CLAIMS OWNERSHIP.
r. G. Craerin Would Prevent Alien.
alton of Stock Worth Sill 900.

Raymond G. Craerin flied suit in the
District Supreme Court today against
his mother. Annie Craerin, who, he as
serts, is seventy-five years old and easily
influenced the object of the suit being
to prevent the alienation of stock in a
building association, valued at $1,000.
which he declares, he placed in his
mothers name for convenience, and that
she might have the use of the income.
While his mother has never denied. ne
states, that the stock belongs to him,
the certificates are in such shape, he
tells the court, that only her signature
is necessary to transfer the ownership.
He fears, she says, that some member
of the family may influence his mother
to sign over the. certificates.
The son informs the court that he for
merly managed his mothers business
affairs and had joint possession with her
of all her books and papers, and ieft
his building association book in her pos
session. Recently, he states, because of
certain family misunderstanding and
the exercise of outside influences, his
mother withdrew her confidence and took
over the sole direction and control Of
her affairs.
The court is asked to declare that Mrs
Craerin holds the certificate of stock for
her own use as to the net income for
life and at her death the stock is to be
transferred to the son.
Attorneys Tucker Kenyon & Macfar-
land represent the son.

The gossip of the floor contained some
reference 70 further troubles among large
northern concerns, which increased the
tendency TO go short of the old crop

support from any quarter, was in evil
dence. and led to the claim that south

Call money advanced to 80. after re-

a prospective cash gain of over $40 OGO 600
ANY tendency toward Improvement was
probably arrested by the rise in call
money to per cent. While no fears
OF stringency are entertained. the pros
pect of another decrease in the bank
reserves doubtless contributed to the

The news did not become public until
shortly before midday, prior to which
time the market had shown some firm

General news of the day was of a
mixed character. varying from reassur-

Bank of England showed a sharp decline
in its proportion of reserve. to liabilities,
although that item was in excess of the
corresponding week last year.
