FOREIGN NEWS IS , DEPRESSING FACT ON STOCK MARKET Francs Make New Low and Sterling Eases Off at Opening of Exchange, INDUSTRIALS ARE HEAVY Speculative Leaders Resist Professional Pressure in Early Trades, By WALL, STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK. Jan. 22. —Francs made anew low at the opening’ of the exchange today and Sterling showed a loss of % at 465 3 g. These recessions reflected the failure of the European situation to make improvement over the week-end. But with the Germans settled down ti a policy of passive resistance nothing existed in European conditions to influence security markets more than they had already been affected by deabroad. In early dealing stocks were inactive. Changes among the active issues were confined to a narrow range. Heaviness in Pan-American issues resulting from creation of $25,000,000 preferred stock acted as a restraint on the industrials in the first hour. Baldwin. Studebaker and other speculative leaders were subjected to selling pressure by the professional element, but resistance was met well above lows reported on last week’s reaction. Special weakness cropped out in Reynolds Spring, which dropped 34 to 184 on announcement the company would offer 73.500 additional shares at sl2 a share. Since the first of the year, car and locomotive orders have been placed at a rate exceeding most forecasts. Equipment and locomotive* companies now have sufficient business on their books to warrant the statement that they will operate as much capacity as possible under present labor conditions for the next twelve months. In spite of large car and locomotive orders there are certain authorities who claim there will be big shortage of equipment before close of 1923. Twenty active industrial stocks Saturday averaged 97.6’. off .24 per cent: twenty active rails averaged 85.36. up .03 per cent.
