New York, Apr! 24-Violent and
feverish fluctuations in the prices of
stock this morning inlicated the unset
tied state of speculation. Operators
We're confused in the Interpretation of
the acute weakness with which the
market closed on Thursday last before
the holidays. Return to the stock ex-
change list of Northern Pacific was
another confusing element. To these
were added the slump in wheat Sat
urday, indicating collapse of the corr
ner and furry in the call money mar
ket Thursday. To add to the uncer-
stainty the London stock market was
closed today. Efforts were manifest to
control the market by supporting spec
ial stocks which had the effect Of
steadying the market. Within fifteen
minutes after the opening Northern
Pacific sold at 1914. This stock has
been nominally quoted at lsO. During
the first hour Union Pacific sold off,
some 3a, a number Of other leading
stocks point or more. Bear operators
were very active on the short side and
they oversold the market and were
driven to cover during the second hour.
This caused some vigorous rallies, but
recovery was checked before reaching
last Thursdays closing level and the
market became very dull and uncer-

tee Hines held that the interstate
commerce act as at present amended
prohibits every unreasonable and ev-
cry unjustly discriminatory rate. The
interstate commerce commission may
itself originate complaints concerning
any supposed violation of law. He SAID
there is in the present law definite
provision for the correction by the
courts of every unreasonable or un-
justly discriminatory rate, with spec
ial provision for speedy disposition OF
all such cases, and with special pro-
vision to prevent any delay on account
of appeals by carriers. The widely
prevailing impression that under the
present law carriers may at their
pleasure and without control charge
unreasonably high and unjustly dis
eliminating rates. is thoroughly err
roneous. Mr.. Hines claimed that the
numerous failures of the commission
in litigation have not been due to any
defect in the law, but have been due
invariably either to the commissions
adoption Of illegal methods. or to the
commissions mistaken condemnation
of practices not prohibited by law.
