Wall Street Ignores Shoqvi1g By Steel Corporation
STRONG UNDERGONE TO STOCKS
WITH OLD LEADERS SHOWING
BEST IMPROVEMENT.

NEW YORK. Oct. 11.-This TUesd4s
surprised the Street in that there was
no disposition to weakness and lower
prices as usual on the third day Of the
week The poor showing by the Steel
Corporation, the smallest ever made
% untitled orders save one, was like
other bad news that has filtered
through the Street for the last two
weeks, Of no Importance worthy OF
men tiOn-the Street ignored it. The
Eclders OF securities have evidently
had their ears to the ground listening
for good news only, and confident that
when IL does come IL will have
the desired effect in moving up values.
At the same time their ears are
closed to unfavorable news-it's all
discounted, unless pcrchance there
should come such a Earring in the
opinion OF the highest court on the
trust cases that their confidence
would be shaken
But the street did listen 20 the story
Of the fine harvest Of 1910. the tale Of
1.696. geo, 900 yield of oats, and 100

ALEXANDRIA COUNCIL
TO PROBE CHARGES
Will Investigate Accusation
That Seats Are Held
Illegally.

Storm has rufaed the erstwhile calm
of the city council of Alexandria.
Tonight the members will probe
charges that some OF their number are
not entitled to their seats, and endeavor
10 set the accusation at rest one way
or another
The charge was made last year by
corporation which refused to repair
street damaged by II on the grounds
that the city council was not legally
organized. and could not order such
work done.
Councilmen Brocllett and Williams
are leading the night for an investiga-
ton which viii begin this evening.
Story of Charges.
The story Of the charges that mem
bers are holding their seats Illegally is
not a new one, having been brought up
last year. At that time no effort was
made by the city fathers to nail the
truth or falsity OF the assertion. The
matter was brought to the councils at
tentiOn in the ultimatum Of the cor
poration.
According to members Of the council,
all Of whom are anxious to have the
matter settled, one Of the streets of
Alexandria was torn up last year by
men working for municipal corpora
ton
The corporation allowed the street TO
remain in an almost impossible cOndi-
ton, II is said, and then the council
made a formal demand OF the corpora
ton to set repair gangs at work
Little or no attention was paid 20
the demand Weeks went by and still
the street was 'unrepaired. Finally an
officer of the corporation, according 10
certain Of the councilmen, replied to the
demand, refusing 10 have the street re
paired He declared that the council.
being Illegally formed. had no power
over his corporation, and when pressed
for details, said that some Of the mem
beers who We're daily taking part In the
deliberations of that body had no right
to be there. No effort was made by the
last council TO probe this charge.
When Councilmen Williams and
Crockett took their seats this year. hay
ing heard the accusations OF llegality,
they determined to press the matter, and
have arranged 10 have II considered to-
night.
If" said Mr. BrocSett today. these
men are entitled TO their seats, well and
good. II they are not, they should not
be in the council We do not wish 10
deprive any member OF his seat, but
