FINANCIAL NEWS DISPOSITION TO REALIZE PROFITS HOLDS SWAY AND STOCKS SELL LOWER Trading Element on Floor Finds Opportunity for Resum ing Bearish Operations, Helping Along the Declines in General Market High Point fin Today's Financial News StockB reacted in Wall street, many speculative interests taking profits. Lower prices'ruled on Curb. Wheat closed higher. Cotton declined. Phila delphia national banks held record deposits on last call for condition by Comptroller of Currency. Price of bar silver unchanged in New York and London. W :MVtfct Sal ftwmjmm,.. . Jk CO. NEW YORK, March 22. . Tho lonR-awalted reaction cntne In the stock market today, when tho chief feature In the trodlng was the disposition on tho part of many npeculatlve Interests committed to the long sldo to reallzo the liberal profits which have accrued on their holdings. Tho trading element on tho floor found this a good opportunity for resuming bearish operations, and the result of tho supply from both sources was the sharpest declines which have been recorded In the market for some time. United States Steel common, which moved up to 116 In the Initial trad ing, quickly dropped to below 116, nnd many of the wnr-order mid equipment stocks, after making vigorous gains In tho forenoon, reacted nnd showed material net losses In tho last half of the day. The story was virtually tho same In nil the active Issues. Utah Copper was ono of the weakest, declining more than 2 points; but tho market position of this stock has been especially weakened by the fact that tho purchases for tho purpose of adding to Kennecott holdings have tem porarily ceased and loaves the stock without this support. Kennecott, on tho other hand, showed n strong tone, advancing mora than 1 point, holding above 47 during a good part of the day. There was much In the trading In this slock to Indicate that a contest for control may bo pending. The railway Issues for a time In tho afternoon showed strength on buying based on reports from Washington that the Interstate Commerco Commission would soon grant iln Increase in freight rates, and Importance was attached to the calling of a meeting of railroad managers In Washington. But late In the day theso stocks also reacted, although some of them at the end held part of the gains mado on the earlier movement. llonds were fairly active, with a generally firm tone shown In the leading railway and Industrial Issues. Baltimore nnd Ohio 5s nnd Union Pacific An made slight gnlns. Anglo-French fs wero unchanged, with sales nt 02 and 92-)i. PROFIT-TAKING BY CURB TRADERS CAUSES DECLINES IN MANY STOCKS NEW YOBK, March 22. Many of the stocks on the Broad Street Curb followed tho lend of the , active issues on the Stock Exchange nnd sold nt lower prices, traders showing a disposition to realize profits In Issues In which substantial upturns had occurred. This was most pronounced In tho Independent oil stocks and was reflected In n further decline In Mcrrltt Oil from -29Ta to 28'i. Sinclair dropped from 56?i to 56U, and Elk Basin yielded from 13 to 12V4. Interest was attached to tho continued demand for "Anc Concentrating because of the official announcement that the company had taken an option to lease the Marlon mines In Colorado for ten years on a royalty basis. Accord ing to present expectations, the Zinc Concentrating Company plant at the Utah Apex property will be ready about June 1, and Is expected to add J60.000 per annum to tho company's earnings. I.lma Locomotive was exceptionally strong, selling nt from 60 to 62. There wns a strong tone also to l'cdcral Oil, which advanced from 6 to 6'V Submarine sold at 23H. Mldvale Steel was strong In the early dealings, advancing from 61 to 61;, but later yielded to 60?i.
