BALANCE OF TRADE
FAVORABLE TO U. S.

BY the Associated Press.
Latest foreign trade statistics con-
tinue to call attention to the situation
that has existed in this quarter since
the beginning of the year.
While there has been favorable bal
ance accruing to the United States in
the movement of merchandise during
the first four months of the year. there
has been, at the same time. an un-
favorable balance established in the in
ternational movement of gold.
During the period ended with April
commodity movements to and from the
United States resulted in net exports of
$4,000 600. while during the same
period gold movements TO and from this
country showed, from Federal Reserve
Board statistics. that a total of S22o.-
100000 more was sent out than was re-
ceived. In April. latest month for which
statistics are available, the favorable
trade balance was around 50 900 900,
whereas the gold movement was I'M
favorable 10 the extent of S32 o75 600
While most quarters charge the exodus
of the yellow metal to be due to un-
certainty in foreign countries concern
ing the United States balancing of its
budget, and related causes. other
sources claim the diminishing favorable
merchandise balance reacts unfavorably

STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN FINAL TRADING
Early Gains Largely Lost as
Opening Bulge Brings
Out Selling.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, June 1.-The stock
market today showed alternate strengrn
and weakness and closed with prices
mixed
AT the opening, pronounced strength
prevailed, with gains in active issues
running up to 5 points and more. This
was succeeded in the early afternoon
by fresh wave Of liquidation, cancel
ing practically all of the early gains
and bringing many stocks down to new
low ground. Finally, in the last hour,
prices hardened and the close was at
irregular net changes.
The reason for the early strength was.
Of course, the Senates tax vote That
brought heavy short covering. For the
midsession selling no adequate explana-
ton was offered. 1t was said that bank
loans were being closed out. But that
was conjecture. Probably the new tax
on power output had something to co
with the selling in the utilities. which
were acutely weak. Electric power out
put was down again this week, but the
comparison was vitiated b. the inclu-
sion of the Memorial day holiday.
The late rally. which was not espe-
cialy convincing, was ascribed to the
announcement of the Young Commit
tees plans for supporting the bond
market
During the course of the day bear
market lows were established for Amer
ican Telephone. Consolidated Gas. Pub
lie Service of New Jersey. General Mo-
tors. Pennsylvania Railroad and United
States Steel common
The market was strong all around at
the start. First quotations were up any
where from TO and more points, with
the largest gains in issues which had
been most heavily sold for the decline.
During this phase trading was so active
that the ticker was unable to keep up
with business Oh the floor. After the
initial rush to buy. however. the pace
sla, kened
Among the features in the first half
hour We're American Can. up over
points, American Telephone up almost
3, AtchiSOn up almost and General
Foods up to points. The strength
was not confined 10 any one group. On
the reaction tobacco and merchandising
shaAs were specially sensitive Wool
worth came down easily and so did
American Tobacco B The setback
took in nearly all stocks which had been
so buOyant earlier in the session.
The markets movement was entirely
normal, considering its position. After
a period Of undiluted pessimism, the
first rebound coming on favorable out
SIDE developments is Invariably followed
by profit taking and tentative new short
selling. which cancels a large part Of
the initial advance The real test comes
on this reaction. If the lower prices are
taken advantage Of by new buyers, the
indications are that a real turn has
come. The market today was at this
stage and up TO midday its action was
indecisive.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, Oct. 8.-(Fl-With bust
ness fast approaching the time OF
season tops, financial markets en-
perienced considerable unsettlement
this week.
Stocks appeared to be largely UNI
der professional guidance. as for the
past fortnight OF mere. but support
was thin and the market had to draw
more heavily OH the balances pro-
vided by it's summer rally. Wheat
disappointed those who had been
predicting operations of new bull
pool. Cotton. although cratic in
earlier sessions. settled down later
to await the October crop. estimate.
Highest grade bonds tended to hold
uD against reactions in speculative
issues. ia
Pressure ON shares increased again
Yesterday and the average lows OF
mid September were violated.
Some brokers reported larger ope-
rators had been discouraged by the
failure of widely advertised upward
move in wheat to materialize. II was
also pointed out that recent efforts
to point stock prices higher had not
attracted public nibbles.
Familiar trade statistics indicated
the full measure of seasonal gains
might not have been reached, al
though observers realized that those
climaHes were probably close at hand.

Market Report for Sat-, Oct. 8
STOCKS ARE HIT BY
Wide ASSORTMENT
OF SMALL LOSSES
Price Movement Confus ny;
Freight Report Checks
Early Decline

New York, Oct. 8.-(P)-The stock
market finished session of confused
price movement Saturday with wide
assortment of small losses.
A favorable weekly report of the
movement of revenue freight checked
an early decline. but break in cot
ton. OH publication of the govern
ments monthly crop report, brought
fresh selling in shares, which depress-
cd many of the more active issues
to more than points for time.
There we're numerous recoverieS Of
point or so in the late dealings,
however, and at the finish, most loss
es ranged from fractions to point.
Trading was moderately active for a
Saturday session, the turnover
amounting to some 100000 shares.
The closing tone was slightly heavy.
The gain in car loadings, as report
ed for the week ended Oct. l. was 26,-
500 cars. This carried the volume OF
freight to the highest level attained
for any 7-day period thus far in 1882,
but enthusiasm over the showing was
tempered by the fact that car loadings
usually reach seasonal peak at this
time of year, and the normal trend
downward early in October. All
classes of freight showed gains, save
livestock, but the principal gain was
III coal.
Union Pacific rallied to show frac-
tional gain. then slid back to close
more than a point lower. Southern
Pacific registered an exceptional loss
of 2 points. U. S. Steel and American
Can reduced their extreme losses to
fractions, but number of miscellan-
cous issues closed about point lower,
including American Telephone. inter-
national Harvester. Case, Consolidated
Gas. Sears. Woolworth and others.
Utilities. as a group, were under con-
siderable pressure for time.

Dep. AgrD-Excessive live loadings in
the face of an already congested

fed steers as much as 75c decline

BUYING POWER NEEDED
FOR STABLE UNDERGONE

Minneapolis, Oct. 8.-(P)-Liquida-
ton and stop-loss selling through
the session Saturday put the local
wheat market in coed technical con-
dition and only little buying power
was needed to develop a more stable
undertone.
Commission houses and profession
ais were the best buyers at the out
set and there was some mill buying.
A sharp reaction from the opening
advance uncovered even broader
milling demand and then the mar
ket settled down to a period Of de-
sultory trade and fractional price
variation.
With the exception of flax there
was a little action or trade in coarse
grains. There was more Stop-loss
selling of flax holdings.
December wheat closed 1-8 higher
and May unchanged.
December oats closed IA higher
and May unchanged. December rye
finished 1-S lower and May un-
changed while December and May
barley ended Ia up. October and
December flax closed IL lower and
May two cents lower.
Cash wheat tone held unsettled
There was a better demand for heavy
wheat testing around l3 per cent
protein. Durum of good amber quail
ity was in sharp demand but medi-
UNI to lower grades were quiet. VIM
ter wheat offerings were very light
and in quiet to fair demand.
Cash corn demand was steady.
Oats demand was fair. Rye demand
was fair to good. Barley demand
was slightly better with prices bare
ly steady. Flax was in good demand
but some of the very ordinary stuff
sold one cent cheaper.
