whole amount authorized would be issued
in moderate installmentS and over q con-
siderable period in the future having some
reaSSurinS effect upon sentiment. New
York Central itself ruled throughout the
day below yesterdays final figure but it
was at no time as low as the low price
of yesterday. The subsistence Of the
acute pressure against this stock and tn"
demand from uncovered shorts in III"
general list gave the market its only
show of spirit.
The trading sank back into the lethargic
condition which has existed for several
days past. While pressure upon the mar
ket met with resistance in the form OF
supporting orders it was equally noticea-
Bile that any efforts to extend the ad-
vance in prices net with increasing sup

expectation of valuable subscription

it withdrew that request. 1t must be
said that your previous actions did not
encourage the committee in the hope
that you would avail yourself Of the

THE committee, as you will recall,

secure through your attendance in

the disposition of the large sums of

After referring 10 the Hamilton
transactions disclosed in the insurance
investigation, the letter concludes:
These facts make clear the reason
why the committee desired from you
the information you could furnish as
to the use and disposition of these
large sums of money. Had that in
formation disclosed that any Of these
sums had been used by you for i'm
Fl oper purposes, there would have
been no shielding By this committee of
any officer or tIustet who had approV-
Cd such payments.

not impeached in any particular by

corroborated by the report of the

Ceedings OF this committee, o. any
