NHW VOUK. Oct. 2. The publlshod storloa nliout tlio formation of a $200,000,000 money pool rlfd Wall streets' hopes lilnh before tho openlni,' of the Htock niurket this mornlliK, the general usHUmptlon lielnp Hint thl new bankln? nccominottntloti tould crento mi easy comlitlon In the money marlcet und provliio needed funds for speculative operations In old-tlmo volume. TIiIh fcellnR was reflected In n nhow rof utretiRth In the Initial trading, when many utoelts made gains raliBliiB from 1 to 3 points, but tho strong tone iulckly disappeared, stocks being pressed for sale from many sources and the day's trudlng resulted In the most severe losses that have been so far recorded In n period of liquidation and bearish activity. St. Paul, which closed yesterday at 53, sold down to DO, the new low record for this movement. Statements that present prices tire the lowest ever touched by this stock aro Incorrect, as It sold down to 11 on April 12, 1S77, the same day the Northwest sold at 1616. Baltimore and Ohio continued Its downward movement, falling moro than 3 points to 69Vi, and New York Central, which dropped 2 to 73, bold nt u now low record, passing its previous low of 74R4, made on September C. Tho industrial Issues were generally ntihottled after the opening, selling off nbout the same extent as the leading railroad stocks. United States Steel, nfter an early advance to 111, told down to 108U. and proportionate losses were sustained In Baldwin Locomotive, Bethlehem Steel "IV and Crucible Steel. American Can, which has been In speculative favor for some days, made a good advance In tho first hour, but this gain was later turned In'o a net lot of about 1 point. There was a disposition to attribute a good part ol the selling to liquidation of foreign holdings, but calculations as to tho effect or war taxes and attention attracted to tlio railway situation by tho publication of the Auttuht statements in the last few days undoubtedly caused uneasiness among actual holders of stocks. Transactions In the Liberty Loan continued to demand most attention in tho bond market. "Large blocks of these bonds changed hands at prices ranging from 100 to 99.94, with sates on ten-day contracts at 99.92. ' Financial Uncertainty Swept Away A Good deal of tho fog of uncertainty has been swept from tho financial situation, but tho lack of public participation In tho upward movement In stocks, together with the modification of u large part of tho short Interest, Is making for a condition In tho stock market that may take a good deal of tlmo und patience to overcome. Public Interest Is the most important requisite for a genuine swing upward in values. It may bo paid that there i little lur-pr.M'-c to put prices much higher. Mailict liMten ;uc falling back on tlio ilit.i tl.at there will not bo much of a decline In view of the starting of the new Liberty Bond campaign, and say that It Is not altogether Improbable that by the tlmo It Is over tho foundation will havo been laid for a-constructlve bull movement. There Is still liquidation of high-grade stocks by investors in order to put funds In the Government Issue, resulting In lower prices than for years, but bankers aro expected to see to It that daredevil bearish speculators will be prevented from scaring people Into liquidating their securities. As a matter of fact, since tho moro conspicuous bearish operators were warned by prominent Interests, tho worm has turned and it Is their turn to watch their step even while proceeding cautiously. General, Business Increasing Itcports from all over tho country regarding general business Indicates a better sentiment with an Increasing volume. Merchants are showing great faKh In the buying power of the country, duo to tho large scale of wages and small .taxation of these wages as leading to an Increased demand for goods by this class of tho population as tho first step toward a further Increase after the scare brought out by the war adjustment Is passed. This Important phase of the general economic situation may act as a good barometer to tne future course of the stock market. That th,e steel Industry is coming to like the Government scalo of prices was shown more plainly today In replies to Inquiries at all of the important points. Tlio one factor In tho trade that stands out conspicuously Is the removal of uncertainty. Under the one price for all systems, prices the United States will pay for Its tteel are better than many have been arranged. Outside interests will get their steel at lower prices than they have been paying, but not, on an average, at lower prices on steel shipped so far this year. Tho Important point Is that steel manufacturers had no assurance that tho public would buy large tonnages at the hitherto prevailing rnte of high quo tations. There was always the danger existing that the market would break within a few months to a level lower than now decreed, and It Is quite certain, too, that even If the war continued to last the very high prices for steel could not have been obtained Indefinitely were It possible for tho steel industry to pro dure at capacity. COTTON ADVANCES ON GINNERS' REPORT Heavy and Excited Buying Fol lows Announcement, Causing Big Jump in Prices NEW YOIIK. Oct. 2. Heavy and excited buying, due to a bull ish Government condition report which was below the average expectations and small glnnig figures, caused a big Jump in prices for cotton today. There was extensive sell ing, believed to represont liquidation of long hedges held by foreign Interests, largely for Japanese account, but It did not have much effect. There were few bearish opinions uround the ring. The market responded to a' hvilllsh gin n:rs' report and opened 23 to 2G points higher. New Orleans was a seller here and Ltverpool bought generally. The weather wa fine over the belt, but Interest centered chiefly on the ginning figures, which were about 1,500,000 bales smaller than at the .same time last year. After the start there was considerable realizing, which weakened prices about 15 points from the opening levels October December January March . . May Spot ....

OctyB. There was a lack of snap to the trading In corn today, but tho market developed a strong undertone after It had been woaker. Popular sentiment was bearish early and tho , Boiling was general. Com mission houses nbsorbed the surplus that caused the break and held what they had purchased. g Local Interests that were short tried to cover, helping to strengthen prices. Sales by tho country were small, and bears kept In the background as much as possible, becauso of tho scarcity of offerings. ltecent frvstn.wero not severe nnd latest reportn of temperatures Indicated that they were quite seasonable throughout the belt. Unsettled conditions, however, were fore cast, and It was predicted that tho weather would bo a. Uttio cooler tonight, but, that It would be warmer tomorrow. Tho ques tion of changing the maximum price is still a disturbing element. The market at Liverpool was Hrmer on light export clearances; a continued good demand for spot and the strlko In Argen tina, which has reached all shipping ports. Tho political situation there remains un settled with sentiment strongly against the Government. The high on December was J 1.19', 3 ; the low I1.17?h. and the close $1.19H bid, against JLlSi at the end yesterday; tho top on Stay was .1.16; tho low 11.11 tt, and the close S1.188, compared with $1.15 at the end yesterday. Oats were dull, but was helped by tho recovery of corn and strength in the cash article. Offerings decreased, and there was scattered buying by local Interests who had sold early. The country sold nothing' over night. The Improvement In the cash market was In the face of an absence of bids for export houses. The export at Liverpool was easier, with stocks fair and consumption moderate. The boat, on December was 60c; tho low B7iC, anu tne cioso uc, compares witn 68c, tho final quotation of yesterday. The high on Mny was 61j: the bottom 605&C, and the final Gl'.i OGl'Jc, agamst CO Tic, the clote yeBterday.
