REFEREE FILES REPORT
WAITER HIESTON BANKRUPTCY
CASE BEFORE COURT.

William NJ. Hallam referee in bank
ruptcy today filed his report on the pro-
posed settlement OF Walter Hieston with
his creditors. Mr.. Hallam finds that the
agreement proposed amounts in law to a
composition with his creditors and should
be proceeded with as provided in the bank
ruptcy law for such compromises with
creditors.
In his report to the court Mr. Hallam
hnds that the proposed agreement il signed
oy all creditors, known to him to be such,
except Post & Flags secured creditors
and J. Thilman Hendrick. AS to the claim
or Mr.. Hendrick, the report states, he has
presented certified copy of an agreement
signed by him and two other creditors,
which is the same as the agreement signed
by all the others. Post & Flagg are secured
creditors, and have not signed either OF
the agreements. In view Of the fact that
the agreement purports to be signed by all
creditors. the referee Is Of the opinion that
1t should include the signatures Of these
creditors as well. No objection, he says,
has been entered before him to the pro-
posed dismissal of the proceedings.
Before confirmation Of the agreement or
composition II the court be Of opinion that
1t should be ratified, Mr.. Hallam recon-
mends that the bankrupt should be re-
quired to deposit in court, or pay to such
officers the fees Of the referee, together
with disbursements made by him for print
Ing and publishing the notices herein: and
the compensation and expenses Of the re-
ceiver in the cause
BY the agreement the creditors Of Mr..
Hieston are to accept his notes for the
amounts of their claims. payable In two
years. and the assets of his brokerage bust
ness Is to be returned to him. Post &
Flagg. who have not signed. are the largest
creditors. but are said to be at least par
TALLY secured by stocks transferred to
them. notably the large holding Of Mr..
Hieston in the Traders National Bank.
Justice Anderson will probably pass on the
report within few days.

NEW YORK. July 19.-Some stock mar
ket spectators are attaching considerable
Importance to the fact that several Of the
most important commission houses are not
in sympathy with the present upward move
ment in stocks. One Of these houses has
among its clients some of the most power
full operators in the street. Representatives
Of this firm believe that more attention
should be given at this time to creating an
investment demand for bonds than a specu-
lative interest in stocks.
In spite of the conservatism displayed in
many circles and the fact that the activity
In the market recently has been due chiefly
to the operation Of room traders and few
professionals. 1t seems to be believed that
the market will go somewhat higher on the
part Of the movement. In all conservative
circles it Is pretty universally agreed that
1t would be unwise to attempt to advance
the market too rapidly from the present
level.
In spite Of the technical denials that have
been made from time to time during the
last six or eight months. 1t is stated as
fact that the controlling interests in the
Great Northern are still working on plan
involving that company, the Burlington and
the Northern Pacific.
The date of the announcement of the
various plans will undoubtedly be governed
largely by monetary conditions. and, as
far as the Burlington deal Is concerned. by
the ability of the attorneys to clear up the
legal snags that have been encountered.
~
AS was stated last week. there Is good
authority for the statement that the con-
trolling interests in the local traction COM
panies are not at all disturbed by the off,
cial announcement that the public service
commission Is to investigate the properties
which they represent. 1t Is known that
these officials will cooperate heartily with
the members Of the commission.
The form in which the Amalgamated Cop
per dividend was announced naturally In
spired confidence in some speculative cir
cies. but those familiar with the metal
trade believe that the price will go still
lower. While any further decline might
naturally adversely affect the market quo
tations Of the copper stocks. every one
knows that a very substantial profit could
be made by the producers with copper at
IS cents.
