NEW YORK, Dec. 8 tP-A steady
stream of selling orders poured onto
the floor of the New York stock eX
change today and carried prices OF
leading issues down to nearly
points. Bear traders started the SELL
ing movement, but the swift declines
in some of the speculative issues re-
suited in substantial liquidation OF
weakened marginal accounts and fur
ther realizing by bull traders who had
built up large paper profits on the re-
cent advance. Recessions, as a rule,
were orderly in character, and the
days sales, although well below those
of yesterday, were still above 2,5O0,000
shares.
Wall street found several explana-
tionS for the selling movement. Com
mission houses laid considerable em-
phaSiS on political Uncertainties, claim
ing that the free-for-a race for the
republican presidential nomination was
bound to have an unSettling effect on
business. The new treasury financing
on slightly higher basis than Mo-
vember also revived fears of tight
ening of credit facilities. Banks call
ed between $5,OOOO,0O0 and $10,OO0,00O
in loans, but there was a plentiful
supply of call money at the renewal
figure of per cent. The New York
federal reserve bank announced no
change in the 81 per cent rediscount
rate.
Outside the stock market, Specula-
tive interest centered largely in cot
ton, which advanced moderately on
publication of the final government
crop estimate of Il, 2,7S9,OOO bales, drop
of $4,000 bales below last months fig
ure, and then broke more than So a
bale below last nights final quota
tions on selling inspired by unfavor-
able trade reports. Corn fell more
than &c bushel and wheat, oats and
rye sold down cent or more. Sugar
and coffee prices we're steady.
Weakness of U. S. Steel common ano
General Motors attracted widespread
attention in the stock market. Steel
sold down 39s points to 1881, closing
at the bottom, and General Motors
showed net loss of rs at 1858 de-
spite repeated efforts of bear traders
to break the stock through 125 on in
formation that large "stop loss" orders
were in the market under that figure
National Biscuit, which scared nearly

VIENNA REVOLT
.COLLAPSES AS
SOCIALISTS QUIT
Entire Dispute Will Be Sub
rnitted To Parliament As
Final Arbiter

VIENNA, July 18, G0--Danger of
further disorders and bloodshed in
Austria was averted tonight BY the un-
conditional surrender of the Socialist
party and the labor federation. The
settlement of the three days bitter
strife, which shook Austria TO its
foundations, followed all day parleyS
between Chancellor Seipel, ald the
social burgomaster Seitz, the socialist
leader, Otto Bauer, and tie labor
chieftain, Tomschlisch The entire
dispute will be submitted on Thurs
day to parliament, which the chancel-
lor insisted should be the final arbi-
ter.
The United government parties have
greatly enhanced their political pres
tige at the expense of the social demo-
Gratis, who have been carrying on OBJ
structions against the Seipel govern
ment for weeks past. x,
The socialists intention TO use the
strike to gain further concessions from
the government crumbled Under the
grave warning of powerful financial
interests that further disturbances
would preclpitate crisis at home and
abroad in the nations finances.
The hotel keepers, who have had
one of the best seasons in years, also
exerted strong influence to bring the
radicals to reason. Throughout the pro-
vincial districts the Austrian peasants
especially those in the Tyroi, Karin
thia and Syria, manifested undis-
guised disapproval with the Wnole
strike movement and threatened to
march en- masse on Vienna unless the
socialists called off the strike.
The populace, who had been ap-
prised of the strike settlement by ex-
ira editions of the papers showed in

BRITISH SHOW
ATTITUDE OF
CANCELLATION
Great Britain Comes Down
In Total Tonnage Figures
AT Naval Farley

/ GENEVA, July 18, #9-Twelve TO-
900 ton cruisers for the United States,
Twelve for Great Britain and eight for
Japan-such is the tentative agree
ment reported to have been reached
today at private meeting Of the
chief delegates to the tripartite naval
conference 6et
Despite the fact that the conference
has been revivified by the mediation
of the Japanese and the concllatory
attitude of the British, difficulties are
certain to be encountered, and must
be overcome before the success of the
parley can be proclaimed assured.
/ Now that Great Britain has come
down handsomely" as one observer
put it, in total tonnage figures and
met the American views in this respect,
the outstanding problem to be solved
is the size of the smaller cruisers and
/ the size of the guns to be mounted on
these.
!, The British spokesman said tonight
that it would be exceedingly difficult
for Great Britain to obtain even the
reduced number of cruisers as now
proposed, unless the Americans and
i Japanese agreed to lessen the dis
placement in the second category OF
I cruisers, and restrict the guns to six
inches.
! But the Americans may even ask
the right to have the maximum OF the
second category placed at 1900 tons,
instead of keeping it at 1900 which
represented the indefinite tonnage OF
the Omaha class of cruisers. The Brit
ish tendency is to restrict tie size to
5000 tons and to keep aigllt-inch
guns off the seas unless they were in
/ stalled on 10000 ton cruisers.
| The American delegates apparent
ly are aiming to convince the British
that the American navy, whatever
guns are carried, is not built against
Great Britain and that beca'lse OF
close Anglo American friendship there
can be no justification for apprehen-
sion.

BENTON, Ills, July 1S, (AP)-
Clarence Rome, a pale faced con-
vict of less than a score of years,
today testified that Charles Bir-
ger, his former gang chief, plan

Mayor Joe Adams of West City

WAR LORDS OF
CHINA TIRINC
OF WARFARE
Political Movements Are
Apparently Taking Place
Of Military

LONDON, July ,R,-China's war
lords appear to be getting tired of
the warfare; political movements are
apparently taking the place of military
operations
These are thought to be the, real
factors behind reports of the truce on
the Shantung front, the *acquittal"
of Nine Borodin and her comrades
by Peking court and the disappear
ance from Hankow of her husband,
Michael Rorodjn Russian adviser to
the southern (Canton) government.
The lull in the fighting along the
Yangtse, the armistice in Shantung, in
the face of the Japanese landing at
Tsing-Tao and southern troop move
ments toward PukoW, have contributed
to check for the present any warfare
between the northern allies and the
southerners.
Further indications of an anti-com-
mnuist wave on the Yangtse are con-
tained in Reuters disps G:h from
Shanghai quoting "well-informed
sources" in support of reports Of the
capture by moderate southerners of
Hankow and Hanyang from the south
err radicals
General No Chen, the commander
of the moderates' garrison at Wu-
chang according to these advices is
said to nave staged a coup d'etat, oc-
cupying Hanyang Sunday ard Hankow
Monday. He was reported to have cap
tllred railway and other Strategical
points. General Ho is known as hostile
to all communisists.
Nationalist soldiers boarded the So
Wet Russian steamer Henli IN Snang-
hal today and arrested six Russians,
eight Chinese and one Korean alleged

Atlantic Auiators

NEW YORK, July 18.GP)-Through
the same sort of fog and rain that
