STOCKS and BONDS
SHOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, March 9.-The stock marker experienced flIrthe. irreguia depression today, much of the news and developments coupled wi.h the absence Of public interest, contribut- ing to that end.
 Industrial conditions assumed mo. C disturbing aspects, the coming wage reduction by the packers being fol lowed by announcement that the Penn- Sylvania railroad intenGa to cur sal aries and wages. After the close it became known that similar action would be probably taken by all the Heading transportation companies.
 The annual report of the America Sugar Refining company, showing op- erating profits of only $1,S00.O00 for 1920. against more than S1e,O00,UOO in 1917 doubtless accounted for the re cent steady decline of food ana kin dred shares.
 Latest conditions in the steel trade were emphasized by the Iron Age, which made especial reference to the detached attitude of consumers and further restriction of operations by most of the largest producers.
 Less attention was directed towards foreign affairs, but the uncertain tone of international remiJtances, in which some recovery was shown on cover ing Of speculative groups, seemed to offer little hope of early readJust- ments of the unsettlement resulting from the allied occupation oT Ger many. Speculative issues faTed better than standard stocks. Such invest ment issues as the high grade ITanS conunentalS were under constant pressure at net losses of one to about two points. Sales were 400,000 shares.
 In the bond market raiis were ad- versely affected by the heaViness of kindred strikes Among the various government flotations the outstanding feature was Liberty 5l5's at the new low for the year ot S90.24. others or that group also easing. Total safes (par value) .$S,S75,000.
