Hew York, Feb. 3.—(Finencial)The more alarming crash jn foreign ex- change today over-shadowed all other comsiderations and developments in the stock market. Substan shares were impaired by ‘2 to 5 points and many of the more speciuative is sues suffered’ greater depreciation. The further coMapse of interna- tioral credits not only carried re- mittanées on London and leading Eu- gfopean capitals to new points of dis- count, but was so sweeping as to em- *brécé the British provinces. In Mon- treal, for example exchange on \ew (s York was at & premium of 13 1- {cent. Dufing the more feverish/ period of thé decline in exchanges it was re- | ported that dealers would only accept " bills for collection. In effect, they de- ;clined to buy outright, because of the :;mflket‘s extremely erratic course. § _Among the weaker stocks were geveral to which faoreign investors "have in past times shown marked par- tiality. Sales of those issues today were. attributed in some:quarters to thesbelief that this centér offered the ~nly available market for their trans- fer;dnto cash. llowing its course of the previous day, the market was weakest' and most acfive in the final hour, when exchange on London, Paris and Rome was at lowest quotations. The high class steels, motors and equipments continued to yield closing prices al- . without exception being at or n.easy range of minimum levels. Olls and shippings also gave way to 3 mure extensive offerings and numer- _miscellaneous specialities parti- dted in the decline, but rails of the better grade finished at relative- ly_nominal' losses. Sales amounted to 1,000,000 shares. Two of the Liberty bond issues— |} vthe“sécond 4's and second 4 1-2's—es- {ablished new low records during the on.
