age Suit Before jury.

BALTIMORE, Nd, December 30
That John Hays Hammond, the mining
engineer. by failing to see that stock in
the General Cotton Securities Company

patent attorney, and Willard Doremus,
an inventor. had made himself liable to
S23S,700 damages, was the verdict rem
dered by a jury in the suDerior court
here last night. An appeal will be
taken.
Daniel J. sully. former syndicate
manager for the securities company, in
his testimony during the trial, alleged
that Hammond had not dealt in good
faith with him in Sullys negotiations
for the sale of the foreign rights in an
invention by Doremus, now deceased.
It was alleged that Mr.. Hammond OBJ
tanned possession Of and converted TO
his own use stock of the General Secur-
Doremus and valued. respectively. at
'$477,50O and 100000
On behalf of Hammond it was stated
that after spending $4,000 in an effort
to develop a cotton gin invented by
Doremus, and finding that it was not a
success, the defendant called a meeting
of the directors of the Securities Com
pany and had adopted a resolution Civ
ing the patents back to the plaintiffs in
the suits against him and dissolving the
company.
The foreman of the jury said that they
did not hold Mr.. Hammond personally
responsible for the allegations set foi tn
in the testimony. but did feel that he was
responsible for the acts Of his agents.

GASOLINE CONSUMPTION
GREATER THAN SUPPLY

CHICAGO, December 30.-A note of
alarm as to the gasoline supply of the
country was sounded at the convention
of the Society of Agricultural Engin-
GERS here yesterday by Dr. Oscar E.
Bransky of the Standard Oil Company
He declared that production was not
keeping pace with consumption and
that exhaustion Of the supply was
drawing near. The tension was con-
siderably relieved. however, when it
was calculated that the estimated re-
naming supply of crude oil, visible and
invisible. 7.629.e00,000 barrels in ali,
would last 1913 years longer at the 1915
rate of consumption of 55,OO0,O 900 bar
rels.
DR.. Bransky said next year there will
be 100000 automobiles in operation in
the United States or 100000 more than
this year. He estimated that eastern
oil fields are IS per cent exhausted. mid
continental fields. so per cent; Texas
fields. 80 per cent, and the California
fields. IS per cent exhausted.

FURTHER PRICE REVISIONS
FEATURE WEEKS TRADING

NEW YORK, December 3O.-The final
week of the most remarkable year on
the stock exchange was attended by a
further revision. partly downward. of
prices. due mainly to continued uncer-
tainties in the international situation
with Mexico as an added irrtant.
Additional elimination of the extern
sive bull account was effected, together
with more liquidation by investors. who
seemed to deem it advisable to reduce
their holdings. Munitions. equipments,

mates of the Steel Corporations earn

usual rumors of an increase in the rate
Of extra" dividend on the common
stock.
Slight Demand for High Grades.
Demand for rails was hardly more
than nominal, but recent quotations
were mostly maintained despite some
reduction of net earnings as compared
with the high records of the fall
months. The statement of the inter-
state commerce commission. showing
net income of over billion dollars by
the leading transportation systems was
something of factor in that quarter.
Thus far, the usual preholiday in
vestment demand for high-grade Sc
.urities has been relatively slight, de-
spite the fact that January interest
and dividend disbursements will exceed
all previous records. This hesitation
is generally ascribed to events of the
past few weeks, which have caused no
little readjustment of future values
