 United States Steel was the leat- CT among the industrial group. Af- ter an early fractional gain. the stock shot down to below 35. Allied Chemical erased an early gain and was down about 10 points in the vigorous attack. Mining issues re- ceived . considerable hammering with. Homestake down about g points.
 Farm equipment shares spurted at the opening on the strength Of the Russian recognition negotia- tions. but traders who had leaped in yesterday took ouick-turn profits and jumped from tho market. This shot these issues down with J. |. Case off almost points after an earlier corresponding gain. while International Harvester. Deere and company and others of, this group acted in q similar manner.
 Railroads held against tho trend better than mosts any division on the board. This railroad steadiness could be traced to the government car loadings report yesterday which showed the total at the seasons peak and about 5000 tons above the previous week.
 Some of the late selling, 1t was explained in the street, was due to weekend profit-taking of the quick turn traders who went into the market at the lows yesterday. There was a considerable amount of buying from these operators yesterday.

Federal Treasury
 Outlook Is Better
Receipts for Fiscal Year Ended Last June Slightly in
 Advance of the Year Previous

New York, oct. 21-The finan- cial position of the federal govern ment shows improvement in sey- eral respects, states the Guarantee Trust co. of New York in It's weekly survey. Receipts for the fiscal year ended last June were slightly larger than itneh
 slightly larger than in the preced- ing year, while expenditures were reduced by more than q billion dollars. The result was Q defict of only $1,7S6, 1000 as against $2,8S0, 100000 Q year earlier. Tho improvement since the beginning of the current fiscal year has been still more marked. From July l through September 16, receipts cx- cceded those of year ago by nearly $212,O00, ,000, while cxpendi- lures were $271,000,000 less than last year.
 In considering tho recent figures on expenditures, tho Survey con- tiues, 1t should be bcorne in mind that they include relatively small outlays for emergency purposes, particularly the public works ad- ministration. Total emergency ex- penditures were smaller than those reported during the corresponding period last year for the Reconstruc- ton Finance Corporation alone. With more than '$1,400,000,0O0 al- ready allotted for public works, out of the total amount of $S,30o,. 900, 900 provided by the National Recovery Act, 1t is evident that the financing of the huge expenditures contemplated in the emergency classifications will be one of the major problems of the treasury In the near future.
 Rcfunding Problems
 In view of these urgent financing problems, there is some doubt

Package stores will replace tayerns in Connecticut when the 18th amendment is repealed. The large number of beer parlors, which sprang up over night in Waterbury and the state will ex- pericnce big decline, 1t is pre- dicted when real, hard liquor flows again.
 Among the many Waterburians preparing for the expected change arc the druggists. The state liquor commission anticipates between 600 and 700 applications for drug gists permits by December. Scc- retary Edward Peters of the con1- mission is preparing to augment his present clerical staff to give prompt service to the boys who are desirous of pleasing their customers when liquor Is 1egalized for sale.
 Druggists of the state who up to this time have not taken permits because the cost of handling was prohibitive in relation to the amount of business done on prescriptions, will secure such per- fnits with the passing of prohibi- ton because drugstores and pack age stores are the only places where alcoholic liquors, other than beer, may be sold at retail under the present law of the state.

Heavy Selling Movement Hit the Market Short Session
BENCHES DAMAGED
 ATLBRARYPARK
Trouble Makers Have Been at Work There for Some
 Time Past

A number of benches placed in Library Park for the convenience of visitors were damaged during the night by having been tossed over the stenewall on the south side of the park. Employees. of the park department discovered the benches missing early this morning and made search for them. They were found on the lower incline near the retaining wall, which runs paralell with the retaining wall. It was clearly evident that youngsters were responsible for the malicious damage caused.
 It has been decided to place ex- tra policemen in the vicinity of the park at night with the intent of rounding up a few of the young sters and teach some a lesson.
 This business has been going on for some time to the great annoy ance of those who visit the park, and 1t might also be added that complaints have come to the H. brary officials about young men congregating around the building and marking veranda posts with knives. Some day the offenders will be caught, and when they are the court will fix the penalty.

ACT ON FROZEN
 BANK DEPOSITS
 IN NEAR FUTURE
Billion to Be Released From Closed Banks
 Without Delay

Washington, Oct 2l.-There will be no delay whatever in setting up the machinery for releasing $1,- G00,000,000 of frozen assets in closed banks throughout the coun- try. It will be done "quickly" as the president stipulated.
 The new appraisal boards sug- gested by the president will each confine their efforts to a federal reserve district and wherever pos 'sible they will release deposits up to 50 per cent.
 As was pointed out by Jesse H. Jones. chairman of the Recon- through which the existing agen- cies are operating, the deposit liquidation board already has a great deal of the information re- quired for the task, the REC pre- viously having made many ad- vances to banks in all sections. "Given the cooperation of deposit ors and state banking authorities, l" said MT Jones, there appears no reason why there should be delay"
 The White House statement was to the effect that "in cases where the condition of thu closed bank will justify 1t, proper consideration will be given to larger distribu- ton than 50 per cent.
 More than one distribution will be made as and if assets improve in value." Five years was set by Jones as the "probable period for orderly liquidation of all the banks assets"

'
 New York. Oct 21-UP)-An- other heavy selling movement hit the stock market in late trading to-day, orders clogging the tickers and prices dropped rapidly.
 Earlier slow strength, much or which was based on commodity advances and impending Russian recognition negotiations, was stop ped and losses extending to more than 8 points were chalked up. Trading picked up noticeably on the decline with tickers running behind the market.
 Behind the selling movement was Wall streets fear over the potentialities of the mid-western farmers strike. Brokers were deeply concerned over what may happen after the zero hour in this strike at midday to-day. Also there was considerable nervousness over French domestic affairs and hesitancy to trade until after President Roosevelts radio address tomorrow evening.
 Grains, after early strength, turned weak and cotton was about unchanged.
 Repeal stocks led the down. sweep. National Distillers dropped more than : points in active selling after an carly gain of about a point. American Commercial AL cohol had a loss of moro than g points after an early gain of more than 2 points. Much of this selling of repeal stocks could be traced to nervousness over government in-

whether 1t will be possible to make substantial progress in rcfunding the existing public debt. Two main lines of rcfunding have been pro- posed. One is the refunding of some or all of the outstanding Liberty bonds into securities bear ing lower rates of interest. Tho other Is tho rofunding of some or all of the present short-tcrm debt into longer-term securities that would make the government less dependent on the day-to-day de- velopments in the money market.
 While most of the original Liberty bonds have been retired, those still outstanding constitute more than one-third of the entire public debt. They consist of two issues, the First and the Fourth. Inasmuch as the governments re- cent issue of $500, 100000 in 3 IA per cent bodns was over-subscribed about six times, 1t would appear that the great bulk of outstanding Li berty bonds carry interest charges considerably in excess of the going" rate for treasury bor- rowing.
 Different considerations arise in onnection. with the refunding of the short-term debt. This debt consists of $953, 000, ,000 in treasury bills, all maturing this year; $1,- 643,000,000 in certificates of in- debtedness maturing this year and early next year, and s5,153,000,0 900 In treasury notes with maturites from 1884 to 1888. The notes, comprising the bulk of the short term debt, bear interest at rates ranging from 1a to 3N per cent. Rates currently paid on the other classes of short-term securities are even lower. The desirablty, therefore, of refunding these so- curites rests not on economy but on the fact that they place the treasury in Q position of consider able dependence on current condi- tons in the money market.
 May Prevent Rcfundlng
 The feature of the situation that has apparently prevented the treasury from following the ex- ample of England and France by taking steps in these directions. and that may continue to prevent such steps, is the fact that tho gov ernment Is facing the necessity of borrowing on an .almost unprece- dented scale for emergency expen- diturcs in the near future. Any re- funding operations that tended to disturb the market for government securities, even temporarily would seriously interefere with this new financing.
 The most favorable feature of the governments position at prcs- ent is the approach toward q bal anceN between revenues and ordi- nary expenditures. Treasury officials have recently expressed the belief that. if prohibition re. peal is achieved within the next few months. the resulting increase in internal revenue will be suffi- cient to bring the ordinary budget into balance within the current fiscal year. This prospect removes the fear of a permanent and un- manageable federal deficit that played such a large part in under mining business confidence until a few months ago. However, 1t does not alter the fact that the emer- gency expenditures now contem- plated will result in further large increases in the public debt. con fronting the government with a i- nancial problem that will go far toward dictating fiscal policy for many years to come.

London, Oct. 21-(UP)-There was little noticeable reaction on the London Stock Market today to the Soviet United States diplomatic negotiations, trading closing with the market showing a fairly good tone.
 Business was limited today as operators waited general world wide developments.
 Industrials were steady, oiIs gained slightly while textiles hard ened. Other home industriais were virtually unchanged. German bonds were firm but French bonds continued weak, a situation attrib- uted to the nervousness over the French political situation.

Washington, Oct 21--UP) - A marked improvement in the finan- rial condition of the government stsel9, and a five per cent decrease in unemployment relief needs from august to September. were bal eficed against business recessions by government economists today.
 Internal r5venue collections are setting new peace-timc record this month. They may reach $2O0,- 100000 treasury figures showed.
 Slight declines in tax collections on cigarettes. gasoline, telephones, checks and stock and commodity trading, which reflected business reverses. were more than offset by the yield for the new capital stock and dividend taxes. Miscellaneous internal revenue sky-rocketed to sf39,O76,33s the first IS days of this month.
 The decrease in relief needs was attributed to reemployment: whicn in turn was counted on to give new fife to the MIRA buying campaign.
