It was rather more significant OF the
source of the initial selling in Brooklyn
Rapid Transit yesterday than of any ac-
tual information that rumors OF vague
type were spread about Wall Street
about the time when the stock was two
points below its previous closing. These
rumors linked up the recent disaster In
Brooklyn with what was supposed to
have happened to officials Of the COM
pany. 1t was reported that the Grand
Jury had taken action in the matter.
But the selling came chiefly at the out
set from what is locally known as the
uptown crowd" to which has been at
tributed many a raid" on the market
Traction stocks are friendless at present
and the possibilities in speculation for
the decline were patent. No official in
timations have been given that relief
would be accorded the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company, which IL In the same
condition as other local traction con-
Germs, but conservative men in the fnan-
cial community believe that its very diff
fculties and the necessity OF maintaining
the traction systems in New York city
should persuade the municipal or State
authorities that relief could not be de-
layed much longer. 1t was recalled that
when the Boston elevated, which faced
exactly the same sort of situation, re-
ceived State aid. Its stock rallied very
quickly from 81 to so.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-12-20

Another cause of the continued weak
ness in the Government war bonds is the
heavy selling on the part of concerns
whose chief business 1t has been for
some time to inveisle the ignorant into
cashlng their Liberty bonds for much
less than the market price. These con-
Germs have advertised that they would
relieve bondholders OF the burden OF
carrying their subscriptions by giving
them only part of the quoted value OF
the various issues In that way they
nave acquired considerable holdings OF
war bonds, and even the recent declines
have not been sufficient to wipe ont the
Illicit profits gained by the transactions
From realizing on their alleged astute-
ness these concerns have added no slight
force to the factors depressing the Lib
erty bond market 1t would seem II
were time that the Liberty Loan Com
mttee took hand in stopping such pro-
ceedings. II Is understood the subject
has been preached to members OF the
committee, whose answer was that that
body had no power to intervene in the
situation The weakness in the bonds
yesterday was but an added reason for
the committees going to Washington TO
get the power.

Whatever may have been the cause
OF past declines in the Liberty bonds IL
was more patent yesterday, after inves-
tigation In number of offices in the
financial community. that the Christmas
spirit had its effect upon Liberty Loan
values in the market. 1t had been the
inclination of number OF men in Wall
Street to explain this decline on the
theory that the restrictions on money
had their share in the situation. This
theory was based on the supposition
that because brokers' loans were re-
stricted 1t was Of no avail TO accept
Liberty bonds from customers for mar
gined accounts, but the recent dulness
in the market did not bear out the sup
position. No appreciable amount of cash
buying had been noted for some time.
Yesterday it was ascertained that in
response to advertisements many had
sold their bonds in Wall Street TO use
the cash in the purchase of Christmas
presents. In view OF the fact that so
much OF the savings of the man OF
normal Income had gone into Govern
ment issues In the past year the in
creased sales at the department stores
were significant of the weight OF reason
in the latter explanation. In addition
to this it was learned that a number
OF corporations in need of money had
been disposing OF their Liberty Loan
holdings.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
The Plot Thickens.

Dispatches from Washington yester-
day limited that the Federal Railroad
Administration scents a Wall Street plot
to depress market values In railroad
securities by continued publication OF
the threat to turn the roads back to
private operation provided the I'VE year
Federal control programme continues
unsupported. On tho other hand. In
terests in Wall Street not only scent
plot. but feel that II Is thickening. In the
direction of forcing support for the hve
year plan. These interests considered
Director General McAdoo's statement
that II the i've year control were
granted rates would be lower during the
coming year, as designed to gain sup
port of shippers for, the paternalistic
programme. Furthermore, the Director
General was quoted In dispatches from
Washington as saying that wages would
remain at the present rates provided
the Governments control was continued
for five years. That looked to Wall
Street men like bid for labor support.
Reduced rates and continued high wages
naturally would place the railroads in
a greater degree of dependence upon the
Federal Government. But after all the
people must decide whether they wish
the dependence on paternalhsm greater
or less. That is the question which
comes before the Senate and the House
committee hearings scheduled to COIN
mence January 2.

The Ultimate Consumer.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New
York expected to collect only about
S75.000,000 in third instalaents on the
Fourth Liberty Loan yesterday. The
returns were slow in coming. but this
amount will probably have been paid
by the close of the week. Advance pay
ments had been so large that only this
relatively small amount remained to be
paid In this district. The fact that pay
ments on Liberty bonds have been pretty
well completed is by no means an indl-
cation that Liberty bonds have reached
the ultimate consumer. One large bank
reported privately that whereas II had
paid in advance all subscriptions to the
Fourth Liberty Loan. Its customers up
to the close OF business yesterday had
reimbursed it for less than So per cent.
of the total. In other words. the Fourth
Liberty Loan in this particular case was
Go per cent. undigested.

ROUNDING UP AUTO ROGUES

Probably Members of an
Organized Band
Tampa Tribune)

Charging he received the stolen
automobile of o. B. Howse of Ocala,
VIM. H. Goodwin, owner of the Good
win Auto Exchange on Florida ave-
nue., was arrested yesterday by Chief
Deputy Sheriff A. C. Logan and is
being held under bond for the next
! term of criminal court. The informa-
ZION against Goodwin was filed yes
terday by County Solicitor. R. E. L.
Chancey and capias for his arrest
issued at once. Goodwin's bond was
made during the day.
The machine which Goodwin is al
legged to have received here as stolen
property was stolen in Ocala last
month and was traced by it's owner,
0. B. Howse, to Tampa.
Goodwin, who claims he got the
car in trade, went to Georgia with
the car and returned when he got
word that officers were looking for
the machine he was driving, and with
his attorney. w. K. Zewadski, and
Lieutenant of Detectives Fred Thorn
as went. to Ocala and returned the
car to Howse and the reward offered
by Howse was paid to Fred Thomas
and the matter dropped for several
days until County Solicitor R. E. L.
Chancey was informed of the pro-
ceedings and made an investigation,
which led to the filing of the informa-
tion yesterday.
Goodwin SwOre Out Warrant
Sometime after the machine was
recovered, Goodwin swore out war
rant against one C. E. Purdom, whom
he claimed sold him the car, but a
diligent search SO far by the sheriff s
force has not revealed the where-
abouts of any such person. Goodwin
said he paid Purdom $500 in addition
to another automobile which he gave
in as trade.
County Solicitor Chancey spent
several weeks on the investigation,
going into details carefully before
bringing the charge and examining
all who were at all familiar with the
case.
The details of the theft and dispo-
oIIloIi VI I1OWSc Car were similar,
according to officers here, to the dis
appearance of many machines that
are lost in this territory and other
cars that are brought here from
Georgia, and both the county solici-
tor and the sheriff's force have decid-
ed on a campaign to wipe out this IL
legal traffic in automobiles, in which
high grade cars are stolen. obliterat-
ed with new coat of paint and sold
to some unsuspecting buyer.
Goodwin probably will be tried
during the coming term of court.

BOARD OF TRADE

The Marion County Board of Trade
met in regular session Friday night
and the meeting was called to order
by President d. S. Welch. About
dozen members were present.
Several communications were read
from prospective visitors to Ocala,
for the coming winter season, after
which the tourist question was taken
up and discussed from many points.
Mrs. Lester Warner and Mrs. E. C.
Bennett were present and Mrs. War
ner offered many good suggestions
regarding the tourist problem, among
which was the one that we advertise
in northern papers telling prospective
visitors what advantages we have to
offer in Ocala. Mrs. Warner also
suggested that the board make plans
for the erection of rest room to be
maintained on the city park. and that
a tennis court be made near the libra
ry that the winter tourists may as
enjoy the court and library.
Mr.. l.. NJ Murray spoke of the cot
tages that were available but were
not in proper condition for tourists,
same not being furnished.
Mr.. Ottmann gave a good talk re-
garding desirable and undesirable
tourists, and also touched upon clean
ing and keeping our city clear Of
weeds, especially along the sidewalks
and vacant lots.
Mr.. j. HI. Benjamin. of the Star,
made a motion. which was seconded,
that the board write the Saturday
Evening Post and the Country Gen.
tleman, asking for rates for adver-
tising. The secretary was instructed
to write at once for this information.
Mr.. Israelson moved that COM
mittee be appointed to canvass the
homes for furnished rooms and light
housekeeping apartments and that
the committee be composed of men
from the board and ladies from the
Woman's Club. The motion carried.
A committee will be named to go
with a committee from the Woman's
Club to meet with the council, asking
for the removal of the old building on
the city "civic center" lot formerly
occupied by Mr.. B. B. Baum.
