"A FINANCIAL NEWS NEW YORK AND PHILADELPHIA STOCK QUOTATfo? LIQUIDATION STOPS IN WALL STREET WHEN RESERVE BANK MAKES DEPOSIT Action of Government Institution Brings About Relaxa tion in Money Situation Stock Market Then Turns Upward High Points in Today's Financial News Wave of liquidation in Wall street ended when Federal Reserve Bank made a deposit with New York banks, relieving tlw money situation. Slocks then. recovered all around. Pennsulvania Railroad broke through par in morning. Broad Street Curb not influenced by action of big board. Grain and cotton higher. Bar silver jumped 2 rents in New York to another new high mark. More gold sent to South Amrriea. N15W YOKK, Sept. C. Tlio wavo of liquidation resulting' from bear ntlackM ami from tho tension In tho money market was ended ubruptly shortly tiftcr tho opening of tho stock market today, when tho Federal Kuscrvo Uanlc tnatlo Its substantial deposit with tho local bunking institutions mill caused mi abrupt rcloMttloti of tho money tension. Thcro wj.h Fomo selling by tho western t-neculntlvo clement at tho beginning of business, causing IrrcK'Unr changM, but from n short period nfter tho opening prleo movements wero lu nearly nil cases to materially higher figures. Tho supply of call money nt 0 prr cent, which was offered early In tlio day, was followed by opening loans tit I per cent, and this casing of tho money into removed about the only incentive for selling stocks on cither long or short account. When the market started upward tho demand Increased and advances ln stocks wero accompanied by various reports of what tho Govern ment would do lit tho matter of price-fixing. Instead of tho alarming storlea of a few days ago assertions were mado that tho price of finished steel products would bo fixed nt $6S, and that copper would bo taken at 23 cents a pound. Tho upward movement In tho list extended over a wide range. Texas Company tnudo a gain of more than 0 points, whllo tho two leading copper stocks, Anaconda and Utah Copper, both moved up nioro jhan 6 points. United Stutcs Steel common returned Un market leadership and after selling at lOIH showed tho way for other steel industrials by steadily advancing until Its prleo crossed 109. During tho morning Pennsylvania Kallroad told down to -Sr:i, tho lowest tilueo 18D5. Tha gains mado ln tho various speculative Issues did not, liuncvcr, fully Indlcato the buying power which was displayed from tho opening. 1'uylng orders camo lu a flood from what tho Street calU "bargain hunters," but thcro was also a demand for largo amounts from banking Interests and Important financiers. Only a small part of theso orders vtcrc executed, as tho market quickly passed abovo tho prleo limits at which the orders were placed. Tho bears had llttlo to say about tho rumors which vcrc current yesterday, as most of theso rumors proved to bo without foundation. Investigation of tho report that a measuro would bo introduced into Congress to close tho ritock ISxchangc proved tlto report to be wholly baseless. CJovcrnnient bonds wero generally steady at the low levels prevailing for so long u time. The Liberty Loan declined from 99.t;o, but quickly rallied- -7- NEW YORK STOCK SALES t v: n5.i.SJ' '38.' llleh. AJax Kubbcr ... Alaska Gold St.. " Allls-Clialmers Co 2 Hi do pref S'"51 Am AKr Cheat..
