TRUST PROSECUTION.
Issues Statement in Reply TO the One
Made Public BY Seere-
tary Hilles.

NEW YORK. May Is.-Publication
Of all correspondents relating to the
prosecution OF the International HAIR
vester company was suggested today
by George w. Perkins. the New York
hnancier. who upon his return to New
York today issued a reply 10 the
statement given out at the white
house last Friday night by Charles ID.
Hilles. secretary to the president.
The statement reads:
have read Mr.. Hilles version OF
the Harvester matter and fail to find
anything in II that I'm the remotest
degree answers my letter of April %
last to Chairman McKinly II Mr..
Tart and his managers had at any time
meant to be fair and square and
frank with the public in this matter.
they would have complied with the
senate's recent request and published
In full that has taken place in regard
TO the Harvester company during the
Taft administration. especially during
the last IL or is months
The public is being deluged daily
with the Taft version OF how Mr..
Roosevelt held up Mr.. Bonaparte's
suit against the Harvester company
and why. but great care il taken TO
keep from the public all knowledge as
TO whether or not Mr.. Taft held up
Fir. Wickersham's suit against the
/ Harvester company and why.
Full publicity regarding the whole
affair would enable the public 10
form its own Judgment and reach its
| own conclusions. II would show also
/ what Mr.. Hilles regards as proper
| favors for a private secretary to a
| president seeking denomination, 20 ask
| from the officers OF a corporation
! threatened with prosecution by the
/ self-sane president"

PROFIT TAKING
Feature Of Closing Of Week In Mar.
ket; Market 10 Open to
Bear Attack.

NEW YORK, May 1s.-The action
OF the market for stocks last week
made Il evident that control had been
relaxed by the organization which has
stood In support OF the stability OF
prices during the recent speculative
campaign. leaving the market vulner-
able to bear attack and to the effect
OF attempted profit taking. Signs that
support had been withdrawn aroused
the fears OF belated followers OF the
speculation. who found themselves
burdened with holdings. and the eff
forts 10 carry on the campaign we're
complicated by their anxiety to realize
profits. The speculative tone, also.
was affected by the suspicion aroused
by the aggressive bidding up OF OBJ
scure stocks.
Reports from the steel trade
strengthened the conviction OF expan-
sion and improvement. Demands from
manufacturers for longer periods for
delivery and pamlums for earlier de-
liveries OF crude steel we're consid-
cred promising symptoms.
Urgent liquidation in the wheat mar.
ket was taken to mean that the worst
in the crop prospect had been discount
ed In the speculation. II did not es-
cape comment, however. that the i'm
pairment OF the early hopes of the
wheat crop had been little noticed in
the period OF advancing prices OF
stocks. Bad local obstacles TO corn
and cotton planting and the possibility
OF reduced acreage in spring wheat
also enter into the estimation Of the
future.
