RENT COMMISSION
TAKES NO ACTION

The Rent Commission had a hear
ing this morning on the summary
process case 06 Sanos Khazarian
against Mushak Chakmatian, 1929
Seaview avenue. The question seems
to be that of the rent for the prem
lses being paid to June or August 1,
Inc landlord claims he has received
no money since June 1, and the ten
ant exhibits a receipt for the rent I'M
til August 1. Attorney Fallon ap
peared for the plaintiff and Attorney
Burton for the defendant. Witnesses
were called showing the values of
property in that vicinity and the
commission decided to take no action
on the matter, allowing the summary
process the usual procedure in the
City Court.

The entire issue OF 500. 900, 900 Certifi-

The request to the banks was that
they set aside one per cent Of their
resources each week, TO invest in In
debtedness Certificates. Issues OF GER
tificates at intervals will be used until
the next loan. The failure to respond
may have been due, IL is said. TO a
misunderstanding. The request also
carried with it the plea to subscribe
for an amount equal at least to two
per cent of their resources for each
bi-weekly issue of certificates.
The number OF subscribers however.
was double the number for the issue
OF January %. Another telegram will
be addressed to the banks. which have
not subscribed, asking again for their
cooperation.

fun rested upon the degree OF its vul-
garity.' says sam Howe. the producer
and stage manager Of the Sam
Howe's Big Show, at the Gayety this
week.
And why" continues Mr.. Howe.
because in the past there were a few
so-called producers who seemed to
think along these lines and kept that
thought Uppermost when they pro-
duced a show.
But according TO Webster the def
milton Of burIesqUe is tending to eN-
cite laughter by eXtrRvsgant contrast
or caricatUre: a ludicrous. grotesoue
representation; a literary composition
or dramatic piece composed in bur
lesaue style; TO ridicule or make ridic-
ulous by caricatured representation;
travesty or parody.
Nowhere does Webster refer 10
vulga-ity or tights. sam HoWe's Big
Show is simply bright. snappy trav-
esty built for fun making purposes.
i believe ] am safe in saying that
you will find less questionable dia-
logue. song and nudity in any bur
lesque show than in a majority OF big
reviews. which Of late seem to have
depended upon form for their success.

MARKET DULLNESS
IN STANDARD ISSUES
Setback Attributed to Uncertainty
Over Russian Situation.
BY BRoADAS WALL.

! New York. Feb. 20.-Fear OF what
may be going on IN Russia plus too
much open pool manipulation gave
the market a distinct setback today
in the standard issues.
Specialties were strong throughout
/ the session. particularly. Enameling
and American Sumatra, both OF
! which made new high records. Three
1 distinct up-and-down movements
took place during the day.
At the opening there was free
selling that caused declines running
about two points in active issues.
] Practically all of this loss was re-
covered under leadership of Enamel
| ing, which announced an increase Of
its dividend from per cent to per
cent.
This rally faded and American Su-
matra led Tobacco stocks and the
whole market in another upward
movement which flattened out. In
/ the last hour Steel moved up to
within a fraction of its recent high
price, dragging the whole list with
it. but Just before the close profit
! taking wiped out all that gain.
Reaction Is Due.
Owing to the difficulty with which
stocks are advanced at the moment
and the ease with which they de-
cline when manipulation is with
drawn. the professionals are being
converted to the idea that a reac-
ton is due. They do not believe
that the market has reached its top.
They are encouraged by the attitude
Of the bankers, practically all of
whom are advising people not to buy
at this time. but to wait for lower
prices.
The big companies whose stocks
are on the exchange deal In neces-
sites and basic materials so, that
they are all making immense profits.
/ Therefore these Idle business men
feel that they are well engaged when
! they speculate in these securities.
Instead of being frightened the pub
lie simply buys more on every re-
action.
Furthermore the steel industry,
which was operating as low as 40
per cent of capacity a short time
ago. is now according to the trade
authorities running at so per cent
of capacity and will soon be run
ming full So the steel stocks are
the logical leaders of the market.
The forthcoming annual report of
United States Steel will make
spectacular showing OF cash assets
that, viii linf1ence trading rnhterf-
ally.
strength of tobacco stocks in the
afternoon was due to report
that the United Cigar Stores
Company had declared 25 per cent
stock dividend. American Tobacco
is showing earnings of above s25
a share on the common stock after
Eaying more than a million dollars
in war taxes.
United Motors was a feature of
the automobile list, with buying in
the stock credited to the same in
terests responsible for the recent
advance of Genertal Motors and
