Aside From Argentine Crop Reports, Xews of the Day Is Mostly N Bullish. Sentiment of Speculators Generally Is Pessimistic Steel Trade Con ditions Not Satisfactory Bonds Are Heavy. NEW TORK, Doc. 2. The reactionary movement with which the week In the stock: market began was continued today, material losses be in registered throughout the list. Sentiment has apparently taken a pessimis tic turn and evidence was forthcoming to account for the set sock. In various lines of trade, mora particularly the steel Indus try, conditions are sot calculated to inspire confidence and the ease with which prices have crumbled offers strong proof that re cent efforts to create bullish sentiment have been abortive. Rumors were current, too. today, that the pool which is commonly sup- posed to have engineered the recent upward movement has dissolved, leaving a large part of its holdings, estimated Into the hundreds of thousands of shares, unsold. The Controller of the Currency submitted another batch of statements of condition of National banks as of November 10 last. Not a few pf these Institutions reported a fur ther expansion of loans and discounts. In stead of the hoped-for contraction. Recovery was made In the stock market during the final hour and some fractional gains were shown, but this was due in measure to short covering. London's oper ations here were moderately extensive for both accounts, the balance probably repre senting purcnases of about 10,000 shares. European markets were firm. The Im perla.1 Bank of Germany reported a cash lotta of more than $17,500,000, a loan in crease of SS.50o.000 and a loss in gold of almost sii.ouo.ooo. The bond market was heavy. Total sales. par value, S1.700.0O0. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Daies. 400 0,400 APPLE MARKET DRAGS IIFFICn,T TO INTEREST BUY ERS AT PRESENT TIME.

Conditions In the stock market led to unexpected setbscks In wheat when other news was strong and th regular shorts were covering. The argument waa that the downward course of securities af fected business in other directions and that It was no tlm to bull anything. Simultan eously reports were current tbat the water situation, for Minneapolis flour mills was ser ious. Selling, due to New York and Minne apolis reports was accelerated by denials that the outlook for Oklahoma wheat was as bullish as had been reported. Earlier in the day, an authoritative estimate had been received raising tbe Argentine export surplus to 112.000.UOO bushels. Ths day's range for May was from 86.c to 7,e. with tbe close TtC off, at the lower level. Corn, anecteo Dy wneat, ten naca some what.
