NEW YORK, Aug. S.-Immediately on
the opening London reflected the efforts
of holders Of stocks en- bloc on this side
to check any tendency toward weak
ness. An average advance of a point
was the means taken to give our mar
ket a good opening. 1t was plainly
manipulated, as was the show of
strength made yesterday afternoon, and
for the purpose Of checking the declin-
ing tendency before it became too Sc
rious.
The average opening price here was
the highest OF the morning session. For
a time there was fairly good trading
among the leaders, but prices gradually
eased off for q complete loss, after the
first hour of all the earlier gain. The
chief inducement apparent In the news
of the day for bear pressure was IN re-
ported additional damage to wheat and
corn, and a fear that the Government
crop report would bear out the damage
stories. OF course, the real trouble Is
easier to find If one looks Washington

Is a day-in and a day-out reason, from
which attention will be diverted as well
as possible.
There is a theory among close observ-
ers of financial conditions that the hold
ers of securities are feeding the market
on all rallies; that they are ready to
step in now and then and check 9e-
clines which they find easy to stop, for
the reason that selling other than their
own is largely for short account, and
ceases with every checked decline. 10

a trading affair; no one looks for i'm
pressive buying, and, therefore, the
fluctuations cause little comment other
than advice to sell on strong rallies
and protect purchases made on a de-
clining scale with stop orders-in feeling
for the low point.
The news other than as affecting
crops and probably Congressional ad,
jourpment, we're favorable. The steel
and iron business in showing a de-
cided improvement, a decrease in the
stock of copper, big cotton, hand
some foreign trade that promises to in,
dictate heavier exports of metals, and
some favorable general news was given
out. The Missouri Pacific in its improve
ment plans will be after passenger
cars, freight and locomotive equipment.
and will place a big order for rails in
a few days.
No one wants to climb for stocks, no
matter how favorable the general news
1t is recognized that stocks Will be out
on rallies in the effort of the big men OF
the Street to shift some of their bur-
dens, and the shorts frequently seem to
be the only buyers.

the railroads of the country would
have to stand pat to make both ends
meet, seemed to get new hold and

LOCAL SECURITIES

Bankers Look for Favorable
Decision In Trust Com
pany Adjunct Case.

On the local market Washington Gas
was a good favorite. The earnest ef-
forts of the officials to make savings In
expenses and in leakage and the inau-
euration of the commercial depart
ment, are attracting the attention of
investors. The average price was 80,
and this was bid at the close with a
small lot at S9A and stock offered at the
latter price.
The other feature of the session was
lively business in Potomac Consoli-
dated 5's, the price being 102, for all
but one lot, which brought II less.
District National Bank showed a fair
degree of activity at 1927. Small sales
of Union Trust at 143 to 142% completed
the bank share transactions.
Railway common was neglected, but
firm at 44s. Mercy sold at 234.

Several local bankers hold that the
National City Bank of New York. and
the Continental and Commercial of Chi
cago, are acting within their rights in
the formation Of trust company or hold
ing company adJuncts.
It Is generally understood that the At
torney General was not asked for an
opinion In the matter in question, and
that the Secretary OF the Treasury is
far from certain that the law has been
violated in any way despite the opin-
ion of Mr.. Wfckersham. the latter evil
IDENTIFY considering that something new
was being undertaken in the world of
finance.
The very best legal opinion does not
fnd ore statute on the law books inter-
fering with the procedure which has be-
come go general all over the country,
that It NAV be characterized as custom.
Levi Mayer. OF Chicago. who will
visit Washington with President Rey-
nolds, Of the Continental-Commer
National Rank. is one OF the earliest OF
the legal profession to give attention to
corporation and banking law almost ex-
clusivelv, and Is rarely defeated in his
contentious.
IT is probable that the banking insti-
tutions involved in the present instance
will, If necessary, stand pat, permit
ting the courts to pass upon the legality
Of their action. even though the opin-
ion Of certain off ,ials is adverse. Just
why the two big banks should be sim
gled ont OF all the banks that have
trust company affiliations, is not under
stood unless it Is because they are the
largest and the latest in taking advant-
age Of opportunity.

larly called in this county, instead of only,
by the direction of the court as the law
now requires. The editorial referred to was
evidently written by some one who has not
familarized himself with the past history
of grand juries in King County The space
the history of past grand juries, but take the
present one, which will suffice for illustra-
ton. 1t will be conceded that the principal
object in calling this grand jury was to
indict c. w. Wappenstein. There is no
question about the proposition that W. j.
Burnes and his men secured all the evidence
necessary long before the grand jury was
called and SO far as those indictments are
concerned, they were unnecessary and the
expense OF grand jury a waste of money.
Mr. Murphy could have prosecuted by in
formation Just as we'll as by Indictment in
the Wappenstein case. The same can be
said of every indictment found. Then,
there are some unpleasant features con-
nected with the calling OF every grand jury
in this county. The prosecuting attorney,
upon whose shoulders rests the response
biity of prosecuting the cases, knows bet
ter than the grand jury the cases i'll which
a true bill should be found, but his opinions,
in MANY cases, are entirely disregarded and
men are indicted and disgraced against the
protest and advice of the prosecutor Then
again the retaining of grand jury for six
or eight months is a menace, and especially
in the hands of an inexperienced prose
cutor who, if he thinks witness has not
testified as he would wish, or if Justice
decides a case against his office, promptly
cites the parties before the grand jury and
in that manner, an instrument intended to
be used as proper and necessary adjinct
to the court, is made a weapon of intimida-
ton. and it is with fear and trembling that
witness appear and tell the truth.
There were some indictments found
against Col Blethen | understand the
Colonel asked the grand jury to hear his
evidence and reconsider the testimony upon
which the indictment was found. | am
further informed that Judge Main and
Prosecutor Murphy consented that the
Colonel might appear before the grand jury,
which consider commendabe act on their
part but the grand jury refused to hear
Col Blethen | don't know whether he is
guilty or not, and | am not concerning my
self about that phase of the case, but Col,
Blethen conducts one of the leading papers
in the United States, and is one of our most
prominent citizens who, while he has hosts
of enemies, has an equal number of friends.
Such man should have been shown the
respect due in his station of life, and If he
could have shown that he was wrongfully
indicted, the grand jury should have been
willing and glad, to save him from the dis
grace of trial. If these matters reported
to me are true, do not believe the people
will want a grand jury every year. Then

Under our state law instructing jury might
be more difficult but any we'll read judge
could do it. 1t will always remain mystery
to me how any we'll read lawyer could CON
cur in Judge Harlan's dissenting opinion.
