STOCK MARKET TONE IS WEAK Condition of Money Market Big Factor. NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—Stocks continued to reflect the curtailment of the demand because of the money conditions at the opening of the stock market today when losses were sustained all through the list, ranging from fractions to two points. At lower levels, however, buying orders were in evidence on a fairly large scale and the market quickly developed a firmer tone and moderate rallies occurred. Trading continued to be dominated by conditions In the money market during the forenoon and prices showed a weak tone. The settlement of the British coal strike was -without influence. Steel common dropped *o 87. Baldwin Locomotive dropped to 111%. Crucible Steel yielded 3% to 122%. Mexican Petroleum declined 3% to 189%. White Oil, which started at 25, sold down to 23%. Cuba American Sugar declined 2 points to 38. The Steel industrials were Influenced by reports of readjustment of prices, but selling of these stocks was small. Baldwin Locomotive dropped 1% to 112 and then rallied to 112%. Steed common sold down % to 87% and then rallied to 87%. Mexican Petroleum opened down 2 points at 15*1, later rallying -to 192. Sears-Roebuek, on which the borrowing premium has been reduced materially, yielded 1% to 107%. There was initial trading In White Oil, which opened % higher at 25, and then dropped to 24%. Crucible Steel dropped over 2 points to 123%. Railroad stocks reflected disappointment in the showing of September statements of net earnings for aft number of roads which failed to record any substantial benefits to the late advances which went into effect late in August. (By Thomson A McKinnon) —Oct. 28— The unnatural dullness that has recently prevailed finally gave way to activity, but at the expense of values. The cumulative effect of many bearish elements overcome the resistance that was so noticeable recently and losses resulting were general, extending practically through the list. It is perfectly natural that In a market such as we had today that all should look for and expect some new reason and explanation for *he market's weakness, but it is simply the story of declining business. declining prices, inventory losses, high money. For some time we have all anticipated something better marketwise In anticipation of an election result that would be pleasing to the business interests of this country. But so far this has been absolutely without value to the market. Be this as it may the fact remains that the market lacks the active support of investors, leaving the market susceptible We see nothing at the moment in the way of business to give much hope of an immediate turn for the better and therefore further irregularity Js likely.

(By Thomson A McKinnon —Oct. 28Wheat—Southwestern offerings of cash wheat were reported larger than the so-called holding movement of the farmer would warrant. This was offset later in the day by strength in Buenos Aires market, which was due to unseasonable cold weather. Business reported from tlA* seaboard beep of small proportion. Nonetheless, there has been some buying In this market, which has tho appearance of fffreigu account. There is a considerable diversity of ideas as to the course of prices. The downward tendency of commodities and the financial situation of European countries should, In time, overcome the present rather light movement from the producers. Corn—A falling off in the receipts of corn Is accompanied by a fair volume of export business. Because of these two items, likewise because of farmers | dissatisfaction with prices, the market is stubborn. it Is reported that yesteri day’s export business In corn was around 500,000 bushels, but some seaboard authorities think these reports are exaggesatel. Sales from here today aggregated 220,000 bushels, of which 185,0 U) was to seaboard exporters. A feature In this market is the lack of interest on the part of the public. No important price change Is likely, pending further developments. Oats—Hedging sale* continue coming into the oats market and as before there is no evidence of any broadening of demand. Market hold relatively steady, because of the comparative cheapness. Farmers express dissatisfaction with prices, but the receipts are sufficiently large to Increase the acumulations In terminals. Provisions—The selling of provisions appeared to be liquidation. Market lacks important support. Still cheaper hog* are expected. CHICAGO GRAIN. WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.

On Commission Row The first cool spell of the year caused u brisk movement in the wholesale produe® market today. Trading at the opening was not so brisk, but after the first hour a really brisk tobe was developed. Prices held about steady.

In the staple supply that is on the market at this time of the; year, commission men say, there is always a known supply, and therefore not the need of fluctuations that are prevalent with summer weather.

Dry Goods Dealers Taking Their Medicine BY J. G. L. BRICKER, International News Service. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 28—“ We are taking our medicine.” This was the huge sign flung over the front of the Carleton Drygoods Company building as a wave of price-slashing on millions of dollars worth of dry goods swept over the St. Louis wholesale district today. Deductions of as much as 50 per cent were announced by some houses on certain lines of drygoodk. St. Louis is swarming with buyers and immediate reduction In retail prices over the Middle West will follow, wholesalers predicted. Wholesalers, it was reported, were “taking their medicine” in the form of disagreeable doses of huge losses. In some instances, It was said, p-lces were cut below the present mill prices. David R. Calhoun, of the Eiy Walker Drygoods Company, one of the largest wholesale concerns of the Middle West, stated his company alone had placed $lO.0()0.000 worth of dry goods on sale. He refused to confirm a report that the company would lose $1,000,000 through the sale, but stated. it would incur heavy losses. The exact reason for his tremendous cutting of prices could not be learned, but the statement of Calhoun that “wholesalers in other cities, particularly Chicago, are watching us closely with a view to following us,” was taken to Indicate in some quarters that St .Loui* wholesalers might have started a pricecutting war with a view to capturing trade formerly going to Chicago and other largo Mid-West wholesale center*. Examples of the reductions, as obtained from the various wholesalers, show: Gingham recently selling at 35 centH per yard, now 17 cents; percale, which reached the peak at 30 cents, now 12% cents, or 2% cents below the present mill prices; silks, which were as high as $5 per yard, now selling as low as $1.15 : and should soon sell from $1.50 to $2 retail. 1 _ Weather The following table shows the state of the weather at 7 a. m .
