In the absence of constructive developments, the securities market this week entered upon another period of liquidation, the decline receiving substantial assistance from an emboldened short interest. Selling was most active and price im pairment most severe in a number of low grade "promotion" issues, especially oils and a few shares of no special classifica tion. The reaction ultimately affected other stocks of more stable character. - Among issues exempt from the general decline were rails, metals and representa tive industrials of the steel division.- United States steel, for example, continued to re flect its strong tonnage position. The money and foreign exchange mar kets contributed largely to the shrinkage of quotations. . Demand loans manifested marked relaxation, but time money was al most unobtainable, even at 64 per cent for the short dates. 1 ' Partly because of the latest and more menacing conditions in eastern Europe, but mainly because of continued delay va ef fecting remedial measures, foreign ex change once more moved strongly against London and European centers. The ster ling rate fell to $3.68 U. The receptive -attitude of American in vestors and bankers toward foreign olfer ings was strikingly illustrated in the suc cess which attended the $25,000,000 Bel gian roan. Money, Exchange, Etc.
