The suupenaion ' of a stock exchange
house of long standing had no direct ef
fect on the market; Ita difficulties were
recognized aa having apparently arisen
from engagementa in some of the stocks
whose uncertain value and wild, fluctua
tions have been one main source oi the
pecent occurrences on the market..
The noteworthy fact about the last
week's commodity markets haa been the
upanlraity with which decline In their
prices has been ascribed to the condi
tion of affalra in Wall street. Illogical
on Ita' face as applied to staple values,

Of the present position of the steel
and Iron Industry, the midwest trade
reviews have little to say. Perhaps the
most interesting statement Is the admis
sion of the Iron Age that, apart from
rails, "the whole scale of railway buy
ing ahowa (flat the steel industry's ex
pectations of what would come from In
creased freights were far too optimistic."
Even with rails. Independent mills have
ceased to auk a higher price than that
which has been maintained for more than
a year by the United States Steel cor
poration. This has an obvious bearing on
the reoent talk of higher rail prices to
be Imnosed by the corporation Itself. But
that intimation was from the first re-
art vitv tn the near tuture wns pre
dieted yesterday bv J. Orfen At
mour. "Price liquidatfon fn most es
sential products is about complete
