FLORIDA CASE is UNSETTLED
[By Associated Prcssl

CHICAGO. June Another slow
going session. with little progress in
actual results, marked the work OF
the Republican National Committee
today in its course of deciding the
Claims of contesting delegations.
The seating OF two regularly re-
ported delegates from the District OF
Columbia, said to be favorable 10
Major-Gencral Leonard Wood. and an
extended hearing OF the Georgia con-
test Involving delegates pledged to
Wood and another group counted as
favorable to Lowden, was the prin-
cipal business Oft the day. At the
same time the committee declined TO
reopen its action OF year ago by
which it seated Emile Kuntz. of New
Orleans. as national committeeman
from Louisiana. The appeal OF Frank
Z. Lsbit, of New Iberia, was denied
UnfnvorabIe to Church Delegation.
AT the outset OF todays session the
committee expected to hear the repor,
of subcommittee and close up the
threc-cornered fight from Florida
which was begun on Monday. But tho
questions OF law and fact turned out
TO be SO voluminous that the com.

ciusion II was prepared to report to-
day was that the Florida delegates
headed by y. l.. Church, OF jackson

mittee could act
AS to the contest between the recu-
lariy reported faction led by Nationa,
committeeman Bean and the other
headed by H. l.. Anderson, of Jack
sonville, the subcommittee recon-
mcnded a rehcarinE. which probably
will come up tomorrow.

The Georgia contest, looked unor
as the first real contest of actual
political significance and having \
bearing on the strength of the Wood
or Lownen men, drew a large au-
dlence. of which large number
were Southern negroes. The contes,
opened with n dash of oratory, and
was continued with considerable fury
and at the end of four hot hours. the
committee found itself confronted
with such mass OF conflictinG

Henry Lincoln Johnson, an Atlanta
negro, heads the regularly reported
delegation. which is said to be count
ed IN the lIowden column. The con-
testing delegation known as the
Pickett faction, is pledged to General
Wood. The action OF the committee
means seventeen seats for Wood or
Lowden. and n decision Is expected
tomorrow. The contest ranges about
charges OF bolt, but the national
committee decided 1t would have TO
study the evidence to decide who
bolted. Duplicate convention rolls
and credentials figured in the mass
of evidence.

The stock market last week relapsed
into purely professional affair in
which the traders who make their liv-
ing out of wrapping stocks dominated
the dealings. The public, which in the
last analysis must be depended upon
for any sustained upward movement in
stock prices, has remained merely an
onlooker. Moreover, the prospects Of
bringing about a greater public partici-
patton IN the immediate future are not
promising. The times certainly do not
appear propitious for q revival Of a bull
speculation on large scale, Whether
the recent fall in stock prices has fully
discounted impending DEVELOPMENTS in
business remains to be seen.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1920-05-10

Signs OF the change that is taking
place in the business world were ampha-
sized last week by number Of striking
developments. It is, of course, too early
vet TO say that the high water mark has
been reached in the rising tide of com
modify prices, but there is evidence 10
show that manufacturers and merchants
are much less confident than 3 few
weeks ago in their ability to 90 on mark
ing prices up without bringing about a
slackening in demand In fact. indica-
tons are appearing that the public is
not spending so freely; that high prices
are beginning in many lines to check
extravaganza. Many reasons can be
found why prices should recede from the
present level, not the least of which is
if the defiation policy of the Federal Re
serve Board is beginning to be reflected
IN the lending operations of the member
banks and that institutions outside the
system are being influenced also. What
IS perhaps equally important is the rec
ignition on the part of the larger indus
trial interests that the time has come
when halt must be called to check the
rising spiral of prices and labor. Be-
sides this, the public ia not so well SUD-
piled with funds as it was q few months
ago This has made it Impossible for a
large element in the country to follow
prices any further up. Probably the
best feature Of the whole movement
from the viewpoint of those who desire
q return to more stable conditions Of
merchandising Is the growing disincli-
nation on the part of great mass Of the
public to buy goods at e1travagantlv
high prices. A development last week
in the business world which may be re-
sarded as highly significant of the trend
was the action Of one of the largest re.
failing stores In the country announc.
ing 20 per cent cut in prices on its
merchandise. Its full effect upon the
general business trend is yet to be seen.
but there are indications that the psy-
Geological reaction has been farreacbing
already.

The trend of industrial bonds during
the last week was toward slightly lower
prices. and railroad bonds remained viz
tually unchanged at the low level to
which they have descended The sugpes-
ton was made by railroad bankers be-
fore the Senate Interstate Commerce
Commission last Friday that the liquida-
ton of commodity loans might make
available larger supply of funds to
finance the needs of the railroads. AS
the New York financiers explained. the
roads of high credit standing ought to
bc able 10 get funds 10 meet their most
pressing needs. But the roads Of lesser
standing viii find difficulty in winning
dollars from investors. And, since the
;nefflciency of the railroads is regarded
as perhaps the main bar to greater pro
duction, The requirements Of the rail
roads must be satisfied with full recog-
milton of the broad national situation.

Wall Street has found the supply of
call money sufficient during the last few
days to cover it's speculative needs, and
the rate has held around 7 per cent.
The demand for money is of course less
than 1t was because of the smaller vol
une Of business. Besides the railroads
are beginning to move freight again.
thus releasing goods and making pos
sible liquidation of credits tied 10 in
merchandise, The easier condition in
the call money market does not reflect,
however, the broader aspects Of the
credit situation.
Improvement in the outlook for the
railroads through recent constructive
legislation and formal application for
increased freight rates is yet to be felt
in the market for railroad securities.
Rail shares, aside from temporary
fiurries from time to time. are
almost neglected. Railroad bonds are
not attracting much demand, even
at present low levels, Judging from
the current price trend VIII there
be revival of interest in railroad
securities? Wall Street thinks so, but
is not clear when it will come. One Of
the most active floor traders on the
Stock Exchange. however, insists that
we shall enjoy broad market in the
rails before the end OF the current year.
Certainly q boom in the railroad stocks
would help at this time when the roads
are in great need of new capital for
equipment and extensions and better
ments.
