Kept. 2T- To rfav 'a stock market vras considerable different f mm th market of preceding day this week. e 5St: v .g- a aa nor mj www Is?' -"Maw ; f -.-r NEW YORK BOND TRANSACTIONS Reported by The Journal's Wail Street Hum a ; the market had yielded only slightly to specu lative pressure. Tb resistance today was considerably poorer Jr ".',5' i and Ue break 'in plained tlie decline by the more warlike tone of the mornsns's Con suntinoi.le dispatches won Id bare been the obvious tiling to do. But actually there waa still no real evidence that the troubles in the Near Kast were a major influence in the market. In the sense that they were probably one of the reason in ducing intending buyer to hold off, they beeped along professional operations for the decline in stack and contributed to the leas favorable tone of the bond market. But they gull hcwl only very moderately in the quarter which would hare been moat sensi tive to any genuine war scsre. namely, the wheat market, the foreign exchange and the money markets. For the most part the downward move ment to stocks was simply in the nature of a further readjustment of a speculative posi tion that had been rather overdone. Independent Stee.li Hit One of the chief weak spots wai the-so- ra!lcd independent steel shares Uie stock which were so violently exploited tiiree and fur months ago, wben the various merger nesitiations were the principal -pics of dis cussion. The street had tlie rertort that the opposition cf the federal trade commission might not prevent the H-iml'lir--M;ivale com bination but tt.at it would conij! a modifica tion erf the term so that these would seem le-s attractive from a market standpoint. But whether there wa anything in tliis story or liqr, tlie fact was tliat the sjculative move ment today waa rotrvctini: Uie extravagances of a previous circulation, a speculation based ution a distorted idea of what the merger ad vantages in Uie shape nf lower ccwta would mean for the values uf tlie constituent securi ties. Echo of Coal Strike Another akjiect of the stock market was that it. was finally refristering the effect of the great coal strike which it had ignored in the campaigns at the spring and summer. This subject was brought forward forcibly by the pawing of the dividend on Pittsburg Steel com mon an action for which as was shown by the severe break in tlie ' stocks, had been I wholjy unanticipated. .It wai suggested nn-plea-santlyagam by tlie Aneiit report of the Reading-'r-tjpical of the Anthracite camera showing a decrease of SI, 631.000 in gross and $1,144,000 in net income as compared with trie same month last year. August Statements Poor There seemed to be no particnlar logic in selling stocks because ' of poor August state ments. In the first place, tlie market, look ing as it should go forward and not backward 'must visualize tlie extraordinary tonnage in prospect for the next few months. In "the second place the August figures themselves, outside: of the roads which depend heavily upon coal traffic, are so far not turning out as bad aa expected. The effect of the shop men's strike was apparent in New York Cen tral's loss of "$-.7H7,0OO in operating income. However, the increase in gross of $1,137,000 over August. 1W21. was proof of how little the labor disturbances had atfected tlie gen eral business of the road. Coal Roads Hit Erie and B. 6t .., two oilier representative coal roads, proved to have been hit very hard by the A:igu.-t conditions. Tho B. & Oa net revenue wa down nearly $3,000,000 from last year and it oiiernled at a deficit of $648,190. The Krie talkd to earn fixed charges by nearly $2,000,000. However, all this is water ever the mill since latest re ports on carloadingn shew wtal for Uie week ended September lo, which is the largest eince last Octoter. Tiail way shares were inclined to harden somewhat in the afurrnoon. Hut in the gen eral list while the pressure was not ss great as it had been in the forenoon, Oie low prices were reached in the final hour. Steal Trad Favorable Weakness in the steel ?t wks certainly had nothing to do with current traile conditions, which,' aa set forth m the weekly reviews, are the most favorable of " any wetk so Jar. The rush to plaice orders for Meel rails ir. ml vaoee of the $3 price increase on October 1 has brought a record business to the rail mills. This, with the unusual demand for other railway equipment folloving the (.hop men's strike, ha brought total operations up to 70 per cent of capacity. The main point is thatriot only is this a comnlete rt-cve-ry of the ground lest in July and Amnu-t but the new bo-ines is beinc dr ne at rnuci mre profitable prices. Most Savors Break Today's break on the stock exchange was tha most revere of any eince the culmination of tha summer advance. Speculative efforts which had not been over successful in the previous days of the week finally overcame re sistance; and in the last hour there came a great flood of selling orders which swept prices down, all through the list and was still in prog runs at the close. It was no tuntil 10 minutes after the gong had sounded for busi ness to ceaiw that the recording instrument was able to print the last of the transactions.

Demand for killed and unskilled labor haa increased throughout the district, according to the re port, and in various sections there has been s shortage of skilled building trades artisans, farm laborers and miners, with accompanying increases In wages. v The lumber industry in the district is 60 per cent more active than in September of last year, both domestic and foreign markets buying in large quantities. Forest ftre has ard. particuUriy seriona this year on account of the long dry season, waa dispelled by gen eral rains during August and logging activity increased immediately. Production of logs September 1 waa estimated at 75 per cent of normal, compared with 40 per cent of normal on August 1. Increased output of the principal metals produced in the district, gold, silver, copper, lead and sine, is shown by figures for July, which are the latest available. Increasing de mand for all of these metals during the past year has been accompanied by a corresponding rise in prices and in some copper mining dis tricts of Arisoria wages have been advanced 14) per cent during the past few weeks. Increased Lumbering Activity Evidence of rapidly increasing activity in lumbering and mining in the 12th federal reserve district b contained in reports of the principal electrical power companies. In July sales of electr.cal power to the lumber indus try of the Pacific northwest were 20 per cent greater than during the corresponding month of last year and in the district as a whole sales of electrical power to the mining industry were 18.7 per cent greater in July, 1922. than in July. 1921. according to the report. Records of production and stored stocks of petroleum in California were broken during AuEust. Average daily production of 882,222 barrels was the highest ever reached in the state, according to the report, and stored stocks mounting to 54,272,194 barrels on Septem- 74 1 1 1 101 111 98 80 98 83 88 H 85 66 S3 to 99 86 gf 74 89 84 74 86 78 93 57 44 67 82 87 79 88 103 64 84 95 100 87 84 82 STANDAR DOIX ISSUES lSOAUngm Am.

' Building construction activity in the dis trict continued to be a dominant feature, especially in the larger centers of population. The number of building permits issued during August ' was greater than- since records were first assembled by the Federal Reserve bank 1915. the report stated, and value of rJro- iected construction has been exceeded ecuy in April and June of this year. Weather conditions up to September 15 remained favorable to agricultural crops of the district and the harvest is expected to yield. most cases, normal or more than normal Quantities. Forecasts for wheat remain un changed at 98.000,000 bushels, 24,000.000 bushels less than were produced in 1921, but slightly in excess of the five year average pro duction. Movement of this season's crop to market "has been slow. Flour mills are grind ing new crop wheat and in August operated at 47.2 per cent of capacity, compared with 28.7 per cent in July and 43 per cent in August. 1921. Ratal ITradt Grows Reports from the retail . trade showed the value of sales at 31 representative department tores in the district during August was, 5.7 per cent greater than during the corresponding month of 1921. and approximately eoual to the value of sales at the same stores in Au gust, 1020. Seven of ten reporting wholesale lines showed increases in the value of their sales in August, compared with August, 1-921. Charges of depositors accounts in the banks of 20 principal citiea of the district were 7.7 per cent greater in August than in the cor responding month of last year. This was a less favorable showing than in July, when an increase of 12 per cent over July, 1921. was reported, but indicates that business activity in the district baa not been generally cur tailed by the recent coal and railroad strikes. Business failures continue above normal levels. Increased demand for bank credit appeared In larger' cities of the district during August. Commercial loans of 68 reporting member banks increased from 3700,138,000 on Au gust 9 to $709,934,000 on September 6. a gain of 1.4 per cent. The same banks had rediscounts and bills . payable with the Federal Reserve bank amounting to $13,025,000 on September 6. compared with $9,362,000 on August 9. Country banks as a group reduced their borrowings from the Federal Reserve bank during the month and on September 13 total discounts of the Federal Reserve bank were $36,000 below the $43,388,000 held on August 16. Interest rates charged their cus tomers by banks in the principal cities of the district remained at 5 to to 7 per cent in the larger coast cities and 7 per cent in the interior industrial centers. The I'nited States Bureau of Labor index of wholesale prices. Including 404 commodi ties in all stages of manufacture, remained at 155 in August. The index has increased 12 per cent since January when it stood at 138. In a selected group of products of the 1 2th federal reserve district advances and declines in prices during the month were almost equally divided.
