders
who are still unconvinced that an ad-
vance is justified by business and
economic conditions. Taking Baldwin
as an example, brokers who claim to
know what the insiders are doing
asserted that little long stock bought
at mucn lower prices is coming on the
market. They state with q consider
able degree of confidence that much of
the selling of the last few days has
been for the account of the shorts.
Baldwin was one of the chief centers
of bear attack yesterday, and by the
close had declined to 88h. a net loss
of Ia.

Exchange Seats Higher

The rise of the last three weeks in
the stock market has been accompanied
by an advance in the value of member
ships on the exchange. Yesterday the
sale of a seat was reported at $4,000,
compared with $4,000 the last previous
sale. The demand for memberships is
keener now than it has been for several
months, owing to the increased activity
on the market on the up side.

Burns Brothers Up on Merger Talk

Active buying appeared in Burns
Brothers stock yesterday on reports
that negotiations are finally nearing
completion for a merger of this con-
Germ with the Farrell Coal Company.
Several meetings have been held within
the past few days on this matter and
banking representatives Of the Burns
organization admit that consolidation
of the two coal companies is likely soon
to become fact. Burns Brothers
advanced to 95x, new high for the
year, but reacted to 93& at the close,
which was net gain of 3 u points over
Wednesdays last sale. The controlling
interests in Burns Brothers are said to
believe that consolidation with
Farrell will result not only in an in
creased business, but should benefit the
public through lowering of the price
of coal
