MANY STOCKS FORGED

100 Shares Take Lowest Prices Re-

Market in Commotlon.
tBy Associated Press.

NEW YORK. June ll.-Tho flnar-
ciai markets wcre In commition this
week.
Selling for both accounts and from
many quarters forced moro than 100
stocks to lowest prices OF tho year.
Among stecis. equipments. oils. ship
pings. oils and coppors. minimum
quotations for two TO three years
and more were established. Rails
alone showed some eteadincss on
relatively moderate liquidation.
Dcnat!on, attended by confusing
movements In the leading commodity
markets. resulted primarily from
fozen credits. dividend omissions or
reductions and adverse industrial
conditions.
The fewcat untitled orders for more
than two years were disclosed in the
May, tonnage report of the United
States Steel Corporation. Pig iron
In more than twenty years and price
cutting in the basic Industries be-
came more general.
disquieting development for
which convincing explanation was
lacking was the slump in foreign ex-
change. In disinterested circles the
theory that this originated mainly
from Gcrmany's indemnity payments
was accepted with reserve.
Assurance by bankers that few. If
any. new loans 10 Europe would be
made the rest of this year directed
renewed attention to railroads Imam
cial requirements.
The opinion was expressed that In
the next few months many junior
roads would be put to their sevcrest
test in the last decade.
Pcrceptible relaxation OF money
rates WAS shown. but conservative
banking interests believed interest
and discount rates would hold at
present quotations. pending drastic
liquidation OF grain and cotton loans

ROCK SALT DEPOSITS

WASHINGTON, June II-v,.,

tends from Northern Kansas across

New Mexico to Western Texas.
The area undcrlain by these great
Permian salt deposits is not far from
loo."Oo square miles. according to the
United States Geological Survey, De-
partmcnt of the Interior.
The limits of the deposit, especially
to the. northwcst and southeast, have
not been asccrtaincd, but In general
the area of thick salt extends fully
600 miles from northeast to south
west, and Is fifty TO $50 miles wide.
The thickness and the succession of
the beds are variable. but 700 feet is
reported In one hole. and In many
places the aggregate is more than
800 feet.
On the assumption of an average
thickness of 200 feet of salt. the
gross quantity in the area OF 100, 600
square miles is so large. about 10000
billion tons, that the present needs
of the United States (about 1000. 900
tons year, can be supplied for mil
