COURSE OF PRICES
: TENDS DOWNWARD
4arket Passes Through
Period of Indecision-Prog-
ress Toward Normal.

NEW YORK, February 19.-On a
slightly larger and more varied scale
of operations the financial market
this week passed through another
period of indecision in which the
course of prices tended unmistakably
downward.
Additional defation of the principal
commodities. more definite signs OF
business readjustment, extension OF
wage contraction and the smaller
earnings of transportation lines play
ed their several parts in the further
depreciation of securities.
Approach Normal Conditions.
Latest surveys by qualified author
tiles confirm the general impression
that financial, CONNIE rcial and INDUS
trial movements are slowly progressing
toward normal conditions, but in con-
servative banking circles the dominant
note is one of extreme speculation.
Heaviness of oil, steel and kindred
shares was of a piece with the more
obvious conditions in those Industries.
Indications of an open market for
fabricated steel subsided, the recent
cuts by independent producers evi-
IDENTIFY having failed to stimulate in
creased demand.
Special stocks. particularly ship
pings, motor and leather shares, suf-
fered severely at the hands of pro-
feSSional shorts, whose operations
plainly denoted that unfavorable de-
velopments affecting the financial
status of those issues are impending.
Banks Hold to Shorter Maturities.
Investors and others having less
claim on the money market viewed
with Indifference the comparative
&ase of call money. while merchants
ind holders of gilt-edged collateral
were unable to negotiate loans beyond
the shorter maturities.
British, French and other important
femittanceS were governed to an un-
wonted extent by the many shifts and
changes reported in connection with
the approaching conference between
the allies and their former enemies in
London. Stabilizing influences were
contributed by the Chilean $4,000, 900
loan and a proposed underwriting for
Sac Pauio, Brazil, by a group of Brit
3sh. Dutch and American brokers.

MARKET FOR STEEL
UNSETTLED, WEAK
Weeks Review Shows Pig
Iron Dull, Copper Quiet
and Steady.

NEW YORK. February 19.-The
market for steel during the week was
unsettled and irregular. and prices
been made by independents. but the
price cutting has failed to inspire new
business. In fact. it appears to have
had reverse influence. as buyers are
more disposed to await further con-
cessions. The Steel Corporation con-
tinues to hold at old levels, but a
greater part of the small volume of
business is going'to the Independents
at the lower prices.
Pig iron is dull and weak. Buyers
are holding off and holders seem
anxious to dispose of stocks on hand:
Manufacture is being curtailed and
many furnaces still are out.
Selling Pressure Lacking.

nouncement of the surplus financing
plans failed to stimulate demand.
Only very moderate business resulted

turers of copper and brass goods still

having developed less actively than
expected since the first Of the year.
Some export business was reported
mostly in small lots and including a
few sales to Germany. Second hand
offerings were light. The basis of
13 cents for electrolytic was main
tained with sellers asking 13H to

Review Of Other Metals.
Lead was lower. big producers and

Tin still was a buyers market
quotations being sensitive to fnctua-

Zic was easier, with demand ex-
tremely limited and local stock on

Antimony nominally easier on spot

lower prices for silver.
