Wall etreet, m rcprcscntlns financial Interests and tho control of o many consolidated Industries, was unsettled this morning when It was called on to face tho drastic cut In tho price of soft coal determined by President Wilson's announcement. There was little else spoken of In the financial district except this fixing of tho soft coal prlco and the Indications which wero carried as to what the President may do with steel, copper and anthracite coal. PlttsburBh Coal, which had made contracts caily In tho car at prices far abovo anythluB tho company had obtained for Us product In Its previous his tory, showed a loss of more than 6 points during the day as a result of selling by Important coal-trado Interests. Steel Industrials, sugar stocks and shares of such Industries as American Woolen and Ccntrnl Leather were unsettled In their market movements and sustained losses of 1 to 4 points. The prico-flxing determined on by tho Govern ment was like "manna In the wilderness" to the bears. Month after month they havo conducted bear operations with constant substantial losses, but for the last few weeks tho bear traders and tho uptown plungers have hnd the market to themselves, and have been persistently putting out short lines of stocks. A few stocks showed strength at Intervals, but oh the day. progressed atten tion was attracted to Bethlehem Steel "B" because of a steadily Increasing and urgent demand which became most pronounced In the last hour of trading. In the first hour this stock sold down 2 points to 107'.,. but all offers were steadily absorbed at advancing prices and In tho lato trading this growing demand forced tho stock up to abovo 112, a gain of more than 5 points from Its low price of the morning. There was little feature to the bond market during tho day, business being In small amounts and fluctuations narrow, except In the Government Issues. Liberty Bonds ranged from 99.91 to 99.S4, with dealings In these Issues continuing on an oxtiemcly large scale. NEW YORK STOCK SALES Itlnh Alaska Gold Mines nil Allls Chalmers ...

The bears In the stock market used the an nouncement to cause unsettlement In the market, bringing about reactions In prices throughout the general list. The greatest Influence as far as the market was con cerned was In the coal Issues, this being more pronounced In the Wall street list, where Pittsburgh Coal was under constant pressure from the start, showing a wide decline. The general opinion In the Street was that the cut In coal would be hcncflclal to the steel and equipment companies as well as the different manufacturing companies nnd railroads. Against this, however, traders took Into consideration tho possibility of a drastic cut In steel prices which would wipe out tho benefit derived from the lower coal price. Railroads have been cau tious about making new contracts for soft coal and this will give them an opportunity of taking care of their wants. With regard to the probablhiv .. In the steel prices, dispatches frel S burgh today said that the at..i .'l1? did not take seriously the osslhim"' very drastic action on th. t..,.??.,1i,?1 ernment. Officials of th pi..i...
