POULTRT Htns. :8027c; Springs, 279 Crop Report and Xew Exchange Rules Given as Reasons for Slump. Foreign Bonds Firm. NEW YORK, Sept. 9. Stocks broke si- most violently in the latter part of today's session, the early and intermediate periods having been characterized by unusual dull ness and unimportant price changes. The decline, which extended from two to four points among the more popular specu lative favorites, lacked explanation, al though the setback was coincident with the publication of the crop report. Studenta of market conditions were disposed to offer an other reason for the precipitate decline. Today'a session marked the inauguration of tne new tock Exchange regulation re quiring members to make dally reports of their bank loans. As the market's barometer. United States Steel was subjected to the heaviest selling at an extreme decline of 3H points. only a fraction of which was regained. Other Industrials and high-grade rails yielded easily. Sales amounted to 335,000 shares. International bonds. notably French municipals, were firm, but liberty 84s and other domestic issues yielded variably. To tal sales, par value, were $0,77o,oo0. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.
