WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-The name
Of James W. Gerard, United States
ambassador to Berlin was mentioned
for the first time before the house
rules committee investigating the
leak to Wall street Of advance infor-
nation on the presidents note to
belligerents. while Presidential Secre-
tary Tumulty was being cross exam
ined.
Tumulty had made comprehensive
denial Of reports that he was con-
cerned in the leak, supported by an
authorized statement from President
Wilson that the secretary knew moth
ing of the note. He had testified that
President Wilson wrote the note him
self, on his own typewriter and while
house attaches did not know Of its
existence.
Representative Chipperfield asked
Tumulty whether he had ever visited
a local stock broker.
Tumulty replied yes, and after fur
Their questioning he said he had in
troduced Gerard at the Offices of W.
iB Hibbs and Company.

buy bonds.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Features of the Days Dealings in Al
the Leading Stocks

New York. Dec. 4.-Stocks were dull
and heavy in the first hour of today's
session. rallied moderately during the
publication of the Presidents message
and reacted almost violently In the few
erish final hour, extreme reversals
ranging from to points
United States Steel was foremost in
the unexpected setback, declining from
90, its maximum of the previous hour
to 81 rs, net loss of II points on
extremely large offerings. Other equip
ments and the entire war division to-
gether with kindred specialties made
gains of one to three points, while
rails. irregular at best, yielded 2 to 3
points. New minimums We're estab-
lished by Pennsylvania at "A 1-2. St.
Paul preferred at II and Baltimore
and Ohio preferred at SIS rs.
Coppers, oils and many other war
shares closed at net recessions of 2
previous uncertainty on the reduced
Kennecott Copper dividend.
Shippings also ranked among the
reactionary issues, Marine preferred
extending it's early loss of three points
to full five. Selling of that issue
evidently was prompted by disapoint-
ment at the small deferred dividend
declared after the close of yesterdays
traing. The market closed with weak
tone. Sales amounted to $50, 600 shares,
fully 40 per cent. representing the
turnover of the last so minutes.
All other considerations and happen
ings of the day were subordinated to
the Presidents historic address. The
absence of any immediate relief in that
communication for the railroads occa-
stoned some regret.
Bonds were heavy on broader deal
ings. Liberty As sold at 1856 to 977o
and the LIS at $3.50 to 9S.8S. Total
sales (par vaiue) aggregated s415O.-
900.
United States bonds {old) issues
were unchanged on call, except the
Panama IS, which rose four per cent.
