Labor Conditions and Fresh German
Attack on Russia TJsed by
Bears to Depress Market.
Money Market Nervous.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22. The Government's
action In enforcing reduced prices for soft
coal, with the belief that similar proceed
ings are to be Instituted In regard to an
thracite coal, created widespread unsettle
ment on the stock exchange today.
Coalers and shares of roads which de
rive the greater part of their revenue from
the transportation of that commodity re
acted sharply at extreme declines of 2 to 7
points. Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
declining 10 points.
Labor conditions In their bearinff on the
shipbuilding situation and reports of a fresh
Teutonic offensive against Russia were
among the additional developments used by
the bears to depress values. Trading en
compassed an unusual variety of stocks and
many "stop" orders were uncovered.
Total sales. 770,000 shares.
The money market reflected to an extent
the nervous state of the securities list, call
loans ruling at 3 per cent. Time loans were
unchanged, but funds were In lighter supply.
Bonds were heavy, liberty 34s selling at
99. S8 to 99.9B. Total bond Bales, par value,
aggregated $2,285,000.
