DECIDES AGAINST RAILROAD
COURT GUSTS THE "HOCKING
VALLEY" FROM CONTROL.
Ownership Of Stock of Coal Com.
panies Declared Plainly Illegal.
Appeal Likely.

COLUMBUS Ohio. April 2l--The circuit
court of Franklin county today handed
down decree ousting the Hooking VAL
ley railroad from control, through the j.
Pierpont Morgan syndicate, of the lanes
vile and Western, the Toledo and Ohio
Central. and the Kanawha and Michigan
railroads The railroad was, by the de-
cision, also ousted from its control of
the Sunday Creek Coal Company, the
Sunday Greek Company. the Continental
Company and the Buckeye Coal and
Railway Company.
The decision is sweeping one. and
Is 6 wen under the Ohio antitrust law. 1t
was in the suit of the attorney general,
in the name of the state, against the
Hooking Valley Railway Company. which
was prosecuted to a successful end by
Attorney General Denman.
Illegal and Unwarranted.
The opinion of the circuit court was
written by Judge A. L. Aired. 1t de-
clares that the ownership by the Hook
ing Valley railway OF the stock of the
coal companies-through which the coal
situation in all the Hooking and Sunday
Creek valleys is controlled-is plainly il
legal and unwarranted.
The court also holds that it is unlaW-
full for the Hooking Valley to control the
Toledo and Ohio Central, kanawha and
Michigan and GAINESVILLE and Western
roads, which are parallel and competing
lines.
The court stated that the testimony did
not seem to warrant an ousting Of the
Hooking Valley railway from its charter.
The Hooking Valley is expected to carry
the case to the Supreme Court

delivery dropped below the dollar mark
following the example of the December
option set on the previous day, and sold
at 991a to 1.001t at the start
The demoralzed condition of trade at
the outset was due to sensational declines
at Liverpool. where prices were off from
~ pence to 31s pence as result of great
ly increased shipments of wheat from all
exporting countries.
Favorable crop reports from this coun-
try and Europe all exerted a depressing
effect. After the first burst of selling had
subsided trade for a time was dull no
trades being made in the May delivery for
about fifteen minutes following the open
ing. During the early part of the day
prices held within the opening range.
Corn was as demoralized as wheat at
the start. opening quotations being down

NEW YORK, April 24.-The cotton
market opened steady, at an advance
OF 1a4 points, which was hardly as
good as due on the cables. and during
the first few minutes sold off slightly
under continued liquidation and local
bear pressure. July declined to 1920,
or within I point of last nights close,
while the new crop sold a point or two
net lower. but the decline was checked
by covering by nearby shorts. and the
market later in the morning worked
up to a net advance of 5a13 points. with
May and July relatively firm subse.
quent fluctuations were nervous ani
irregular. and local interests evidently
felt that further liquidation was i'm
pending. although offerings were much
less urgent than yesterday, and the

fresh bearish feature. No further

the market resumed the advancing ten
denotes which have been exhibited during
the greater part of the week ana the
month The European stock markets
again furnished little reflection of the po-
litical situation in Turkey and no atten-
tion was accorded to the matter In the
local transactions. In the early part OF
the day the London stock market was
moderately affected by the progress OF
the Turkish revolution. but prices later
fully recovered such declines were first
shown.
Leading features of the local market in
respect of strength and activity were
Reading, Union and Southern Pacific, the
Wabash shares. American Smelling and
the United States Steel issues. Chiefly
because of the slight hardening of the
money market during the week there was
a greater degree of discussion accorded
TO the outlook for the bank statement, al
though the preliminary forecasts of that
