GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Confusion over Money situstion

Yesterdays session was mainly infiu-
enced BY reports Of change In the atti-
tude of the money committee toward
Stock Exchange loans and the Streets
attention was centred all day on the
protracted meetings Of the bankers end
officials of the Stock Exchange. From
the beginning OF business until the clos
ing gong all efforts were directed toward
uncovering what was transpiring at the
conferences Of financiers and exchange
officers with little success. Near the
end OF the business day limitations that
steps would be taken to remove present
restrictions on rates for loans checked
the decline, but prices failed to respond
except In some short covering. In re-
sponsiole banking quarters Il was said
that the bankers felt the necessity for
regulation OF rates had pissed but that
members Of the money committee were
divided as TO the math'd Of achieving
this end. The fact that no statement
was forthcoming from the comm tteo
was taken to mean that the matter was
still unsettled.

Baldwin locomotives action through
out the unsettled session yesterday In
dicsted strongly that something unusual
was occurr ng in the stock, for while Il
moved Off with the rest Of the market In
the early trading Il soon developed q
trend OF It's own. In fact the strength
OF Baldwin stood out against the back
ground Of crumbling prices In a most
convincing manner. and the fact that a
non-div!dend paying issue could make
such Roadway against a declining mar
ket was interpreted as forecasting some
important event. The belief persists in
circles closely associated with the Bald
win interests that at the directors meet
ing next month the dividend question
Will be considered In conjunction with
the capital adjustment scheme AS mem
toned previously. It is believed that the
large holdings OF Liberty bonds in the
Baldwin treasury vii not remain there
very much longer.

sumatra's stock Dividend.

TAe activity in American Sumatra this
week is explained by the announcement
that the Capital Issues Committee has
approved the company's proposed Is per
cent. stock dividend. In quarters iden-
tilted with the American Sumatra inter-
ests this favorable action OF the Capital
Issues Committee was not surprising,
though the authorization OF the extra
dividend came sooner than was generally
expected by the Street. II was learned
that no word was received from the
Washington committee as 10 the COM
pany's application to issue additional
stock at par. and this is taken TO mean
that this will be Indefinitely postponed
II was said that as the company Is not
In need OF new funds the failure OF the
committee to approve the stock increase
will not make any difference, and it's last
report showed q strong financial position.

Peace, Mexico and other popular
topics Of discussion which claimed the
Streets attention up to yesterday were
lost In the flood OF rumors about the
money situation. and as a whole the So
called peace shares had hard time of
II That transactions again exceeded the
million share figure testified TO a large
public interest In securities. and houses
which generally handle this kind of
business reported very little liquidation
by small holders, Whether this was due
to the fact that the news about the COM
ing change in the money market was
unknown outside of the financial district
could not be ascertained. but brokers
pointed out that margin accounts were
the smallest In years. which may ex-
plain the absence OF outside selling Sem
timent on the floor was distinctly bear
ish all day. and with pressure being ex-
erted from this source the market dis

Cash Buying . Factor.

One banker whose Judgment OF money
conditions has been most accurate de-
clared yesterday that whatever course
the money committee adopted he did not
see how people with large credit bal
ances In New York institutions could be
prevented from purchasing securities.
And in addition to the buyers Of this
type In the United States investors in
neutral and allied countries abroad have
been steadily &C umulating ecur ties for
weeks past. which Of course puts this
kind Of investing beyond the control of
any one. II has been the contention of
this banker all along that money con-
ditions were much better than appeared
on the surface. and any decision Of the
money committee to allow rates to shape
their own course would confirm this
view. for II is pointed out that II the
bankers did not believe the situation
sound enough to take care OF itself they
would not abandon their control over It.

An Operators Opinion,

A market operator whose experience
IN wall Street covers the last three dec
ades offered an interesting analysis OF
the existing confusion over the reported
stand OF the money committee. Though
some traders have taken a bearish atti-
tude." he said. 81 have never seen the
time when the people whose operations
make markets have warned the public
that II is time to sell stocks And yet II
the money committee does anything to
bring about decline in the market II
will be the signal to dispose OF securi-
ties. This makes II appear that the pro-
fessional element has misinterpreted the
committees purpose"

Streets Various Interpretations.

Various Interpretations were gixen to
the reports that the bankers money
committee contemplated removing re-
strictionI on rates for Stoc' Exchs nge
loans and the feverish movement of
security prices reflected the Streets con-
ficting opinions. 1t appeared to be the
prevailing sentiment. however. tn ( as
soon as the fin ncial community knew
what was expected OF Il on the question
of money rates the trend would be estab-
llshed very quickly. Those who claimed
to know what was in the minds Of the
bankers servin. on the money committee
declared that Y the fixed price for funds
was discarded money would be more
easily obt' 'nable, even II at higher rates.

NO DECISION MADE
BY M'ISAAC Jury
After All Night Session, Judge
Moss Discharges Body
Which Disagreed
WILL BE TRIED AGAIN

Because its members were unable to
reach a verdict after an all-night ses-
sion. the jury in the case of John Nc
Isaac, charged with the murder of
Beverly Bryan. colored, at the Laurel
race track on October %, last, was dis
charged this morning by Judge Moss.
States Attorney Green stated that the
accused would again be brought to
trial as promptly as practicable. When
the jury appeared at $40 this morning,
Judge Moss asked the foreman, Arthur
A. Downes. if there was a reasonable
prospect of reaching an agreement.
Mr. Downes said that there was not.
and the jury was thereupon discharg-
ed, the extra talesmen. several of
whom had been called when the regu-
lar panel was exhausted by the de-
fense's challenges, were. discharged.
There was a great confiict'in the tes-
timony, some of the witnesses indi-
Gated that the killing was done under
circumstances of deliberation. They
stated that McIsaacs, who had quar-
relied the day previous with the negro.
drove up in an automobile, and jumped
out and shot him. Others gave an en-
tirely different account. 1t was one
of those cases where a hung" jury
was likely.
The jury retired at $40 yesterday
afternoon. They were permitted to
have supper, but spent the night in the
court room. making many vain efforts
to reach an agreement. They had not
breakfasted previous to being dis
charged at $40 this morning. The
Court has taken recess until Monday
morning. there being no other business
ready.

PATRIOTIC UNDERTAKING

The Maryland Council of Defense
Woman's Section, has recently estab-
lished new enterprise, known as the
Carrier and Errand Service" Ii is
most earnestly requested that no one
will enter the service without a full
realization of the sacrifice which this
patriotic service demands.
The purpose of the Service is to
furnish transportation for workers and

The members of the Service are ex-
pected to offer their conveyances for
Carrier or Errand Service.
Members of the Carrier Service
must provide motors when needed

their own cars or motorcycles.

the following divisions:
Members of council to meetings,
Liberty loan, thrift savings, food pro-
duction, speakers bureau, public in
formation.
The chairman of the council ap-
points the state chairman. The chair
man of the county council appoints the
captains for the county. The captain
appoints a district lieutenant for each
election district of the county.
Each district lieutenant appoints
two aides If desired. Aides can take
command, do clerical work, or be ap-
pointed for any special detail. but they
should not be appointed until they
have proved they are worthy of trust
The members of the Service must be
Americans. They must be known to
the district lieutenants and present
two references

required to give two days each week,
the number of hours to be decided by

charged for failure to report for duty,
and after three failures to report shall
be dropped from the service.

SALE OF ESPERANCA
EMBROIDERIES FRIDAY
Attractive Exhibition At Carvel Hall
Friday, December 6. Varied And
Beautiful Assortment

A considerable proportion of An
napolis will be interested in the an
nouncement that particularly at
anca embroideries will be held at Car
vel Hall on Friday, December 6. The
sale will be similar to that which
proved so successful two winters ago
in Annapolis, which was also held at
Carvel Hall in the sun parlor, which
Miss Jessup has again kindly loaned
for the purpose.
These embroideries, as already
known here, are the work of spe-
cially trained colony of the native wo-
men of Madeira, which Miss Lazinka
Turner. wealthy and philanthropic
woman, formerly of st. Louis, has es-
tablished upon her estate, the Villa
Esperanca, on the island, to provide
them with a means of livelihood to
counteract the terrible conditions and
threatened starvation which they have
faced during the past four years.
Although the proceeds of the sales
go directly back to these women, the
sales are conducted upon strictly
business, rather than a charitable
basis. The objects offered are in
themselves so exclusive, reasonably
priced and altogether desirable that
the demand is always far in advance
of the supply. This is especially the
case upon the present occasion as
owing to the difficulties both in ship
ping and securing materials, only an
exceedingly limited amount of goods
has been sent over to this country
during the present year.
The present assortment includes
principally beautiful display of the
new much needed house and table
linens; small pillows; handkerchief
cases, pincushion covers, matinees,
infants wear, &c. They are in white
only, upon the finest materials, and
exquisitely handworked in exclusively
designed patterns. Miss Sarah Har-
rison Powell, of Baltimore. who con-
