FLOOD OF SELLING ORDERS FEATURES INITIAURADING Pressure, However, Is Lifted in Late Morning and Slight Rallies Ensue, The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK. Sept. 14.—Thursday’s heavy selling which brought the total transactions above the million-share mork for the first time since June 28 was continued in today's early dealings In which Steel common touched anew low on the movement at 88% on a flood of offerings, while Can touched new low ground at 92%, followed by similar recession among other Industrial leaders. Marland Oil w r aa especially weak, reflecting the passing of the dividend announced late Thursday. No further explanation for the severe break was found in outside news. First Hour Extraordinary activity was maintained throughout the first hour and new lows on the current reaction were reached by Gulf States Steel, Dupont and other leaders on the recent recovery. Wire houses were the biggest sellers. Logan & Bryan disposing of 40,000 shares of various issues, while H. Content & Cos., reputed to be representing large inside Interests in American Can, sold 6,000 shares of the latter. Toward 11 o’clock the market steadied somewhat and fractional rallies occurred in several active Issues. Second Hour Leading industrials continued to show an Improved tone in the late morning when Steel common rallied above 89, Baldwin above 119 and American Can above 93. Declaration of the regular quarterly dividends on the Pan-American issues proved to have been weil discounted and these stockssold off when the news came out. Mexican Petroleum appeared on the tape for the first time since July 26, selling at 182, compared with 210 for the previous sale. Call money continued right, renewals being made at 6% per cent. Noon Hour Stocks turned dull in the noon deal ing and no further progress was made on the rally, but recoveries from morning lows were retained and selling pressure noticeable in early trading was not renewed. Issues in which group activity was recently reported were Inactive. Pan-American issues continued to recede, while a rallying tendency was noticrable in Marland. These conflicting movements reflected the best opinion in the Street that it was more bullish for an oil company to pass its dividend than to continue it in face of present conditions In the industry Fourth Hour After 1 o’clock stocks swung into a renewal of the rally which gathered considerable spirit as the fourth hour advanced. Steel common recovered about a point from its early low and similar rebounds took place among other speculative leaders. With the general list showing a better tone, operations for the uninterrupted rise w T ere resumed in several sections of the list. Davison Chemical snapped back above 53 on buying orders largely executed by Kean, Taylor & Cos., supposed to be representing Baltimore interests. Closing Hour The general list displayed a favorable tone in the last hour, though no gains of any prominence were recovered among active issues. Proof that the recent tightening up in call money had been uue to preparations for tax payments was afforded when the rate eased off to 4% per cent after renewing at 5% per cent, suggesting that arrangements for Saturday had been largely completed. Trading in tho final hour was rather dull with price changes for the most part confined to a very small trading area. Twenty active industrial stocks on Thursday averaged 89.93, off 2.12 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 78.83, off .77 per cent. New York Money Market NEW YORK. Sept. 14. —Time money Arm at 6% per cent Renewals at the same rate.

OATS AGAIN TAKE LEAD IN GRAINS Wheat and Corn Close Lower, ! Due to Outside Influences, j By United Financial CHICAGO, Sept. 14.—Wheat corn closed lower and oats higher on j the Chicago Board of Trade today. A j shortage of supplies caused the upturn i in oats. - Depressing influences which gripped j the Winnipeg market reflected in wheat trading. Following a weak opening, the market experienced a slight rally at mid-day, but it was short lived, and another set-back followed. Corn trading was of an up-and-down nature all through the session, the crop news being responsible for both j the dips and rallies. A mid-day dally i resulted from news of severe crop damage by frosts in Illinois, lowa and Indiana over night. Oats closed higher. Shippers dis played anxiety over the light receipts. Heavy farm feeding will cut suppl.es i to a minimum for the next few days, l and those holding September contracts j w r ill be forced into the open market. Provisions, although dull, closed! higher with a strong hog market. Chicago Grain Tsble —Sept. 14— WHEAT— Prer. Open. High. Low. Close, close.

NEW YORK. Sept 14.—The German mark is no longer quoted on the foreign exchange list of the National City Bank. Other large New York banking houses which deal in foreign exchange are expected to follow the example of the National City Bank shortly, because the mark when it sells at 100.000.000 to the dollar is practically valueless from the American exchange standpoint. In the seven days ending Wednesday the mark declined from 42,000,000 to the dollar to 145,000.000 to the dollar. No official statement of discontinuance was made by the bank, but inquiry, after no quotations were shown, revealed the fact that the exchange department employes had received instructions to discontinue all dealings in Germany currency. For the past three weeks there has been no sizeable purchase of marks recorded In this city- Thursday’s quotations, influenced by the belief that passive resistance in the Ruhr would soon cease, were somewhat higher, the mark selling at from 90.009.000 to 110,000.000 to the dollar, a variation Shich was too great for the National City ank’s policq.

DEMPSEY’S SKILL IS PICKED TO WIN (Continued From Page 1) 85,000 would be in the park when the principals enter the ring. Rickard, at the last minfite, decided to send the main bout in at 8:30, eastern standard time, instead of 10 o’clock, but it is possible the usual before-the-battle ceremonies will consume so much time the gong for the first round of the scheduled fifteenround contest will not start before 9 o’clock. Speculators, still in possession of many choice seats, were holding out today for two and three times the face value of their tickets. Wise New Yorkers, however, were waiting un-

til the last mirute because of a hunch some of the “specs” would have to go below the face value to get rid of their tickets. The announcement counterfeit tickets have been placed in circulation has made purchasers morg than usually wary in dealing with the scalpers. Rickard said this morning the receipts would be in excess of $1 250,000 and only the cheaper prices that prevailed and the limited seating capacity of the park would prevent the fight from passing the record established by the Dempsey-Carpentier fight for attendance and receipts. Despite overwhelming opinion that Dempsey will win easily, there is some good judgment represented in a few supporters of the South American who believe he has a good chance to win the title. Regardless of his crude methods and his lack of experience, Firpo has more of a chance to beat Dempsey than Carpentier or Gibbons because he is bigger and stronger than the

champion and he can hit a terrific blow with his right hand. On form, Dempsey should win in a few rounds if he could still hit as hard as he hit Jess Willard at Toledo. But he can’t. The champion should win In seven or eight rounds, but Firpo has a chance to win and if he should take the title from Dempsey it will be a shock to those who have been misguided into the way of thinking there is only one way to do a thing and that is the way in which it has always been done before. Dempsey and Firpo were in seclusion this morning in New York. The champion was in his suite at the Belmont Hotel and Firpo was barricaded in his uptown apartment. They will make their first public appearance of the day when they visit the office of the boxing commission to step on the scales. Weighing in is only a formality as neither one has to make weight and the disparity in poundage is not being considered a vital factor by those
