GOSSIP OF WALL R E


Again the curse OF prices yesterday
represented chiefly the activities Of the
professional trading element. The ses-
sion was devoted to a general evening
up process by these people. Spectators
OF the "in and out" sort sold the mar
ket In the morning and found little re-
sistance. But when they tried to take
their profits they discovered that prices
were being moved back and forth by
their own efforts alone. IT was, in other
words, n thin market both ways, reflect
ing a pronounced disinclination on the
part OF most people to take any position
at all until the present critical situation
abroad has cleared somewhat. Profess
sional sentiment meantime Is bearing on
the theory that II Is difficult to IMAGINE
anything happening in the near future
TO put prices up, whereas 1t Is quite easy
10 imagine a good many things which
might put prices down. The put n call
market reflects the same view. Privilege
brokers are chary about selling puts,
rates for all stocks except Steel being
relatively far away from the market.
ON the other hand, calls are cheap.

New York, April 24.-The police
net was spread all over the city today
in an endeavor to aprehend Joseph
Hanel, German servant believed to
have murdered Mrs. Julia Heilner, an
invalid, at her home in Brooklyn on
Friday.
The Heilner murder was one of the
most brutal in the history of crime
in this city. Hanel had been be-
friended by Mrs. Heilner, who en-
ployed him in her home on his rep
reservations that he was a German
reservist out of work. She was beat
en- to death with a beer bottle. Her
assailant stole the diamonds from her
fingers and ears.

mands $3.50, 900 for the alleged alien
alton of his heiress wife's affection.
Kleist's lawyer endeavored to intro
