LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

For the first time since last Friday. fol-
lowing the first Saturday holiday of the
year. the real holiday of the Fourth and
an extra holiday Monday made by vote Of
the exchange itself. the Washington Stock
Exchange held its regular noon meeting
today. The attendance of brokers was
fairly good. and even though the contin-
ued hot weather is forcing the beginning
of vacation trips by many followers of
the market, their absence was not es-
pecially noticeable today. as there was
considerable investment buying in evil
dence. In fact, the call of the bond list
brought forth more than the average
number Of bids, and upward of $4,000
worth of bonds were bought and sold on
the floor.
Potomac Consolidated IS. which have
been in much demand of recent weeks.
scored another advance, and the bonds to
the value of $4,000 were taken at 1O1as
and 1o1k. Washington Gas IS also found
ready sale. $1,000 being taken at ITO and
1925. Other bonds in the list of sales
included $1,000 Capital Traction 5s at
1925 and $1,000 City and Suburban IS at
1857.
One of the features of the days trad
ing was a well sustained demand for
Observation-Disclosures Railway stock, and
under pressure of steady bidding ,he price
OF the common stock gained a full point
over the closing offering of last week.
At Fridays meeting of the exchange
the best bid for Virginia
Railway common was 1914, and the first
sale today, which was made at the level
Of 4Oh. showed net gain of a point
over last weeks price. while the last sale
today. which was made at the level Of II.
indicated an actual advance of nearly >
points. 1t is stated authoritatively that
the demand for this stock IS coming from
out-of-town sources.
1t Is not often that Riggs Bank enters
into the transactions on the exchange
save that it's quotations are maintained
at the established high level for this Sc
curity but two small blocks of actual
stock were offered on the floor today. and
the nine shares concerned found ready
sale a the level of 500.
Demand is still In evidence for prac
tically all of the United States Trust
stock which may be offered Thirty-f
shares We're sold at the exchange session
today at prices ranging between 122ss
ard 1921.

ASK GROSS QUESTIONS
|. OF PRISONERS, IT'S SAID.
Justice Anderson Surprised at
Those Put to New Inmates
at 0ccoquan.

That questions so gross in character
as not to stand publication are asked
new prisoners at Occoquan. and that the
prisoners are compelled to answer them
under threat of punishment. was the
statement made today by Attorney NJ.
+. O'Brien, who will represent two
it is claimed that the Commissioners
have no right to send prisoners to Oc-
coquan from the District Jail
In the course of legal preliminaries to-
day Mr.. O'Brien handed to Justice Ander-
son of the Supreme Court of the District
Of Columbia printed list of the ques-
lions which. he said. are those which the
men and women at Occoquan are conpell-
ed to answer. When Justice Anderson
had glanced over the questions lie indig-
nantly remarked that some Of the ques-
tons appeared monstrous and that If
the authorities of the institution attempt
ed to coerce men to answer the questions,
they would probably encounter serious
trouble. In the present aspect Of the case.
however. the court said he could mot deal
with the matter
Justice Signs Order.
In order to validate the presence at
Occoquan of 100 prisoners. including the
two men whose applications for habeas
corpus will be considered tomorrow by
the United States court at Alexandria,
Va, the District Commissioners today
asked Justice Anderson to sign an order
certifying the assent by the District SUI
preme Court to the transfer of these
prisoners from the District Jail and work.
house. made March o. 1911.
Over the opposition of Attorney O'Brien
Justice Anderson signed an order certify
ing such assent. Mr.. O'Brien noted an
exception and gave notice of an appeal
TO the District Court of Appeals.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Stephens,
in explaining to the court the necessity
for the order. said that unless such an
order was procured a number of habeas
corpus proceedings might follow. Justice
Anderson remarked in signing the order
that it's efficacy might be more appro-
priately contested in another proceeding.

Wire Mems Case POSTPONED.

NEW YORK. July 5-This was the day
set for the arraignment Of the eighty
four men indicted by the federal grand
jury last week in connection with the al
alleged wire pools, but attorneys for both
sides agreed to defer action. and the ar

was due TO the absence from town OF

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO July 5.-Because of the with
ering heat. the price of corn today
jumped up as much IA cents bushel.
For the same reason oats made sky
ward leap of DIS to "a.
The corn market was boiling with ex-
element right from the start. Buying
orders seemed to pile in from all direc-
tons. but sellers were scarce. The furry
received greater impetus from the fact
that Kansas City reported an advance of
cents bushel straight, compared with
last previous quotations. There. as we'll
a. here. the intense heat over the corn
belt was the big factor. A circumstance
making matters worse from a crop stand
point was the almost complete absence
OF moisture for the last four days. Ee-
sides, world shipments were reported as
much lighter than had been looked for.
and Liverpool dispatches told of heavy
covering by shorts.
The opening here ranged all the way
from III to ias higher On the same
option trades in different parts of the
pit at given moment varied as much
tive rise was in the July delivery.
September. which was the most active
future. started 212 to up. at 641z to
IS. and finally steadied around s51a.
In the oats crowd traders were al
most fully as. much exercised as in the
corn pit. Business was on huge scale.
The specific news that attracted great
est attention was an official report
from Iowa showing falling off of
IS per cent i'm the condition of the oats
crop in that state. Most of the dam
age was laid to the excessive heat and
to the lack of rain. September opening
xal to 2lsa2i4 higher, at 49, to 46s.,
and held at about IS.
Wheat was affected chiefly by the
bulge in the coarse grains. Offerings
were unusually Hight with commission
houses and traders generally taking the
bull side. Reports of excessive heat in
Russia added to the disbursement of
the bears. and did official crop ad-
vices OF a depressing sort from Germany
The opening was 4 TO 1a.c up. Septem-
10 III and assembled to 914.
Provisions sympathized with the ad-
vance of cereals. but receded on account
OF IN extraordinary increase shown in
the worlds lard supply. First sales were
unchanged 10 TIC higher. with September
deliveries 1j95 for pork, $40 to S.s71a for
lard and S62i1 to 49, for ribs.
KANSAS CITY, July Amid the
widest scenes enacted on the Kansas

POWERS REQUEST HAITI
TO SETTLE CLAIMS
Early Adjustment of Troubles
With Citizens of Several
Nations Asked.

The joint note presented yesterday to
the Haitian government by the United
States. Great Britain, France, Germany
and Italy. requesting an adjustment Of
the claims of their citizens, is not an
ultimatum. 1t is declared at the State De-
partment, but friendly request to con-
clude the long-standing questions by di-
piomacy or arbitration. The Haitian gov
eminent itself. it is added, suggested this
procedure in order to conclude the mat
ter as speedily as possible.
Carrying out Haiti's suggestion, the
United States has joined hands with the
European nations in a note which asks
that the claims be settled diploma ically
within three months, or, in the event Of
the failure of that course. that they be
referred to arbitration.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-07-05
Much Diplomatic Discussion.

For long time these claims have been
the subject Of diplomatic discussion be-
tween Haiti and the interested powers.
AS the matter has been so thoroughly
threshed out, Haiti believes. 1t is stated.
that she can conclude an adjustment by
diplomacy within three months. If set
Element by that means is at all possible.
Although Haiti has not looked with IA
vor on a proposition to refer the matter
to a claims commission. 1t is predicted
that course will be the ultimate out
come In case the suggested diplomatic
negotiations fail.
Several months ago the Central Bank of
Haiti was reorganized. with Americans
controlling 80 per cent of the stock That
institution was to have taken over the
bonded Indebtedness Of Haiti and eff
fected a settlement The Haitian govern
ment. however. seemed disposed to scale
