WIDE FALL IN SPECIALTIES;
RAILROAfl SHARES STRONG
Studebaker, at Lowest Point, Was Off More Than 21
Points Short Interest More Extensive United
States Steel Held Up Well
NEW YOllK, Oct. 28.
Tho outstanding feature of tho stock market today was the wldo fall In
the war specialties, losses extending to more thnn 21 points, this being in
Studebaker, whllo Baldwin, Crucible, General Motors and Maxwell Motors
were also considerably lower. Haldwln, for Instance, was oft nearly 10 polntB,
whllo General Motors was down 11 points. Railroad shares, on tho other hand,
were relatively strong throughout tho day, somo of them ending tho day at
their best. Some of tho losses sustained by the specialties wcro recovered
beforo tho close.
Among the standard Issues United States Steel common was tho most active.
It was offered down from tho start, but held up well undor heavy selling. Tho
buying of the stock was good. This was shown by tho fact that It moved
within tho range of a point, and the greater part of tho time was only a small
fraction or so under. Tho resignation of tho French Cabinet, nows of which
came over beforo tho oponlng of tho Exchange, had a great deal to do with tho
unaottlement In tho general market.
Declining prices always create doubt. Their ostensible causes and the be
havior of the general list Is testimony to tho underlying strength of the market
position. The market is now a two-sided one. A week ago there was hardly a
short In sight ! now thcro Is evidence of the presences of quite an extensive posi
tion on this side. The floor trader, who has been assiduously feeling for the top
for a week or so past, has made a great deal of money very quickly, tho tempta
tion to go short of specialties like Baldwin being almost Irresistible. Several
large operators have also conducted determined assaults on what appeared to
be vulnerable spots with tho Idea of dislodging stock.
Erie common again stands out as one of tho strongest stocks on tho list,
and strong buying continues. Besides tho general reasons for a bullish atti
tude on Erie there Is an understanding, which Is apparently well founded,
that negotiations aro under way for a leasing of the company's coal lands on
profitable terms. A good deal of nonsense Is heard about a big pool In Erlo
which Is making tho market in that stock. It is true that largo speculative
holding of the stock, accumulated at lower prices, aro being carried for tho
purpose of distribution later, but tho idea of a pool in tho old sense of the
term Is absurd. In tho last analysis tho public controls tho market In Erlo
Just as it does In Pennsylvania or Steel. Southern Railway, which resembles
Erie in that It has a broad market, Is developing strength and activity. Today
it sold at a new high mark. Authorltattvo reports aro that business in the
South la showing a marked tendency toward improvement. This naturally
finds reflection In a stock like Southern Railway common, which Is easy to carry.
Within the next day or so, probably tomorrow, announcement will be made
that tho Tennessee Copper Company has secured tho services of a prominent
official of the International Nickel Company, who will servo as vlco president.
Tho Individual Is a decided acquisition for the Tennessee Company In tho develop
ment of its chemical business. Ho is understood to have been to a very
large degree responsible for the building up of tho Nickel Company to its pres
ent great prosperity.
Although tho directors of the Consolidated Gas Company declared an extra
dividend at their meeting today, placing the stock on a 7 per cent, annual basis,
the company's stock was weak on the Exchange, at ono tlmo being off over
five points after having shown strength.

tho control of tho Pennsylvania Steel
Company. It was averred that at a meet
ing held some tlmo ago, nnd attended by
nil parties concerned, the decision had
been practically reached to dispose of
tho company to Charles M. Schwab.
Thereafter certain Interests present
chnnged their nttltudo and wero powerful
enough to switch tho sale to tho Donner
faction, as tho latter held tho much-talkcd-of
option wltlt Its unusual clause
giving permission to meet any bid mado
by any one else. BInce then both sides
havo been reticent In discussing the mat
ter except privately. Today Charles M.
Schwab, when asked concerning tho pros
pects of tho IJethlehem Steel getting the
Pennsylvania Steel, said ho preferred not
to talk. Ho added, however, that, with
out wishing to criticise any company, ho
felt It would require considerable capital
In order to place tho concern on a basis
nt which It would yield a good return on
the Investment.
A further advance In prices for steel
products failed to provent general reac
tions In tho steel shares hero following
the set-back In theso Issues on the New
York Stock Exchange. Both Drill and
Cambria accompanied United States
Steel on Its downward course during the
morning, but met support around mid
day and rallied quite sharply In the closing
dealings. Cramp Shipbuilding sold oft
more than 2 points beforo a rally occurred
