NHU YOIIK, Oct 20. either rightfully or uroncfully tho benr phuiKcis that have for po limn been OKKiei,ie In louerlnR Milites on the Stock i:chntiKc hac nstiumeil Mint the completion of the subscription for the new Liberty Loan 1ms left the market without the Incenthc for support from banking Inte-cxti which was brought In a couple of weeks nco when prices bail sustnlned Hiilmtantl.il losses thioiiRh continual be.fr drives. Totlny tbep liear pluugcis devoted n Rood deal of atten tion to picking out wnk spots nnd whole they found an absence of buying orders concentrated selling ut once nppearcd, caualiiK Hlinrp ilccItncH. This was the case epoclnll In Rllt-ediscd lneitment Ihsucs. Cicncial Elec tric belns offcted down d points to 131 '4, and AmerU.au Telephone was selected as another object for btar attack nnd was offend down more than t point to 1124. The hellliiK was to tin extent a seqnencc of the success which attended bear effoits against the high-priced railroads. Including Canadian Pacillc, t'nlon Pa cific and St. Paul Liquidation was forced In some stocks and there was an ub senee of les'stnnre gener.ill to bear efforts. A feature of the trading was the decline In Atlantic, Clulf and West Indies from 105V& to lOOH United States Steel common was traded In on a largo scale, selling as high as 10."il,. a gain of n point, but later rencttd to below 104. llothle heni Steel ' U" moveJ In the same wnj. and the minor steel Industrials, after good gains, ended the day with net losses The most Important featutc of the bond crowd was the triitllri; In Liberty Tjs. which weie de tit In on an enoimous scale, many blocks of moie than $100,000 changing bands at pi ices langlng from 90 SS to 89 94. Liberty Loan Drive Engrosses Traders Prominent traders in the stock maiket appear to pay no attention to any thing ele but the Lll ert P.ond campaign flood Judges who hao followed events closelv the last two weeks feel the tn.uket mnj get a new lease on life v.ith tho coming week, nnd while optimism n lesarda pi Ice fluctuations is not overabundant, there are few adverse rem irks heat it as to tho posslblo fend. It iH realized that there are a great inan important factors et to lie nnalvzcd Lefore tilings can run along smoothly, but little fear Is- shown that trteic will be a repetition of hvsterieal selling characteristic of the markets during tho last month Of course, what manj traders are looking forward to at present is tho Steel meeting ne.t Tuesdaj Tho consensus of opinion is the usual dividends will be declared. in Industrial iiunitcrs much Intel est vvas shown in the P. V. Ooodrlch Com panv's nolo sale The syndicate of bankers which took the J15.000.00O two-jeir 6 per cent notes has seven lenewnl privilege! of three months each. The notes aro to bo issued In serial form so that they maj be made dljcountnblo bv banks holding them at tho I-tdeial Heserve Hank, This Is the first time that any corporation lias financed In this manner, to take advantage of the provisions of the Federal Iteserve act It Is understood that the proceeds of the sale have already been paid to the company and will provide it with suflicient funds to take up nearly atl of Its Moating debt. It was stated today that the company has about $30,000 000 In liquid nst.ets. with a floating debt of approvlmately $10,000,000. It Is realized in financial clrcb-s that because of the largo business carried on by the company it has been necessary for the Goodrich concern to nnlntnln rather liige Inventories of raw materials, etc, which lias involved the emplovment of a greitei amount of woiklng capital than vvoufl ordinarily be necessarj. So the company had to strengthen its financial and working position. Railway Equipment in Poor Shape t Those wio have followed the rnllioad situation closelv know that, tho rail vvaj equipment of the countrj will enter the coming winter In poorer physical condition than at anv time on record This situation is easj to understand when It Is taken into account that owing to the constantly lncreailng demand on the carriers It has beeji impossible for tho large s stems to lay up engines for repairs and ovcrhaull? g duiing either tho sprlns or fall periods, and Uieir cfllclencj, therefore, has been greatlv lessened. This" condition maj be applied to almost everj railroad in the United States. There has been a. great deal of rough handling of freight cars, too, on tho part of partially ineper!enccd men. Many.of the old hands have left their situations, being attracted to the munition factories bcauso of the higher wages, nnd consequently railroad ofllciala have found It necessary to take on nil kinds of unskilled labor, which has operated against the maintenance of a smooth-vvoik.nr svstem. In connection with the railroad situation it mav be said that a good deal of nervousness still eIsts among stockholders of many ronds. The action of Canad'an Pacific and Ui0hu Pacific at'lhis time Is one of the foremost disturbing elements in tho market, particularl ai the former is now selling within a few points of the low of 1913 and the latter lower than since the panic when the world war stt ted In 1914. While Canadian Pacific has been telling out of line with others of Its class, pait of the selling undoubtedlv lias been due to liquidation bv German Interests Inspired by the provisions of the "enemj- tiadlng" act, wherein all of tho propertj held here bv unfriendly aliens must be reported and placed dlrectlj under the control of the Government Money-lending hates M.W tOltK Money on call opened at 4 ?.er cent. lilBb. . 1" a1 . last, 4 . closed at 4 Ruling rate, 4 nr cent Good inKed loans are nominal at S5'i per cent for sixty ilavs, GUi5'4 per cent foi ninety ilavs to four mouths, and 5'- per tent trading rate for five and six months Virtually similar figures tilled all Indus trials for the longer periods although no Important transactions have taken place un der 5 Ms per cent Prime hank acceptances are unchanged ind dull at 504 per cent In Inellglbles nnd 3st 0 3'4 per cent on ellgiblcs rilll.li:i.rill.
