 EXCHANGE REPORTS

Liquidation of low priced rails forcsd recessions of 1 to 3 points in the rails. St. Louis Southwestern preferred, Western Pa cific preferred and Texas and Pacific caused sympathetic heaviness in oth- CT parts of the list. Towards noon the dominant trend again appeared to be upward in response to a renewed demand for T. 8.

Call money opened at hve per cent.
 Wall street l:3o p. m.--The market in all quarters proved vulnerable In the afternoon when a flood of selling orders swept over the list.
