Government assurances on steel prices and rail operations failed to steady sentiment as war news and uncertainty dominated trading.
The report notes copper stocks look cheap despite war fears and election jitters. Wenkert features, declines in Midwest and Merritt, and mixed gains in others mark a volatile day. Bond markets show Russian improvements while fears of a German victory unsettled confidence.
Unfavorable conditions lifted corn prices modestly in Chicago while selling pressure persisted on bulges. Oats rose to season highs as scarce receipts and Gulf export demand supported futures, with railcar shortages limiting shipments. Livestock in Chicago and Minneapolis showed mixed gains and steady demand as markets priced in cold weather and ample feed costs.
A broad market slide dominated by fears over government control of railroads and munition plants battered stocks, with United States Steel and industrials dropping sharply.
