BOSTON TRADE IS UNEASY Pressure Brought to Bear on Larger Merchants to Stop Trading With Other Dealers Legitimate Operations May Be Affected. While the wool market Ik still firm, with a fair degree of activity reported at East ern centers, there is an undercurrent of unsettlement and some degree of uneasi ness on the part of traders. This is due to Government action taken in the past week with the view to preventing speculation In the trade. . The view taken by wool men at Boston is thus expressed by the Com mercial Bulletin: The upward tendency of prices, however, which had been In evidence for some time. Is meeting with not a little opposition, for riot only have the mills kept up their usual "bearish" pressure, but the wool supply committee has also come into action this week, with a view to preventing further rises In prices, by stopping speculative trading. This action of the Government committee has been taken In the form of a general query to the larger merchants as to whether hey are willing to cease trading with other dealers and if not what their reasons are for taking the contrary point of view. " The query, as will be noted. Is couched In the most general terms and consequently is opening the subject for the widest possi ble consideration. Needless to say, there is not a little discussion of the matter through the trade, the general tenor of which is that, while undoubtedly the letter of In quiry was Inspired by patriotic motives, the application of a plan such as suggested on n unrestricted scale would work out great hardship to a large number of men legiti mately engaged In business and even pre vent perfectly legitimate transactions be tween the various houses which do a strict ly merchandising business. What the result of this query will be remains to be seen and Just what "conditions" prompted the wool supply committee to Issue the letter In question is also a matter of not a little spec ulation. It Is quite evident in the last anal ysis, that the trade is not in any mood to accept without debate a programme of such radical and sweeping Intent. RELIEF OF DOMESTIC WOOL SHORTAGE TVool Conservation Movement Is Spreading Over Country. The wool conservation movement has in creased Interest in sheep raising all over the country and organizations composed of sheep ranchmen and chambers of commerce In various cities are holding meetings for the purpose of Increasing the number of Bheep raised for wool production. An Important meeting Is now belns, held In Utlca, N. T., by the Chamber of Com merce and Rotary Club of that city and the Ke York. Agricultural Society. The Bheep meeting at Milwaukee on No vember 22 will be held under the auspices of the Wisconsin Advancement Association and the Upper Peninsula Development Bu reau. The object of the meeting is to en courage the raising of sheep and 'to advo cate the use of logged-off timber lands In Northern Wisconsin and Michigan for sheep grazing purposes, as there are 10,000,000 acres available there. Land Association haa recently been formed in the South, composed of owners of cut over land. The function of this body la to encourage sheep culture In that section of the United States. DECEMBER OATS SOLD OX BOARD Hundred Tons Eastern Clipped Taken at $45.25 Spot Local Oats Lower. One hundred tons of 38-pound Eastern clipped oats were sold at the Merchants' Exchange yesterday at $45.25 for December delivery. For Northwestern oats $48 was bid for November and $48.50 for December. Barley offers averaged about 50 cents higher. One hundred tons of No. 3 yellow corn, Jan vary delivery, sold at $52.50.

The situation In the market at Boston so far as mohair is concerned Is" still in the doldrums, says the Commercial Bulletin. Demand is very light and holders are find ing It difficult to get anything like the prices they think they ought to receive. Quotations are hardly more than nominal. The situation In Yorkshire, so far as the uiauui.i.tuicia inuiiair guuun are con cerned, is anything but a healthy one. Stocks of raw mohair are very short. Indeed, it is rather expected, in view of the scarcity of tonnage available for the purpose, that there will be not a little machinery standing idle in me near ruture. Advices from the Cape are to the effect that operations there have heen limited. with freight accommodations militating against the putting through of sales. STORAGE APPLE STOCKS LARGER Holdings In Northwest Are 182.6 Per Cent Larger Than Tear Ago. The Government statistics on storage ap ple holdings in the United States on Octo ber 15 have already been given in these oelumns.

LOCAL CRANBERRY PRICES ADVANCED Market Higher In Sympathy with Strength In East. II waco cranberries were quoted on the street at $14(915 a barrel, the advance being due to the higher prices named on Kastern cranberries. Jersey late Howes were quoted at $16.50 17.50 to arrive.

ENTIRE LIST IS AFFECTED United States Steel Goes to Its Lowest Quotation of Tear. War Taxes Are Influence on Trading: Sentiment. NEW TORK, Nov. 1. The stock market was in the throes of another convulsion to day, liquidation encompassing the entire list at extreme recessions of 3 to 10 points. Lowest prices were made in the feverish final hour, no support being offered even at marked concessions. Selling was of a wider and ,more urgent character and was frequently accelerated by bear drives. Recent efforts of officials of the exchange to minimize or restrict such speculative operations culminated in of ficial action by the exchange requiring members to report their borrowings of stocks to the committee on business con duct. No new factors presented themselves, but the discouragement created by recent de velopments was Increased by predictions that war taxes are likely to become more onerous. Financial statements issued during the day by various industrial corporations bore pertinently upon the Government's policy of taxation. In keeping with all active markets the greater part of today's upheaval centered around United States Steel. That stock was offered to the extent of 600.0O0 shares, or more than 33 per cent of the whole, at an extreme decline of 7 to points to Ki. its lowest quotation of the year, clos ing with a feeble rally. Rails were liquidated in greater quan tities, many Investment Issues of that group, notably Pacifies and coalers, declining 2 to 5 points where they registered new low records for periods of 5 to 20 years. All the equipments. Including conspic uous war stocks, suffered declines of 3 to 6 points, likewise Mexicans, coppers, oils and a sscore of miscellaneous issues. Sales amounted to 1,400,000 shares, the largest single session since the inception of the decline. Increased weakness was shown by bonds of all grades, especially internationals. Lib erty 4s were Inactive at par and the 8tos fluctuated between 99.74 and 99.84. Total bond sales, par value. $5,640,000. United States bonds, old issues, were unchanged on call.

Action was taken by the governing committee of the New York Stock Exchange today with a view to minimizing short selling In the market. Members of the Exchange hereafter will be required to supply for the inspection of the business conduct committee of the Ex change lists and amounts of stocks bor rowed or loaned by them or borrowed for customers, stock borrowing being the basis of short selling. The action comes as culmination of recent severe declines in the stock market, which today carried prices down to the lowest levels of years and for which market observers have held short selling to be partially responsible. According to one of the governors of the Exchange, the procedure adopted today will enable the embargo authorities to determine the source of the selling, and "whether it comes from German interests, whether It Is of .a vicious character." There was no in tention, said the spokesman, to put a ban on short selling as a legitimate transaction. Where found to be vicious, he said, the names of the sellers would be published, if such a step was found necessary to stop the praotlce. He added that the Stock Exchange "was working in complete harmony with the government. Metal Market. NEW YORK, Nov. 1. Metal Exchange quotes tin strong, oa.auc Dia. Lead strong; spot, 6c bid.

WEATHER REPORT BEARISH Increased Movement of Xew Grain Predicted Offerings Light and Efforts of Shorts to Cover Lead to Gradual Recovery. CHICAGO, Nov. 1. Corn prices averaged lower today, largely because of sympathy with weakness In the New York stock mar ket. The close was unsettled at $1.17 for December and $1.13 for May c down to c up, compared with 24 hours before. Oats gained toe to Hc. Provisions scored a net advance of 80c to $1.47. Although Wall street depression formed the chief bearish element in the corn mar ket, weather conditions likely to promote the movement of new grain tended also to pull down values. Besides crop esttmstes from a leading authority Indicated that the 1917 yield per acre was three-quarters of a bushel more than had been predicted on Oc tober 1. Trade, however, was the smallest for a long time and when shorts tried to cover on a moderate scale In the last half of the session a gradual recovery set In. Smallnens of current receipts acted as a noticeable handicap for the bears. Firmness in the oats market was ascribed chiefly to the fact that arrivals here con tinued meager. Big advances In the cost of hogs csrrled provisions sharply upgrade, Washington ad vices emphasizing the scarcity of the hog supply, stimulated demand, especially for pork. Commission houses and shorts were the principal buyers. Leading futures ranged as follows: CORN. Open. High. Low. Close. Ter $117 $1.17 $1.17 $1.17 May 1.12 1.13 1.12 1.13 OATS.
