NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET


NEW YORK. June 3-The stock market
outset by the outpouring OF sales induced by
consideration of some of the overnight de-
velopments The spasmodic nature OF the
drop In prices resulted In opening the way to
an upward reaction and practically complete
repair OF the opening losses was effected by
midday notable contraction In the volume
81 the transactions then occurred. as though
the speculative temper favored a breathing
SPELL to take account OF the violent expert
onces through which the market has been
carried this week. Prices relapsed suddenly
nt the last to about the lowest. Large at
tcntion was attracted to reports from WASH
ington of the plans of the government authori-
ard OIL company on rebating charges which
might Involve maximum fines even In excess
OF thos imposed In the precious suit, now on
appeal to the higher courts There seemed TO
be more serious view taken OF the cut In
prices OF steel bars than was the case yester-
day when IL was first announced. Financial
sentiment is sensitive to suggestions of wage
controversies and whatever approval has been
shown of the policy of maintenance Of prices
which the steel trade has sought to enforce
mas been due to the claim of its advocates
that 1t would obviate the necessity of reduc-
ing wages in that industry. The aggressive
support which turned the market centered on
Union Pacific and tho renewed rise in that
stock 70 the high figure of yesterday and of
the year was accomplished by intimations that
the details OF the $40.O00.000 bond issue had
been arranged The weather map caused some
msgivings over crop prospects. especially in
the southwestern states. II was after the
spent its force that prices ran of again to
the weak closing Bonds were irregular. The
total sales, par value $3, S09, 900. Govern
mtht ponos were unchanged on call.

SEVERAL SMALL BANKS
TO REMAIN OBSTINATE
viii Not, 1t Is Said, Increase Capital
to Meet Requirements of Clear
ing House - They Will
Be Cut of

It is now believed that many Of the smaller
hanks will remain obstinate to the order of the
clearing house TO increase capital to 100000
before September l.
The clearing house declares that 1t will en-
force fully the new ruling. those banks having
less than the stipulated capital to be denied
clearing house privileges
The Bank of Highland Park will probably
clear through one OF the Pasadena banks. 1t
is said that that bank can do this as con-
veniently through Los Angeles.
AS TO the other small banks 1t is not def
nitey known among them what will be the
outcome There is some talk of establishing a
subclearing house and still more talk of organ
izing the small banks into branches OF the
larger institutions.
Since the order was sent out seven banks
have met the issue by either increasing capi-
tai or merging. Other small banks may do
likewise. But before the time specified is at
hand much friction is anticipated.

WAS EDDY
MURDERED?
Father Thinks that Gas
House Gang Had Some-i
thing TO do With
Disappearance

New York, Sept. G.--What seemed
to be distinct connection between
murder in the gas house district Of
this city on December 81 last and
the nonappearance OF Ralph w. Eddy
a wealthy young Milwaukeean, on
Aug. 22, his wedding day at Woos-
ter, o., was traced out in this city
today by James Eddy. the missing
mans father
The sorrowing parent discovered
that his son had been a vital witness
against William Manley and Daniel
sullivan, two "gas house" gangsters
who are in the Tombs charged with
killing Ernest Nygren, supposed po-
litical enemy.
He fears that the young man may
have gone the way of many other
witnesses against members Of the
East Side gangs Some take money
and leave town Others, who can
not be bought simply do not appear
when the case Is called for trial And
their friends at home wonder what
has become of them
