Sept. 27.—The stock market was a scene of near-riot today as millions of dollars’ worth of holdings were dumped by traders. All alnog the list there were sharp price drops. Losses ranging up to 17 points were chalked up as the fourth hour closed and there was a downward sweep of the market. A few issues displayed individual strength, but buying operations in these shares were independent of the weakness. Standard Gas, Louisville Gas and Electric A, American Waterworks and Pacific Gas were about the only strong spots, all these issues selling anew record highs. Aside fro mstrencrth in these issues. however, no group was spared in the downward movement and selling showed an utter lack of discrimination. Good shares as well as others rapidly were swept to lower levels. Columbia Carbon Topples Columbian CarbOn, a tower of strength in recent sessions, war. carried down precipitately and violent downswings occurred in Auburn Auto, Westinghouse Electric, General Electric, Allied Chemical, Simmons Company, Johns Manville. American and Foreign Power and United States Steel. A1 these shares showed losses at one time of more than seven to neirly fifteen points each. United States Steel was a particular target for bearish professionals guning for weak spots. Steel was forced to another new low ground on the current movement below twelve points, and Bethlehem, Republic Iron and ether leaders quickly broke through support levels. Selling was resumed in Radio, while motors continued under the influence of extensive long liquodation. many breaking to new lows for the current year. Losses in the genera! market were not as active as those in the leaders and the market as a whole waS not unusually active. Little Pool Support The relative quietness in the general market was attributed to the fact that many large operators have withdrawn, having sold their holdings during the violent bull swing oblast August. They were generally oft the side lines waiting for an opportunity to replace. Apparently prices were not low enough, however, as little support was uncovered in speculative leaders on declines. Buying mostly represented short covering and large interests were disposed to let the market follow its own course. This disposition accounted for the lack of poo] support.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WHEAT PRICES HIT SLUMP ON EXPORTGLOQM Corn Reaches New High in Early Hours. Then Makes Bad Break. BY WM. P. M'KENNA United Tress Stiff torrer-nt CHICAGO, Sept. 27.—Discouraging reports in regard to export trade put wheat prices sharply lower in the reactionary market today. A Liverpool advice stating hard winter wheat was selling 7 cents below Chicago December was taken to indicate there is little hope of moving much of North America’s burdensome supplies at present levels. September corn reached anew high for the movement and then broke badly with the other months. Oats lost heavily before the close. At the close wheat was 1% to 2Vs cents lower, corn was off % to 1% cents, and oats were % IV* cents lower. Provisions were sharply lower. Rains over the wheat-growing areas of the southern hemisphere and lack of storage accommodations in the United Kingdom, turned the Liverpool trade considerably lower for a time today and brought pressure on the Chicago marke. December wheat was offered in liberal quantltes during the morning and the tone remained generally heavy in spite of more encouraging cable mews after mid-session. Australian wheat was estimated 60,000,000 bushels less than last year. Cash prices were % to 1 cent lower Receipts were 49 cars. Offerings of corn were moderate and buying was fair most of the session. but in wheat only the September showed strength, and all gains in this month were lost for a time before mid-day. Weather still is rather unfavorable for maturing the crop. Cash prices were unchanged. Receipts were 140 cars. Oats were without any special feature and followed the action of corn in a narrow range. Cash prices were unchanged. Receipts weer 64 cars. Chicago Grain Table - Sent. 27 WHEAT— Prev. Open. Hi eh. Low. Close, close.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson St McKinnon) NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—Rarely has so unanimous an opinion on a financial subject been proven so incorrect at Thursday’s forecast of the brokers’ loan report. Federal reserve officials anticipated a decrease or at least an increase of only trifling proportions and when the figures were released, expressed amazement that so substantial an increase was shown in spite of the drop in security values. Washington attributes the expansion almost solely to issues of new investment trust securities. The whole subject of broker’s loans is becoming more and more a puzzle. At least the reserve officials can not be criticised for the present tightening credit situation. The weekly statement again reveals an increase in bills bought by the reserve and there ,1s nothing to worry about on the gold ratio, which stands well above that of a year ago. However with time money commanding 9 1 /, per cent and indications that funds will be withdrawn by European countries, the situation presents a picture that warrants extreme caution.
