MONEY SPECTATORS
0UTWITTED BY BANK
japanese Controller Makes Profit
of s1,0o0,oo0 From Short
Sellers of Yen.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, February 6.-Specula-
tors in foreign exchange who sold the
Japanese yen short on Japan's suspen-
sion of gold shipments and because Of
her difficulties in China were severely
squeezed" by the Yokohama Specie
Bank, it became known today.
How the bank, the actual controller
of Japans currency, fooled the specu-
lators throughout the world and made
profit estimated at nearly $1,000, 900
besides, was related by S. Sonoda agent
Of the bank.
In the few weeks preceding Japan's
prohibition of gold shipments thou
sands of persons thought the nation
was headed for war" he said. They
tried to sell japanese bonds short, but
found that the government was sup
porting the market.
Then they turned to the japanese
yen, in which the Yokohama Specie Bank
is practically the only buyer. The specu
lators sold into a bag, and few days
before Japan dropped gold shipments
the bank called all contracts and
forced the short sellers to deliver yen
at the standard price of 1850 to 1890
cents. Many of the sellers in their
short operations had contracted to de-
liver yen at prices far below the STAN
dard price.
The yen is now selling at about 35
cents, but short sellers are afraid, and
they have good reasons to be-

NEW YORK, February 6-Some days
ago a New York Stock Exchange house
published a list OF low-priced shares
and indicated at the time that about
As per cent Of all Of the issues dealt in
on the board were selling from $40 a
share down to fractions Of a dollar.
Comparison was made between current
quotations and the high prices of the
previous two years.
To the investor and speculatOr the
price contrasts are alluring. In ma
iority of cases excellent earnings are
being shown on the members Of the
w-priced group. Quite high per
centage Of them are paying dividends.
Not a few are the issues Of some Of
the most prominent Of American cor
porations The greater part Of them
are from the industrial group. This IS
a fact that enters into serious cOnSid
Grafton of what now appears to be an
anomalous price condition
1t Will be remembered that one phase
of the speculative period prior to and
including 1929 was the recapitaliZa ton
of common stocks of many important
manufacturing and distributing COM
panies.
Split-U Recalled.
From par value Of 500 share they
were split up on the basis Of four for
one. five for one, and even ten for one,
so that their present par is S25 share,
$40 a share or no par. Consequently,
the existing low market prices reflect a
changs in capital policy that has a
tendency to make certain stocks appear
unduly Debated. Conspicuous among
the companies that changed their capi-
tai basis were American Radiator &

TRADERS IN GRAIN !;
WATCH WAR NEWS
Market Has Not Yet Been

BY JOHN V. 2OUGRAN,

CHICAGO, February 6.-Eager watch

nerves on edge here to degree seldom
equaled
Powder sparks, however, which would
set the wheat market on fire, it was
generally conceded today, depend now
on whether countries other than China
and Japan become directly involved

In the face Of an unusually complex
outlook aside from war deVelopments
| wheat values this morning compared
with week ago were 1xa2 cent
lower, corn lTsa23s down, oats 1a14
on, and provisions to 60 cents down.
Leaving out possibility OF other coua-
tries being drawn into the war, SOM

insurance rates on ocean shipments

idly and additional obstacles incident
to war may soon be encountered in
shipments from Australia. the United
States or any exporting country OF
the other hand, a question also ariss
whether interruption OF trade between
, China proper and Manchuria will not
make necessary increased imports by,
| China to replace supplies heretofore
obtained from Manchuria. .~r
A further element in war conditions
is that Japans rice crop is reported
3,500000 900 pounds short of last year
and that imports Of about 900 900 900
pounds of rice will apparently be fe7
quired or an equivalent of wheat or
some substitute. Unless other nations
than China and Japan become en-
tangled, however. the resultant food
needs are not comparable to those of
an armed struggle in Europe, where
heavy use of wheat is general. Mean
while, friends of higher prices contend
bearish conditions have been pretty
well discounted the world over and
that when this country's Spring crop,
scare really arrives the force of Argen7

Corn and oats traders are up against
the fact that record low prices for hogs
make a beariSh comparison with corn
values.

SELLING Of RAILS

SpeciaIties Are Also Under

Small.

NEW YORK, February (P).-Sharp
declines in various specialties and pres
sure on the rails generally gave today's
stock market an extremely weak ap-
pearance. There was, however, sup
port for leading industrials, many OF
which were practically unchanged.
The market opened lower and sold
off rapidly during the first hour, but
steadied in the second half of the ses-
sion. 1t was the indications OF having
initiated a fresh decline on Friday that
brought offerings into the list today.
Bids were scarce and for some Of the
more speculative industrials the losses
were large.
Auburn Auto, which had broken more
than points Friday, had added about
as much more to the decline by the
middle Of the second hour. No support
of consequence appeared until 1t had
gone through the 1l0 mark, which con-
trasts with a high Of over l23 on
Friday.
New Lows Recorded.
! Another weak but generally more in
active issue was Peoples Gas of Chi
cago The stock made a new low un-
der par temporarily relinquishing its
membership in the Century Club"
leaving only Auburn, Detroit Edison,
HomeStake Mining and Norfolk &
Western in that once glorious COM
pany New lows for the bear market
were made by General Electric, Hud-
son Motors and Crucible Steel, but
these losses were only fractional, and
General Electric rallied.
The rails were weak almost without
exception Missouri Pacific preferred,
in which it has been reported a group
had taken q long position, dropped
some 2 points, no inconsiderable loss
for a stock selling in its price class
Chesapeake g. Ohio made a new low
Norfolk & Western, Union Pacific and
Atchison sold of. Further estimates
of the savings to accrue to individual
roads from the wage reduction were of
no help to the market, which continued
to concentrate on the traffic and earn
ing returns.
Near January Lows.
The steadiness exhibited by United
States Steel, General Motors, Du Pont
and American Can was conspicuous be-
cause of the lack of support elsewhere.
1t probably prevented a more serious
break in the general list but whether
this support was organized or spOn-
taneous was hard to say. Some Of the
selling locked like distress liquidation,
and some Of it like operations for the
decline. The only thing sure was that
the market as a whole was brought
nearer to the January lows and it look
cd as If test of those lows could not
much longer be delayed.
