Violent fluctuations marked the trailing on the Stock Exchange floor again today, with severe losses all through tho list during the forenoon, followed by a brisk upturn after midday on which some stocks moved to above yesteVdny's final prices. Incentives for hurried selling were found In tho Italian military situation and tho unfavorable showing mado In tho United States Steel report for tho quarter ending September 30, which was published after tho close yes terday. 0 On this movement -many Issues, including Bethlehem Steel "B," Marino preferred, Canadian Tactile and a number of specialties recorded losses rnnglng from 3 to more than 4 points, with the telling of United States Steel common at times on an extremely largo scale. The "buying was equally vigorous when the market -allied In the afternoon, when Marino preferred was directly Influenced by reports that tho plan for settling the accumulation of tho 8S per cent preferred dividends would be Issued today. Marino preferred, which hud sold as low as 97V4. mado a quick upturn of G points and was followed on tho rally by tho leudlng steel shares and by the copper stocks and many specialties. The railroad stocks, nfter being under piessuro during tho first half of the day, also showed a stronger tone In the later trading. A feature In today's deal ings was tho decline of 1V4 in Pennsylvania to 48i, which brought that stock down to a new low record for many years. According to those concerned in the trading, while there was a good deal of liquidation on the forenoon decline, largo lines of shorts were also put out, and when the market turned those who had taken tlleWir side made urgent efforts to cover their short contracts. Bonds were hc4y. the Liberty 34s, which sold eaily In the day at 99.9G, dropping In the afternoon to 99.82. Large sales of tho Liberty 4s were made ut 100. Lack of Funds Closed Montreal Exchange Primarily, tho temporary suspension of trading on the Montreal Stock Exchange and the subsequent decision of the gocrnors of that body to lestrlct business to a list of minimum quotations was predicated on the inability of the Stock Exchange houses to obtain funds with which to conduct business. This, howe-er. may be corrected by the dc sion of the Treasury Department and Federal Reserve Board to permit the export of gold to Canada during the next few months. Ctnad'.in I alances In this country' are large but under the terms of the export" embargo It was Impossible to touch them. One of tho results was the depreciation at Montreal of the dollar, which soW days ago amounted to more than three-quntters of 1 per rent. This, however, was attributable also to tho heavy salo in this market of grain bills, which Is a normal symptom at this season of the year The situ-u.on Is thus, perhaps, less acute than Wall street at first Imagined, altho.igh the Inference that It was associated with tho Italian collapse and the fear of Sweden's participation In tho war on the side of the Teutonic allies created genuine concern. It Is not unlikely that Sweden's Intentions have been exaggerated, as they have been closely associated with the movement of exchange on Stockholm against this country. The premium on Swedish exchango now amounts to 55 per cent a most unusual phenomenon. But Sweden Is n creditor nation In her relations with us, and with shipments of gold to Europe out of the ques tion. It is obvious that this factor must bo included in any reckoning. What Is more, tho fact that the pound sterling has been allowed to depreciate vio lently on the netKi-nl exchanges has permitted of a triangular operation that has resulted In a delectation of the dollar at those centers and a consequent premium on bank balances in neutral Euiope. United Siale3 to Take Third of Earnings An Interest ng ri r.irolrt'ou of war ta.es has i.een mado by a Stock Exchange houe. The figures are f necessity Inaccurate et they furnish a fair Idea of what to expert in il,e way of inroads n earn.ngs It is estimated that the earnings tills jear of forij-fHe industrials whose pre-war profit's averaged around 9.4 per cent will be appioximntely 33 per cent, and that of this amount the Government w.ll lake appi iw tely one-third. It Is llguied that seven steel companies will s-how a baianco after 4tho war tax equal to $,!3 a share; six equipment companies. $19; seven copper pioducers $1J. and twenty-five mis cellaneous Immortals. $11 a share. The heaic t taxes will fall on the iron and sieel and copper ompanies, the average amount of tho earnings of steel cunipanle3 to be paid out m taxes belnn estimated at 41 per cent and of tho copper concerns 3C per cent. Bethlehem and Lackawanna Steel each will pay 53 per cent. llesumption of liquidation of the motor shares is predicated on the dis crimination against pleasuio cars by the priority board at Washington In the matter of shipments over the railroads. There also is good reason to believe that the manufactuiers ot pleasure vehicles will find It dllilcult to secure the grades of steel they are In most urgent need of, theso being used extensively In the production of shells. Apparently tho Government has placed tho pleasure auto in the list of nonessentials. Truckmakers will be abundantly supplied with materials and their shipments over the railroads will be expedited; assist ance also will be rendered those producers of plcasuro cars who have engaged to some extent or other in tho war-ordfjr field. But the output of the majority of the motors Is strictly of the pleasure type. do prcf Am Int Corp, ... 87 Am Hide & Lea.. 14 do pref 03V1 Am Linseed nyt do prcf 88V4 Am Locomotlvo . . 88 do prcf ot Am Malt 1SV4 do pref Blii Am Smelting .... 82 y.
