The day's trading on tho Stock Kxchnnso was confused, ndvnnces nnd declines occurring at tho same time In different Rroupfi, with tho most Important chances to lower figures. New Haven, tho oldtlmo prime Investment of the financial world, was without support and was made a target for bear attacks all through tho day, ranging from 30 down to the new low record of 2"i, AH kinds of stories wero In circulation, but no other reason was needed to explain the adjustment In market position other than that It has no dividend prospects In tho near future and must he classed with Krle, Southern Railway and Missouri l'aclllc. Tho soiling of New York Central was not explained from tho tlmo It first broke below 80. Today It was In continued supply, nnd after a rally to 77A sold down to tho new low record of 75, a block of C500 changing hands at this figure. Other rullrond stocks wero naturally Influenced by the manner In whlcl, New Haven broke. Union Pacific was strong nt the start, but later dropped about 2 points, and St. Paul and Reading both showed substantial losses. The Industrials varied constantly In market tone, with frequent displays of strength nnd weakness in tho leading steel and coppers. Tho widest range was In C.cnernl Motors, which dropped from 108 to 102. llutto and Superior was not influenced to any great extent by the cutting of the dividend rato In half fiom the amount of the June distribution. Call money was easy enough, renewing at 4 per cent and lending ns low ns 3?i per cent In the lato afternoon. Itallrond bonds were heavy, with New York Central debenture 6s selling down to 98 Vi. Anglo-French Gs nlso sold at concessions, with tho bulk of tho trading at 03 and 33. Liberty Bonds ranged from 99.04 to 99.80. NEW YORK STOCK SALES . 41 Hi .ion . 70 , S4 07 U llldli.
