New Yorlt, Avis 22.
Actlvltv in the stock market today listed for only a short period,
it.irtlnR Willi In ocular iIiimrch nt the opcnltiB, but before many min
utes passed out of the lai rp room tinder, liquidated a modcrato lino of
stocks. cauiiiiB declines of around 1 point In such Issues ns United States
Steel common, Maiine prefened and a few other Issues.
rrom tin n on trading was mull in amount and price mo omenta
wore limited to an extremely narrow lange, the market coming almost
to n dead stnndstlll
Whllo the carl decline was in progress, many of those concerend In
the trading Insisted that the dlsplav of weakness was due to published
statements about the monetarj situation, but there Is reason to believe
that the opemtor who was the pilnclpal seller had been directed by bank
ing Interrbtb tn t educe his lines and that liquidation which was Indirectly
foued innip at a time when there was little demand aiound prevailing
prices.
That the market did not continue its don nw aid movement following
this colling was an indication of undcrljlng strength, thero bping no
fuithcr piessurc finm anv source although the Street continued to
dis uss the outlook for mone and to regard the scant supply of funds
as an obstacle to bullish operations
While the stocks refened to weie weak there were few which showed
oi optional netlit and strength American Hldo and Leather issues
being prominent in this respect, the preferred stock moving up ncarlj J
points to a new high lccorii
New Haven was stcadih bought all through the day, although the
trading element supplied this stock In falilv large amounts on an Idea
that it would recede with the remainder of the list
The feature of the bond market was the further advance in Liberty
3Hs to the new high record of 102 50, but the price reacted later to
102.20. Other Government bonds were steady and without material
change

Theie wan nothing In the way of news
developments to explain this demnlid,
but while the buvlng was In progress,
comment was made on the heavy earn
ings of the company from its shipbuild
ing plant, and there were some who
talked of piosprcts of a resumption of
dividend pavments.

and New Vork Shipbuilding was traded
In at 47
A few sales of the motor stocks vvcro
made, White-Martin being traded in at

outlook for these stocks has been made
uncertain bv tho unfavoiable report of

No Extra Charge on Special Railroad
Tjpes lo Be Allowed
Washington. Aug. 22. Railroads
should not make an extra charge for
furnishing' shippers with special types
of cars, such as refrigerators, livestock
and specially constructed cars, the In
terstate Commerco Commission ruled to
day, ln one of the most Important cases
ever before It. Tho commission also
ruled that an extra charge of U cent
per mile should be charged for hauling
privately owned cars of this tjpe.
This decision applies to all specially
constructed, railroad or privately owned
freight cars, except those carrying coal
and coke and oil.
There a-e 137,189 privately owned
freight cars of special construction ln
the country and 2,301,711 owned bv rail
roads. Under the decision the shipper
has a right to demand and reeelve a
speclal-tpc car without extra charge.
The decision Is more or less of a con
tradfetion of the lullng made by the
Federal Trade Commission recently in a
