MARKET STEADY
IN CLOSING HOUR
Rubber Takes Drop on Rumor
of Stock Retirement,
but Receivers.

NEW YORK. May 21.-An opening break
OF 2 points in Canadian Pacific followed
by a further decline of az points was the
notable feature at the opening of today's
stock market.
II a. m.-The leaders recovered from
early weakness. Rubber, Tennessee Cop
per and National Lead were higher. with
declines in General Electric, Westing-
house and American Car and Foundry.
Noon-Dealings were unusually light
and without significance. Board room
sentiment was confused. Bonds were
steady.
/ p. m.-High- priced specialties were
buoyant and advanced sensationally on
light dealings. The Tobacco group adj
advanced 2 TO 6 points aud Sears
Roebuck 69s.
2 p. m.-Renewal of weakness in Le-
high Valley and Reading. which went
lower han in the early part of the ses-
sion, were the only features of the late
afternoon.
3 p. m.-The market closed steady. Rub
Der dropped sharply on announcement of
the proposed 20 per cent. stock dives re-
tlrement of the second preferred. but
soon made partial recovery. Reading
was again weak In the late trading.
Smelling was strong.

Archibald Case

WASHINGTON. May 21.-George F.
Baer, president of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad Company. testified to-
day in the House inquiry Into charges
against Judge Robert w. Archibald, of
the Commerce Court. He said the rail
road company was not connected with
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company. of which he is also presi-
dent. The policy of the company. he
said, was not to lease Its culm banks.
The examination of Mr.. Baer was brief.
He denied having any conversation with
Judge Archibald In regard to a culm
property.
"Did Judge Archibald, to your knowl-
many TO lease a culm bank to Fred
warneke, of Scranton" asked Chairman
Clayton.
mot with me-
yice-President Richards, of the same
coal company. testified TINT on Novem-
Der 26 or 81, 1911. Judge Archibald called
ON him at Pottsville and asked for the
situation in regard 10 the proposed
Warneke lease.
81 told him the matter had been con-
sldered and was practically closed and
that the culm bank would not be leased
said Mr.. Richards.
A letter written from Scranton by
Judge Archibald arranging the interview
was read. II was written on a letter
head of the Commerce Court.
Mr.. Richards was asked If his brother
was offered 5000 to get him to change
his mind so Wnrneke could get the lease,
MY brother had nothing to do with 1t.
warneke wrote him about three years
ago to use his influence with me-"
