STOCKS DEPRESSED
AT SHORT SESSION
Bear Repurchasing Acts as
Cushion for Market, Les
sening Losses.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor.


NEW YORK, September ls.--Secur-
files markets topped again today, but
the fall in stocks was broken by ex-
tensive bear repurchases, and losses
were less severe than yesterdays.
Pressure against sterling exchange
and British bonds was again unsettling.
Spectators were anxious to sell sterling
short but were discouraged by leading
banks. Much of the slump in London
securities and in sterling exchange was
attributed to financial unsettlement in
Amsterdam and the selling by the
Dutch of the British securities.
Domestic affairs failed to account for
the large-scale selling In New York. and
brokers were inclined to regard much OF
it as due to unreasoning hyster1a. Fur
thermore. there was again active selling
in this market from abroad. stock
sales for the two-hour session were well
over 2,oo0,000 shares.
Ticker Behind Market.
From the steel trade it was reported
that output in the Youngstown area
next week will be around SO per cent
of capacity, but there had been little
hope that the recent sudden bulge to
Al per cent would be fully maintained.
The stock market showed signs Of
rallying for time in the first hour, but
selling appeared in large volume toward
the close, and the new high-speed ticker
did not print the final transaction until
IL minutes after the close.
American Telephone was again weak
spot, dropping 6 points and closing
within less than point OF its low.
Rails held up fairly well, and such issues
as New York Central, Pennsylvania and
Union Pacific finished about unchanged.
New Haven, however, lost nearly 3, and
Southern Pacific lost ia. Norfolk q
Western. IN which the market is rather
thin, lost points.
American Tobacco B, Eastman and
woolworth lost about 4 points, and
issues of 2 points or so included
United States Steel, National Biscuit,
North American, Corn Products, Amer
lean Can and others. Royal Dutch
was adversely Influenced by unsettle-
ment in Amsterdam and lost points.
Decline in Sterling.
Sterling cables sank to new bot
tom for recent weeks at $4.8434, on i
cent from yesterday, and nearly 2 cents
below gold parity. A recovery to S465
occurred later. Wall Street is still re-
framing from taking advantage Of the
profits offered in importing gold, and
the chief uneasiness is over gold losses
from London to Holland. Much un-
certainty is felt in some quarters over
Londons ability to maintain the pres
ent gold standard. This evidently &C
counts for the urge to sell sterling ex-
change short Some speculative Offer
ings under S4.75 were reported This
knfl Ia
in large part to recent statements Of
certain London economists.
The Canadian dollar was again Sc
vereIy depressed dropping to 97iz
cents, against q closing level Of SO 5-16
yesterday. This was new low since

NEGRO GUNMAN
GIVEN 10 YEARS
Ex-Leader of Gang Pleads
Guilty to Robbery.

The deposed leader of a Negro
bandit gang was led today into
criminal court where he was SEN
fenced to ten years in the state re-
formatory, on his plea of guilty to
robbery.
His days as the fearless leader of
his tribe of three or four ended.
Robert Weathers, Negro, 10, of 5191z
Ogden street, stood true to the code
of youthful gangdom and was silent
when he was sentenced by Criminal
Judge Frank P. Baker.
He was arrested after he and
two other youths robbed Arch Nc
Kahn, 5153 North Delaware street,
of $40 Nov. 30.
Other members Of his gang were
rounded up by police but Wealth
ers took the blame for the Nc
Kahn robbery and several other jobs
laid to the youths activities, police
said.
Fifteen prisoners were ar
raigned before Baker on various
criminal offenses today. The ma
jority Of them pleaded not guilty.
Two other Negroes entered guilty
pleas and were sentenced. They
are Charles Chinn, SO, one to ten
years in the state prison for the
robbery of the Sam Greenwald dry
goods store, 2148 North Illinois
street, April %, and William Ket-
trel, 48, of 1101 East Thirteenth
street, five to twenty-one years in
the state prison for assault and
battery with intent to commit

others suffered minor injuries.
All night an army of firemen, SOL
dierS and marines fought the flames,
aided by fireboats. Oil barrels ex-
ploded like heavy artillery, and
sparks, windborne, fell perilously in
the main business section.
Virtual martial law was estab-
lished in the fire area, with COM
plete police power turned over to the
more than 1000 troops on duty.
All the tugs in the harbor came to
the city'S aid, but were unable to
come near enough to save the build
ings. Tugs supplied by five rail-
roads, and navy fireboatS cooper
ated to prevent spread of the flames
further along the water front.
The fire broke out in the wharf Of
the Buxton Steamship Company,
formerly the Old Dominion line. at
4:30 p. m, Sunday. BY $3.50 it had
swept over ten city blocks, and fire
apparatus had been summoned from
every nearby community.
