Oct. 24. , The most Important feature of the trading In the whorl day, curtailed liy the Liberty Loan obervnnce, was the pronounced piessinc against rnltwify Issues, which cnnled I'nltm Pacific down 2 points more, mailing that stock sett below 118 foi tho first time In man jearr. Tills selling mocment canio to a Krent extent thrmiKh lirokern often IkukJIImr the accounts of hear plunRers, untl they claimed that Its incentlte was found In the statement of cuinlnpi for tho month of September by fnlon Pacllle, published jestetday. showlriK a loss In net Income cf more than $800,000 for that month. This fallltiK ort In ieenuo Is In lino v.lth the statements that had been Issued b many of the railway sys tems In the last three months Other lepoits for the month of September will be Issued dally until about November 1, ..-lien the New York Central, Pennsylvania and Krlc flfjures will be m me public. The decline In Union Pacllle was followed bj substantial los&es in other railway stocks, Including Canadian Pacllle. St. Paul and IttadlnR. , Industrials moved In an Irregular manner, partly because of an absence of important Interests In the Stieet In connection with tho Liberty Loan arrange ments, which left many stocks without piotection. Ilaldwln Locomotive, which had been the strongest feature in the preceding part of the week, after selling at 02. dropped to CO, and losses of 1 point or mote were made In other steel Indus trials, with Uctlileheni Steel "15" coveling most giound, trading in that stock ranging from 84st to S2. There was good bujlng of Atlantic Oulf and West Indies, holding that stock strong in n gcnerall waveiing maikct, anil It made an advance In tho early tiadlug of more than a point to 107. A little steadier tone was shown In the list genciollv In tho Until dealings. Tiio bond markei w.. quiet, with a stead tone in Liberty lionds Itallway and other bonds wile neglected and the few transactions made were without Im portant changes In prices Reopening of Freight Rate Case Wall stre't is gratified over the action taken by the Interstate Commerce Commission In deciding to leopen the freight-rate case on November D. This Is Interpieteil as evidence of Its sympath towaid the utllroads and appreciation of their needs. The case of the carriers will rest on their showing for the nine months to September 30, which will be the only complete figures available at the time, although the CVtobet usults will be known in a rough way. The commis sion obviously Is willing to giant the toads an increase in ft eight tates if it can be proved that this is necessary. The lines in most urgent need of assistance are those In eastern and northwestern teirltory. Uut it will go about the matter dellbeiately and In no way be Influenced by what Its critics havo to say. Superior Steel has been me of the sensations of the war period. Unknown nine months ago. so to speak, It was bt ought out on tho Curb carlj in tho spring, where It developed a spectacular upwaid movement It lias since lost much of tills gain, and Is now selling to leld about 13 per cent. There is every leaion to believe tho C per cent dividend is secure. Cainlngs for eight months vvete equal to nearly 20',s per cent after the war ta.. and should show fully 30 per cent for the jear. The company is well supplied with coil, Its lpqulrements for tho next eight years being conti acted for. The labor situation is known to bo good. Few Security Emissions Show Profit Very few of the secuilt emissions of recent months show a. profit to those who subscribed at the time of the offering. American Ice Is an instance in point. Some months ago stockholders were given the privilege of subscribing to preferred stock to the extent of 30 per cent of their holdings at $Cfi a share, this Including a bonus of 40 per cent common. On the transaction stockholders now havo a paper loss of about 20 per cent It is estimated that this jear the company will show $3 a share for the common after allowing a full 6 per cent for tho preferred stock. Brooklyn Itapld Tiansit has succumbed to liquidating pressure. The dlvidcnu Is not considered safe, nnd the stock has declined to the lowest level in jeais. The margin over the dividend in tecent years has not been imposing, but whilo enough may be earned to maintain the C per cent rate, the factor that Wall street Is taking Into consideration is the difficulty the company no doubt will experience next July, when its $57,000,000 of 3 per cent notes fall due. These are now quoted to jield about 9 per cent, which does not suggest that the financing of them will be other than a very expulsive undertaking. It Is not impossible that tho bankers for the company will have something to say a? to whether the dividend will be continued at the current late.
