COMMERCIAL AND MARKET NEWS SPECIALLY REPORTED FOR THE CALL
Federal Court's Decision in Rebating
Case Alarms Speculators
New York: Stock Markst
NEW YORK; Feb. 23.— Suspicion and distrust of the speculative position
in the stock market spread with rapid growth today and brought the
fabric of values down with a crash. The conviction was quick in
Conning after the opening of the steel market to competition last week that
the slock market position was artificial ai\d had been brought about by false
assumptions of the trade position. -\ V. .
"Various factors combined to accentuate the weakness. The serious view
taken in London of American disturbances, as shown. by the heavy declines
thcVe yesterday during the Xew York holiday, paved the way' for a renewal
:6f the' downward course. The foreign markets were. also unsettled by. the
revival of fears of an outbreak in the Balkans due to Servia's attitude toward
Austria. ' .-•-\u25a0-;>: / .;\u25a0-';> \-:*v : \u25a0 \u25a0 \u25a0 ; .
London sent very heavy selling orders.to New \ork as soon as trading
•began, thus helping the downward rush. There was considerable accumula
tion of orders from domestic sources also. The weak early market resulting
from these conditions was expected and the alert professional element among
the traders stood ready to take advantage of the decline. This buying
\u25a0steadied the market momentarily, but it proved a technically weakening factor
when the decline was renewed, and these purchasers were pressed for liquida
tion, along with outside sellers.
\ new weakening feature came in the inference of the federal court de
cision against the new York Central for rebating. The speculative element
jumped to the conclusion that a later decision would uphold the constitu
tionality of the commodities clause of the Hepburn law and so constrain
the anthracite railroads to get rid of their mining properties.
Of the steel trade position the speculative contingent was disposed to
take the gloomiest possible view. The discussion in the neighborhood of the
stock exchange had to do with the likelihood of radical cuts in the steel
schedules in the tariff bill, the fear that trade revival would halt until these
tariff rates were decided, the necessity that would follow for a reduction of
•^ages and the danger that would then arise of strikes and disorders. The
actual news from the steel trade was vague, the rumors were confusing and
unreliable and the unsettling effect in consequence was great.
' Another reduction in the price of copper and the new trial of. the Stand
ard oil helped to increase the gloom. Reading sold as low as 118, a loss for
ihc day of 10v$ points. United States steel sold down to 41 */2/ 2 and closed at
tire lowest, a loss in price since Saturday of 4\4 points. Liquidation spread
throughout the market and prices at the close were off from 3 to 6 points
•;.. Bonds were weak. Total sales, par value, $7,290,000. United States

firmly maintained for all varieties. The prin
clpaj demand has been for pink beans, aifd al
though the market is very .firm and dealers ex
pect a higher price quotations for shipment" have
been more or less irregular, Recording to the
quality of .the various offers. Eastern conditions
are reported very strong- on white beans -owing
to the shortage of the crop and tho advancing
price of foreign beans. 1 - -
"The eastern demand for lima beans is not
brisk. Buyers have probably become scared by
the declining market in this variety and are now
buying rrom hand to mouth, although In view of
the circumstances lima beans should be attrac

" Potntoea, Onlonn and Vecetnliles
The circular of the Jonas Erlanger-Davls com
pany says of the prospective suppiy of potatoes:
"That there is a shortage of potatoes in Cali
fornia no one can question." It does not neces
sarily follow that there will be a 'potato ram
in*,'-but there can be no question as to the
future of I the potato ! market.
"Potatoes . will come • from eastern sections;
We must have them: In order to supply our de
mands. Can any • reasonable person doubt t 1
the eastern markets will advance owing to the
extraordinary demands .which will be made upon
them from all sections on account of the short
age existing In this ' state; which under ordi
nary circumstances has a surplus at . this time
of the year j and usually -.' exports potatoes to
Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and other points
east? They, can . not get potatoes bore, conse
quently the - above mentioned points are now
drawing heavily upon Colorado, Wisconsin, - Min
nesota and other large producing sections.
V We can not land good ' potatoes in California
from eastern points at less than 2c to 2Vsc per
pound at present.- • '• . \u0084
, ."Owing, to the continuous rainy weather early
potatoes, which usually commence to , arrive in
quantities', at 'the < end '-of May. will be at least
six weeks late, as the wetness of the. ground
has \u25a0 precluded planting. Sherman \u25a0 island, one of
the \u25a0 largest . producers of~ early potatoes. Is- un

There was a pood buying movement in pota

to operate cautiously and the market was rather
easy, as- about 20 cars of Lompoc and Oregon

Deciduous and Citrus Fruits
The. market for fresh fruits opened after the
holidays with a show of activity, the brizut.
sunny weather and the necessity for replenish
ing depleted stores bringing out some extensive
buying in -all lines. There were no quotable
changes in prices , for anything, but the general
tone was one of strength and leadins: receivers
were of ..the opfnioti that a week of fine weather
would cause a great diminution in the supply of
oranges unless subsequent arrivals were unex
pectedly heavy. The other citrus fruit* were
firm, with stocks rather small, and tropical
fruits came In for the average share of atten
tion. Fancy apples wefe strongly held at the
old quotations.

The Comstocks. though quiet, were generally

worthy of note were a loss of 12c on the day la
