In Denver today sentiment has
changed in a most remarkable manner
regarding the case. Acting Governor
Harper, members of the pardoning
board and other state officials and the
people generally express the regret
that Ala, the poor ignorant wretch,
had not made his statement public some
days ago and hereby have have an in
vestigation made of the chargest pre-
ferred against Father Leo.
Governor Harper said, in discussing
the case:
eff his story is true. he had no right
to be hung and if I had known it ]
would have reprieved him long enough
to have made an investigation into the
facts connected with the case. 1t Just
goes to show the mistake of capi-
tai punishment law. The man is
dead and our people will always feel
that perhaps there were circumstances
which had made capital punishment
far too severe. A capital punishment
law increases and does not diminish
crime"

VIOLENT CHANGES
IN STOCK MARKET
Heavy Selling Causes Reaction
frem Highest Prices
UNDERGONE is STILL FIRM
In Spite of the Bearish Attacks Upon
the Market Its Absorptive Power
Is Shown and Prices Drop
Very Little.
UNDERGONE is STILL FIRM

New York, November 9.-The irregular
movement of prices today betrayed the
throes of the process of digestion to which
the market was subjected by reason of
the large sales of stocks by the recent
heavy buyers, as we'll as by the holders Of
longer standing.
Although the market staggered under
this treatment, it showed strong absorp-
tive character and power of resistance.
This action served to keep up speculative
confidence and to encourage the renewed
operations on the long side, which be-
came conspicuous after the reaction of the
first hour. The skillful professional ele-
ment of the speculative operators in the
market was made wary by the character
of the trading of the latter part of last
week, and were in dread of the effects
of the first wave of profit-taking sales.
The inevitable tendency of promiscuous
movement is for the floating supply of
stocks to pass from the hands Of the rich
class of capitalists, with abundant means
to protect their holdings and abundant
experience of how to do it, into the hands
of numerous widely scattered and un-
connected small holders most of them
with small means, operating on INSULT
Gent margin, and likely, therefore, to
be forced to sell at sacrifice at a COM
paratively slight reaction in the market.
Even so moderate a recession as that
of the early part of today revealed the ex-
istence of a large number of selling or
ders placed at limits below the prices of
Saturday, with the purpose of saving
profits or stopping losses in case of
break in prices. 1t has been this situa-
ton, although in exaggerated form, which
has caused the worst decentralization in
stock markets of the past. 1t was feared
for a time that the incident would topple
over the speculative fabric which had
been met in the decision on Saturday of
the governments suit against the Amer
lean Tobacco company in favor of the
governments contention of violation by
this company of the antitrust laws. The
language of the decision seemed to some
of those in the financial list to open such
a vulnerable position for practically all
the great corporate combinations of the
modern industrial structure that whole
sale reimbursement would be necessary.
This fear grew out of the judicial asser-
ton that each one of the purchases of
companies complained of in the petition
was a contract and combination in re-
was entered into, and that it is sufficient
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1908-11-10

to bring it within the ban of this drastic
statute
The assurances of the President elect
of exemption from pursuit for those
corporations which are within the law
and using legal methods did not seem
to cover the wide reaching application
thus implied for the existing statute.
The violent break in the American
Tobacco securities themselves, as well
as a good part of the general pressure
on the market was ascribed to this in
f1uence. While it was partly offset by
the vigorous up-bidding of a few
stocks, the disposition to realize specu-
lative profits continued in evidence. A
significant development of the day was
the decided tightening of the time
money market, which was reported
much more active, and with tenders
growingly inclined to hold off for
higher rates. This is the natural con-
sequence of the quickening of COM
mercial and industrial activity and the
certainty of large acquisitions for
loans by corporations of all classes to
prepare facilities for supplying the in
creased demand. The considerations
bearing on the technical speculative
position dominated the market to the
exclusion of facts bearing on actual
values.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,
par value, $6,532,0O0. United States
bonds were unchanged on CALL

PRICE OF WHEAT
A LITTLE HIGHER
Market Is Nervous All Day
With Restricted Trade
BUYING is CONSIDERABLE
Corn Market is Affected by Selling
Based on the Government Report
and Decines-Oats Are Firm
and Provisions Weak.

Chicago. November 9--Lberal primary
receipts offset higher prices for wheat
at European grain centers and caused
steady tone in the local market at the
close, final quotations being unchanged to
ssq15c higher. Corn and provisions were
weak and oats firm.
The wheat market was nervous all day
and the volume of trade was not large.
There was little frmness manifested at
the start owing to the strength of the Eu-
ropean markets. Selling by elevator in
terests soon caused additional declines.
This selling was largely due to a heavy
movement, especially in the northwest,
and to an absence of any export demand,
except for Durum and Manitoba wheat.
The market, however at no sime showed
any great weakness Continued dry
weather in the Ohio valley and other Sec
lions of the winter wheat belt inspired
considerable buying. The market rallied
from the low point late in the day and
prices at the close were unchanged to
3sQ1sc higher, with December at 81. 013s
and May at $1.O51sq1 .05A.
Clearances of wheat and flour were
equal to $4,000 bushels.
Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago report
ed receipts of 1880 cars, against lib cars
last week and $50 cars year ago.
Corn prices declined more than lie to-
day owing to selling based on the govern
ment report which estimated this years
crop to be 5O,O0O,OOO bushels in excess of
that of last year, and which places the
quality of the crop at 86.9, compared with
1913 for the same time on the previous
crop. Prices rallied from the low point
owing to buying by shorts, but the mar
ket closed easy at net losses of AQ9sc.
Final quotations on December were at
61%c and on May at 61&c Local receipts
were LOG cars, with two of contract
grade.
Oats were firm nearly all day because
of buying by cash interests. Continued
small receipts furnished the chief incen-
tive to buy Cash oats at the sample
tables were steady to 1ac higher. The
market closed firm with prices up b@Ac,
with December at 4Sa4c and May at $500
50Ac. Local receipts were 1876 cars.
Local longs were inclined to take profits
in provisions owing to a 15e decline in live
hogs, and with little support the market
was weak all day. The break in hog
prices was due to extremely liberal re-
ceipts at all western packing centers. At
the close prices were shade to 5@71ac
lower.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat
90 cars. corn 206 cars. oats 1876 cars, hogs
$4,000 head.

feet Upon the Market.

New York, November 9.-Today's cotton
market was very active with March and
later months making new high records
for the season. Later prices reacted
partly, however, and the close was barely
steady at net advance of 6@11 points
Sales estimated at $4,000 bales.
The market opened steady at unchanged
prices to a decline of l point and for
the first few minutes ruled rather irregu-
lar owing to lower cables and uncertainty
as to the effect of the census report
But as the market failed to yield to
bearish efforts owing to aggressive sup
port from Wall street bulls demand
became general and during the afternoon
March sold up to 800, or q points above
the lowe level of last Friday and a
points above the previous high record
At this time the general list showed
a net advance of 12617 points. Houses
with New Orleans and western connec-
tions We're active buyers on the advance
while some spot people seemed to be SELL
ing near months. There was some scat
tered southern selling of the late position
and at about $3.50 for the spring months
trading became very heavy, causing a
reaction toward the close. Southern spot
markets officially reported were I'M
changed to Lice higher.
While the census report showed more
cotton ginned to November l than during
any of the previous years for which rec
ords have been kept, the figures were
under rather than over local expectations,
and seemed to have no influence on local
estimates of the crop, those believing in
moderate yield maintaining their posi-
ton by arguments concerning improved
ginning facilities early maturity, abund-
ant labor and favorable weather.

New York, November 9-(Special.) y
After the publication of the ginners' re-

/, large buying orders were received from
Wall street houses, which carried the
market up, some Is points, absorbing large

the close spot houses were free sellers
against purchases in the south during the
day, causing q small reaction. Whenever
the Wall street buying stopped the mar
ket became quiet but the trade, while
admitting the ginners report to be larger
than any estimate, remains bullish. be-
