(Br Associated Prci>8.1 XKW YOItK, Nov. 12.?Under pres sure from the Federal Reserve Board and other powerful financial Interests, Wall Street today adopted more vigor ous measures to put its house in order. This was accomplished by further severe impairment of quoted values, a turnover of more than 2,500.000 shares ?the year's record?and an advance in call loan to 30 per cent, a rate un paralleled since the panic or 1907. Altogether the session witnessed the most severe purging: the stock market i ha.*! experienced since Wall Street en tered upon Its period of post-war pros perity. In the course of the decline, which r began at the very outset, speculative ? favorites registered losses of 10 to -'5 points, their minimum quotations 1 being 30 to 60 points below maximums ! of tho last fortnight.

The* reaction encompassed everv va riety of stock Issues, although f'nlted : .States steel, high-grade rails and the copper shares llnislted at relatively nominal losses. However, rails as a sroup forfeited virtually all the im- I proyement made In the previous month, j i.iquiriatIon was so general and con stant as to defy analysis. From all accounts much of the gelling was in voluntary anil a large proportion was traced to out-of-town traders, who plainly expressed their discouragement at tne market's sharp reversal.
