NEW YORK, June 9-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today says:
The usual weekend accumulation or
buying orders, that is piling up over
Sunday as usual since the bull mar
ket began, did not materialize. On the
contrary such buying as there was at
the outset was more than offset by
realizing sales. There were indeed
strong spots and fairly consistent
uEdertone of strength but in sharp
contrast to this there was decided
weakness at intervals among those
specialties and speculative favorites
which had been pushed forward the
most aggressively.
The steel group was barely steady
and Marines also until they took a
sudden squirt just before the close.
American International and Atlantic,
Gulf were reactionary to a degree,
the latter declining more than seven
points at one time. The feathers
were likewise weak. Strong spots
were not wholly wanting, however.

HIS WISHES ARE
COMPLIED WITH
Arthur Jones Chooses Very Good
Crime to Which to Plead Guilty
From an Assortment
Available.

Arthur Jones, who was arrested
several weeks ago in the drag-net
after the Englehardt burglary, with
a piece of heavy artillery concealed
ON his person. and who has been
held in durance vile at the county
Jail since his arrest. has decided
that he wants to plead guilty to some
charge and get his sentence.
Jones called Sheriff Scott down to
his cell the other day and wanted to
know If he would permit him to plead
guilty to carrying concealed weapons
County Attorney McManus was OF
the opinion that Jones had his own
case diagnosed about right, and will
follow his suggestions in the matter
and will file information to that eff
feet against him.
But from the experiences Of some
others who have been convicted for
that offense, 1t is probable that
Jones will prolong his stay in Jail
for some time yet.
