New York

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE many
substantial gains made by yesterday's
less active but orderly stock market
were regarded as an outward express
sion Of the more cheerful mood OF
financial interests. no less than the
better sentiment which prevailed in
speculative CIRCLES.
Further Generalization in the for
eign exchange market, with francs at
new low record, was almost the
sole disgusting feature, but even that
acute situation failed to exert a ma.
teriai influence over the stock mar
ret, leaders finishing at or near max
mum quotations OF the Gay.
In numerous instances one-half to
two-thirds OF losses sustained In the
eariy days Of the week were regain
ed, while several active issues, no
tably United States Rubber, United
Retail Stores, Lorillard Tobacco and
crucsble Steel, were variahly over
last weeks final prices.
Advances among rails ranged from
to 4 points but in the various In :.
dustrials and specialties, also ship
ping and food issues. gains ran from
3 10 10 points. Sales amounted to l.
$1,000 shares.

Suspect Held By Boston Po- lice Will Fight Extra

i: The New Britain National Bank. is the loser of S550, through a check scheme worked by fellow who signed his name II. J. Hope, and who is being sought by the authorities in various cities of the United States as well as Canada. The local police, on receiving word of the swindle, start ed the wheels Of justice in operation, and today they received word from Boston that Charles Neville of Au- gusta, Ga, had been taken into GUS today. Sergeant Richardson and one of the bank officials will go to Bos- ton tom orroW to see if they can iden- tify the accused. Neville has an- nounced his intention of fighting ex- tradition.
 On March 3. a stranger announcing himself as H. J. Hope. called at the bank and opened up an account He presented credentials showing that he did business with the Second National Bank of Boston. At that time he de- posted $1,50O to his account He called at the bank at various times and in his conversation with en- ployes conveyed the i'm impression that he was engaged in the real estate DuSl1lSSo I1S NOuIu utpOS1I large sums and withdraw them at times, and his business at the bank was said to always have been legitimate
 On last Monday Hope presented 8 check from Charles Neville at the bank, which was endorsed by that in stitution for S550, receiving the money. When the check returned q from the clearing house it was found that Neville had no funds in the Citi- zen's and Southern Bank of Augusta, Ga, on whose account it was drawn. Hope prior to this action had with drew his entire account of $500 from the local bank, leaving the $550 which he received on the Neville check, "velVet''
 With the word of the worthless check came the information that both Neville and Hope were much wanted bank swindlers for which the Pinker- ton and Burns detective agencies have | been searching for some time.
 Detective Richardson searched the room of Hope i'll the Hotel Grand, and, found several telegrams, torn up. l By patching them together, informa- l tion was received that showed that 1 the principals have worked their 1 scheme in Montreal and other cities ! in Canada. |.

They pointed to the promise of support given by the cable spIicers. The splicers, numpeflhS several hundred, notified the New England Telephone management yes terday that they would quit work to- dav nn1ess their wage schedule, pre- scnt,cd some months ago, was imme- diately acted upon.
