New York. Feb. 25.-Irregularity
characterized trading in the stock
market today Profit-making appeared
in some of those issues which have re-
Gently been prominent for their
strength. but the close of the general
eraI commission houses declared that
a general effort seems to be in prog
ress in some quarters to talk the mar
ket down, but offerings of stocks are
light.
The light reaction which occurred
during the early session was consid-
cred natural in view Of the upward
movement OF more than a week and
the fact that the market became duh
around The low level today was &C.
cepted as a distinct indication that
the upward movement had not culml-
ated.
Some commission houses were ed-
vising their customers TO keep one eye
on the money market and one eye on
the tape in view OF the rise on Mon
day in call money rates. They also re-
minded customers Of the period OF re-
adjustment in business which must be
experienced in the immediate future.
At the same time, however. they eX-
pressed belief that stocks have dis
counted to large extent. il not en-
tirely. the reduction in the price of
commodities which is expected to take
place in the near future.
The same brokers were advising
their clients TO pick up stocks cau-
tiously.
Renewal OF buying was witnessed III
the motor group. Studebaker was at
the front of the advance with a rise
Of more than four points.
Like n bot out OF a clear sky. an
nOuncement was made half an hour
before the market closed on one OF
the Wall Street news tiCkcrs that the
international Mercantile Marine deal
was off. At the time OF this announce
the preferred stock sold at lOl. The
next sale consisted OF 800 shares al
l"1. From that level heavy offerings
caused a preCipitatc break to 96 3-S
There was practically no demand for
the shares except from shorts. There
was much jeeTinE on the floor of the
Stock Exchange when the news be
came known. The announcement
made by the Wall Street ticker was
not clear as to whether the deal Just
abandoned represented negotiations
with the British interests or with the
United States Shipping Board

Many Persons Living In
District Are Not Resi-

Thousands OF persons residing ut
the District OF Columbia are not lIN-

the Columbia Historical Society at "a

ni2ht
Congress. through conflicting lvEiS-
latiuu. has igrElcd tn" words. Dis

government and city OF Washington,

outside the geographical lines OF the
old city OF Washington and the an
cicnt city Of Georgetown. are within
the District Of Columbia. but have no
citizenship as residents OF the city OF
Washington and the Federal capital.
Or. Tindall asserted.
Suggests Legal Definition.
Dr. TindalI. was for many wears.
secretary OF the Board of District
commissioners. and Is rated ~ An
expert on historical matters affecting
Washington.
The remedy which he suggested for
this paradoNical situation would be
the enactment of a law prescribing
that all the territory which was ceded
to the Congress OF the United States
10y the State OF Maryland. for the
seat OF government OF the United
States is the site of the jurisdictional
capital of the United States and Is
hereby named the District OF Wash
ingtOn.
"Couceding as We have that Con-
eress." he said. by the act OF June
II, 1>1S. named the territory embraced
in the seat of government the DIS
trict Of Columbia" no subsequent act
has changed that status as affecting
the entire area of the seat of gov
eminent: but Congress, IN naming
part OF the seat of government the
Federal Capital which 1t constituted
10y the consolidation of ancient
Georgetown with the city OF Wash
/ ington under the latter name, has left
the people who reside in the portion
of the seat of government. outside OF
that city mere District Of Columbians.
while the residents Of the rest OF the
District have a double civic Gtizcn-
ship as residents both Of tho District
Of Columbia and OF the Federal Cap

the principol topics among those VINO

considerable discussion among busi-

now before Congress and Secretary
Glass is at present only tentative.
In commenting this morning upon the
plan TO issue notes running from one

10000 in place Of victory bonds, a
financial leader OF large eperience
said:
whether these obligations OF the
government are to be called notes or
bonds makes but little difference. To
the obligations might be applied the
line Of Shakespeare in which he said.
"A rose by any other name would
smell as sweet" Bonds represent OBJ
legations OF the government which
bear interest and have n fixed life.
So also with notes. The d distinction
