t. rinanrial Kditcr New rcrb, March 2B. --The day in the Jtoek market, the firn actual S.000.000.«hare day in the hisioiy of the bis hoard, s-aw Ihe money dwindle and rveu i the inducement of a 20 per cent call loan rate and a sharp recovery la prices after one of the mcv-t dKT-lrous declines iu ttock prices the sniiisu of early Stock s-alcs reached the unprecedented total of g.r.S.000 shares. New big- rest day in the stock market, the first actual 7.000,000-share day In the history of the big toard, saw money supplies dwindle and vanish today even with the inducement of a 20 per cent call loan 3 ate. and it was one of the most disastrous declines in stock prices since the smash' of 192G.

Selling for active industrial shares rained down on the market from the opening bell. Caught, in the savage flood of impaired margins and stop-loss liquidation stocks were swept downward In the maelstrom of speculative selling which wiped out millions of dollars of equities of tmall traders whose slender hold has teen gradually loosening under the uninterrupted declines of the last week or two. The backs of the bullish pools were so badly broken in the last few days that they were powerless to come to the support of their favorites, and when selling orders flooded the market prices broke wildly. Wall Street was as near a real panicky condition today as it has been in many a year. Stocks dropped like lead weights to the lowest prices of the year.

Wide declines were registered Industrial stocks. Anaconda Copper, which has been soaring among the clouds in recent months, dropped 12 points to l-)3, Chrysler Motors lost 10 points at 90: Hupp Motors 7 points at SO. United States Steel was off about 5 points at the low price of the day; Kcn- necott Copper down 5: Davison Chemical down 7: General Electric down and General Motors down 1 "At closing time the stocl: ticker was about two hours behind the market and actual sales up to 2:10 P. M. were clota to 7,000.000 shares.

At this it appeared that the first 5,000.000 shares a day in the history of the big board was about to be recorded. The deluge of sellm; orders was precipitated by the drying up of monev supplies from the stock market. The 20 per cent call loan rate has not Been duplicated since February of 1920, but for many of the brokerage house? it was not so much a question of rates as of securing the money at any price. Nervous Wall Street collapsed in its tracks today and sold stocks for anything they would bring. THREE o'clock ticker.

S. Financial Editor New Street facet! a condition near-panic in mid-afternoon today as money supplies practically disappeared from the big speculative district. Stocks were thrown overboard big and little speculators all over the country in their frenzy to unload. With Wall Street banks unable or unwilling to come to the aid of Ihc sorely stricken stock market, call and time money dwindled lo the vanishing point. i The crash in stock values, which had worked up considerable momentum in Monday's terrific decline, continu- ed'without interruption.

racing losses of '1 lo points a hundred stocks sold today at the lowest price of the year. The stock market was not the only demoralized spot in the financial district. Convertible bonds, which parallel in market values the stocks into which they are transferable, broke from 10 to 15 points. The cotton market felt the effects of the wiping out of traders' equities, slumping $1.25 a bale, while prices, in the Chicago and Winnepeg grain markets broke five cents a bushel. Rumblings in the money market, which first broke upon the financial district last month, when the Reserve Board issued its famous "warning" against the ballooning of speculative credit, reached their peak today when the call rate shot up to IT per cent.

Tied up with the commercial loans, and facing heavy interest and dividend payments next week, the banks refuted to loan money to. the stock market and the selling wave dashed violenlly over the market. With the ticker a full hour be- liind. and a i a of 3.73'J.l'X) shares of stock sold at 1:30 o'clock, to- dny's tension was bidding fair to break all records of the big board for a daj's not for the extent of the Intses In individual M(K'k At that period International Nickel was down 10 points at -10; Kadio Keith Orpbcum down nearly 31 points at 10: Anaconda Copper about 12 points at H3: United states Steel doou -1: clown Advance Riimely down 12; American Smelting ilonn 6 and numerous industral and specialty stocks down from 2 to points. Call money official rate pd 20 percent at 3 o'clock, it was not so mtic'h a question nf rates as finding money at any rate.

The dumping process continued well into the final hour, when frenzied traders, unable to help themseUet, threw everything into the boilinc; j-pccn'atiie pot, and witnessed the final sweeping away of the profits they a been slou- ly accumulating.
