SHOTWELL. New York. Nov. 15.—Liquidation In tbl stock market continued today, with tho re mit that during the first hoar of trading uew low records were made by 8t. Paul, United States Steel preferred and New York Central, while otner gilt-edged securi ties declined from 1 to 2 points. St. Paul’s new low bottom waa made at 97. while A’tecl preferred touched the low level of 8%. New York Central broke to 94. Announce- ment that the New York Central wotild dw some financing in the near future caused that stock to decline 2% points. Further engagements of gold for Import were auonunecd. which brings the total of tho movement up to $65,101,819. Berlin and Loudon sold American stocks In London on the report that about $5,70V 000 additional gold was to be shipped to New York very shortly. *AU American shares there, with the exception of New York Central, showed declines averaging 1 point. Wheat was fractionally lower, as waa cst- ton. The curb market was very weak,' Gold field shares declining sharply. The financial situation continued to pre sent the same contradiction this morning that It 1ms for some days past, outside the stock exchange 'conditions seem to be on th© mend. The coming gold sufficed to offset the week's previous loss at the sub- treaaurr. The local currency premium drop ped off so sharply that It almost reached tho vanishing fsoint. Money rates, despit© tho fact that loans made today carry ovci* the end of the week, were quoted below tho recent average. Inside the stock mar* ket. however, liquidation went ou perils-* teiitiy enrying prices down without any Interruption nml causing exciting weakness. Tills selling was explained, as In the cas© of yesterday, an dno to the exigencies of tho financial conditions at outside points. In tho cas© of New York Central, the an* nouucement tlint frlan* were being conaldJ erod for a new security Issue was undoubt edly responsible for the special wcaknesg In this stock. In the case of Bmelters ana Sugar, In which the declines were ilsR particularly severe, tho explanation com monly given waa the selling out of loans. But, taking the list as a whole, the pres sure to sell was continuous, and what ever attempts there were at support were designed rather to moderate tb© downward movement than to check It.
