NEW YORK. Nov. 23.-itail stocks
again were under selling pressure
In the first period today, and prices
rcceded To u lower level than thai
established by yesterdays reaction

10 the industrials and oil stocks, ana

"poundings" which have almost be-
come a matter OF regular diet. With
the tumbling OF prices for stocks or
every grade and variety. u new low
level for the whole market has been
established. meaning for some stocks
the wiping out Of all gains made
in the forward push eliminating
around October 10. and for others,

Great Northern preferred. after open
ing at So, sold down to s24, South

the lowest point since the stock
was placed on "a per cent dividend
basis; New York Central sold down
to sOR, Atchison broke through par
for the first time since last July.
and losses of two points or more
were common to practically all Of
the active rails.
Bears Attack.
An end of the liquidation in the
rails, seemed to precede the re-
dictionary movement in the indus
trials, as though the profess!o nal
bears were shifting their attack TO
other quarters. They did not meet
with such good success in this sec
ton of the market, however, stout
resistance indicating smaller
amount Of floating stock Some Of
the recent selling being attributed
TO the efforts OF the large commits
sion houses TO cut down their loan
and marginal accounts, it was
thought that the completion OF this
process would pave the way for a
rally
Despite the fact that the dividend
on National Lead was increased from
to per cent today that stock was
sold in good quantity and lost
about four points. Baldwin and
Studebaker dropped two points each,
and u. ). Steel one point.
Elkhorn Coal was the outstand.
ing performer for the bulls, making
a further gain of over 4 points at
25. Pittsburgh Coal was steady.
A fair sized rally was in progress
around the noon hour. with in
dustrlals in the lead. Call money
rates prevailed at 5 per cent. with
q reduction to Az per cent at noon.

ducts, and fourth, to make advances
Tor the purpose or assisting any
person or cooperative organization
In financing the sale, or expectation
and sale of agricultural products,
with the provision that no money so
advanced shall be expended without

The corporation would be author
lied to issue and to have outstand-
ing at any one time it's bonds in

ury until the payments equal the
amount advanced by the Treasury
for the capital stock Of the cor
poration.
Export Trade.

duced rates on export shipments
handled by the corporation, it would
be given authority to operate any
OF the vessels now owned by the
United States. not now chartered.
No charge would be made for the
use Of the vessels, but the cor

Financial Comment
Copyright. 1872, by Cosmopolitan


NEW YORK, Nov. ga good
many of the features of the present
stock market which seem difficult
to understand are more comprehensi-
BILE when 1t is remembered that the
market has again become very
largely professional. At the present
time the large professional traders
are not permanently tied up to either
side of the market. They are more
anxious to find out which way the
wind is blowing, and TO give the
market an extra push in the direction
in which 1t seems to be moving.
The young people in the schools
are taught that the constant drop
ping of water will in time wear away
the toughest stone: and the fractional
losses in a good many stocks which
have been piling up from day to day
have resulted In q considerable loss
in the aggregate. A glance at stock
quotation tables will show, in fact,
that a good number OF the speculative
stocks are nearer the low prices Of
the year than the high prices.
Take for instance the railroad
division, upon which a fairly heavy
attack was launched this week.
Baltimore and Ohio, at its opening
price today was 10 points below the
high Of the year and only 8 points
above the years low. Rock Island
was down IS points from the top,
and from the bottom; Lehigh
Valley down IS, and up IL: New
Haven down Is, and up 8; Reading
down IL. and up 4; Chesapeake and
Ohio down 13, and up IL; Southern
Railway down Q. and up 8; st,
Paul preferred down Is, and up s.
Erie down 4, and up 4; Northern
Pacific down 10, and up 3. The
higher grade division rails, of
course. have made a somewhat
better showing. Atchison, for in.
stance, is about midway between
the high and the low, down Sh
and up OK; Great Northern pre-.
ferred down Il, and up IA: New
York Central down 10, and up 49,
Pennsylvania down 3, and up 49,
Union Pacific down Ia. and up Is
Canadian Pacific down II, and ur
81: Southern Pacific down Z, and
up 1919.
A prosperous national railroad
system is the first requisite of gen.
eral prosperity for the country. and
IL the railroads are to be used as
football for political and specula.
tive activity, instead Of being en-.
couraged In building up profitable
carrier trade. the business of the
whole country will suffer.
Though by no means the most
active group in the speculative
stock list, the public utility stocks
have always enjoyed steady mar.
ket, advancing moderately during
the rush times and holding their
gains while other sections OF the
market were declining. This liz due
TO the character of the service
which these companies render and
the steady. dependable income which
they enjoy.
stockholders Of these companies
have received their share of the
EXTRA dividends which have been
forthcoming In recent weeks. An.
other prominent company, the Pub
lie Service Corporation of New Jer.
sey, has fulfilled expectations In
this regard and has now been placed
upon an annual per cent income
basis. The balance sheet Of the
company shows that nearly twice a.
much was available for dividends
this year as last year.

BONDS ARE
FIRM
Next to Public Utility, Bonds
Have Been Most Steady in
Irregular Market.
by MUNROE ROBERTS.
coop risht. 1884,. by Cosm opoiitan
News service


NEW YORK. Nov. 2s.-Next TO
the public utility bonds. In the listed
bond market, the better grade OF In
dus' rial bonds have been most
steady during the past two months.
The DOw'Jones average OF ten in
dustrials at the opening OF the mar.
ket today was 1896. loss OF l.sS
points from a month ago, and a
gain OF SO, points from one year
ago. The public utility bonds stood
at SS.34. a loss OF l.31 points from
a month ago. and an advance Of
927 points from year ago. The
low average OF ten representative
Industrial bonds was si.72 on March
IL. and the high was 1888 on Sep.
TENDER 20.
Since 1915. the largest number Of
declines and rallies In Industrial
bonds, based upon l-point fluctua.
ton. occurred i'm 1921. when eight
such movements happened. The
highest price for Industrial bonds,
based upon the movement OF ten is
sues used in Dow-Jones & Co.'S daily
average prices. occurred November
~, 1916, at 1888. The lowest aver
age price was SPA. December 81.
1920. The largest rally was In 1921,
covering 5.+S points to S7.62. while
the greatest decline was in June,
1920, S.67 points to S3.25.
From the standpoint OF the bond
market the most important state
ment thus far made by NJ. Glenn.
enceau. was that the French gov.
eminent. having steadily cut down
hn a
balance its budget in 1923. Says
the noted Frenchman: Il have no
doubt that II can be done, and II
must be done! I am sure OF IT,"
The extreme reaction which has
been taking place in the bonds OF
the French republic was largely
due to the fear that 1t would not
he possible to carry out such a
program. One Of the most import
ant items In its budget. as in that
of our own Government, is that
which is appropriated for the pay.
ment Of interest on war debts and
the amortization OF the same. II
the predictions OF the distinguished
French visitor are fulfilled. there
need be no worry on the part OF
American investors: and present
quotations for the French s per cent
bonds are entirely too low. But II
remains TO be seen whether II is
poi .ible for such happy conclu-
sion to be reached during the next
twelve months.
II has been frequently stated OF
late that there are a large number
OF so-called undigested securities in
the Wall street district at the pres.
ent time and TO this fact may be
attributed some Of the weakness In
prices Of listed bonds. 1t has been
pointed out in this column that
the reported subscription 10
many OF the big bond issues did
not mean the actual sale Of these
new bonds to investors but merely
the allotment to the various dis.
tributing agencies forming a syndi'
cate. The real task begins when
the distributing agencies have re-
ceived their bonds and begin to re-
tail them to their customers. When
too many bonds are forced upon
the market at any time, and
distributing prices are marked W
high. there is an inevitable back
wash Of these securities to the
market.
