Prices Decline
Under Wave of
Selling ON Curb
Heavy Liquidation Follows
Recession Caused by Pro-
fessional Offerings; Oil
Shares Drop, Fail to Rally

1t was another day Of declining
prices in the curb market yesterday
where there was renewal Of liquida-
tion. This sort of selling for the short
account forced substantial recessiona.
Oils again suffered severely.
Much of the selling yesterday came
from outside traders who had carried
their stocks through the decline Of
last week in hopes that q turn for the
better would come soon to let them out
at q higher figure. But when the
market gave way Sharply again under
such holders finally gave up hope and
let their stock 60 by the board. Incl
dentally taking big losses as = result
Of the continued decline.
Sentiment in the outside market has
reached such condition that it would
take "a good deal, observers say, to
bring about increased buying power
sufficient to bring about any important.
Improvement. A rally on the technical
position is looked for, but it is not ex
pected to go far.
Houston Oil suffered again yesterday
in the drive against the oils, closing at
1903, off points net. Carib Syndicate
dropped to 80 and closed at the bot
tom. Simms Petroleum, which had raj
lied we'll on Monday, broke from AZ to
SO and did not come back. White Oil
was in the same position
General Asphalt was the weakest
spot in the industrial development,
breaking to S3. new low for the
movement. At that price it was off
nearly a hundred points from its top
figure of 1919 The decline yesterday
from the high amounted to IL points.
Armour Leather was traded in on
"when issued" basis at range Of 1712
to l6A, closing at II. General Mo
tors when issued touched a new low
record of 26, closing a fraction up from
that figure.
In the bond market $4,000 of the
new General Electric 6 per cent deben-
lures of 1910 changed hands. going at
94A to 81 and closing at 94H. They
we're offered to the public at 94}a.

stock sold recently as low as $25 a
share. The weakness of the general
market has caused this. The latest in
formation is that the company plans
extensive developments. 1t already has
factories in operation in the United
States, China, England, Egypt and Can
ada. Sales and profits arc said to be
at the high-water mark. Almost all
stocks are affected by such conditions
as have recently prevailed. High
money and generally disturbed condi-
tions cause liquidation in the stock

"Cross Selling"

Question: would highly appreciate in
formation on the actual mechanics Of stock
to cross selling Some time ago I pur-
chased 200 shares Of stock on the Boston
curb leaving orders to sell at 90 cents A
few days later $500 shares were reported
sold at from 20 cents to 22 cents, and yet
my broker informed that 1s cents was
the highest | could have obtained on that
day. Gross selling" the explanation
ii manipulator orders stock at 20 cents
from one broker and sells the same stock
to another broker at 20 cents how does
it happen that he buys his own stock in
stead OF that offered by the public at 20
cents When II consolidation of several
regulates the rate of exchange between
shares OF the individual corporations and
tho shares OF the consolidated corporation {?
DO the stockholders have any direct voice in
the matter? In general, which would you
consider the best source for advice and in
formation such as assets, liabilities, working
capital earnings. etc. in regard to con-
corn whose securities were being considered
as an Investments bank or brokerage
house &c. S. H.
Answer-Crossing stock is usually a
means of creating large transactions
IN order to attract the attention of the
public. 1t is not allowed on any repu-
table exchange, unless a broker actu-
ally has an order from a customer to
buy and from another to sell at prices
consistent with the price prevailing at
the time Of execution A better name
for it is Wash Sales" 1T must have
been rather crude for any one to
wash stock" on the Boston curb at
prices above those at which real stock
was offered. The reason your stock
was not taken was because the purpose
was to create activity without having
to take any stock. Stockholders should,
of course, have q vote on any plan
such as you set forth, eanless the direc-
tors are already given such power.
Most reputable brokers are able to
give you all the information you de sjre
regarding assets, etc. We should not
call this advice

In Event Of Default

Ques estion-.What position would INTERIOR
ough Rapid Transit refunding bs be in in
the event Of q default and the throwing Of
the system into receivership or in the event
of the city taking over the lines? In the
former case, would recevership automat-
ically release the company from any guar
anty it had previously given such as guar
anty of rental on Manhattan Elevated or
would this guaranty take precedence
bond interest? Ir the city took over the
property would it have to take care of
bonds TT. c.
Answer Should the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company fail to live up
to it's guaranty of the Manhattan Elc-
waited. the latter would operate sepa-
rately and would probably obtain
Judgment against the former company.
This in itself would have no effect upon
the bonds OF the Interborough Com
pany. 1t might precipitate receiver
ship. In that event the bondholders
would run the property, continuing the
leas. with the city. The only thing
which could abrogate this lease would
be the failure on the part Of the COM
pany to pay its taxes and interest on
certain city bonds. This is very re-
mote. In all probability the bondhold-
ers' committee would negotiate with the
eiH c;tv l' For a satisfactory plan whereby
the road could be operated successfully.
The bondholders would not have to
worry about the equity at present be-
, hind the bonds. That is the reason
whv the Interborough Consolidated was
willing to loan the lnterborough Rapid
Transit Company large amount of
money on January last in order that
the latter company might meet its in
ersst charge a"tp On in the dase hfS
is the stock of the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company, deposited under the
Interborough metropolitan Az per cent
bonds. 1t would appear, then, that the
position Of the bondholders. particu-
! iarly in consideration of the fact that
the bonds now sell for so per cent OF
! their full value. is not SO bad.

GIRL SIGHT RESTORED
MIRACLE BELIEVED TO HAVE
BEEN. PERFORMED IN ST. .s
..>''. =. " ANN's CHURCH. 49,

According to the Rev. John II.
Southwick, assistant. pastor of ST.
AIMS Church, New York City, a mir
aculOus occurrence was enacted before
his eyes at twenty minutes past noon
on January -
When Rita Cusack, five years old,
of Brooklyn, went into the church
with her mother leading her, her eyes
were crossed and she was partly
blinded. When she came out of the
church, half hour later, her eyes
were straight and she said she could
see ''everything."
According to Father Southwick, the
change was due to the faith of the
child and the application of first one
eye and then the other to the relic
belonging to the church, which is said
to be bone of St. Ann.
AS soon as the mother looked into
the eyes of her child and discovered
they were straight, the woman became
hysterical and priests assisted her to
the rear Of the church.
Asked if he believed the child was
cured instantly, Father Southwick
said: II certainly do, because I saw
the occurrence myself"

THE IRISH BONDS
NEW YORK SUBSCRIBERS OVER
$4,000, 900 FOR THE IRISH LOAN.

Governor. Alfred E. Smith, in a let
ter read at a mass meeting held in
New York January IS, and presided
over by canon de Valera, president
of the Irish republic, expressed re-
greet that he was unable to be present
when the freedom of the city. of New
York was conferred on De Valera.
de Valera should have the SYM
pathy of all liberty-loving Americans
in his fight for the freedom of Ireland,
Governor Smith said.
Commander-in-Chief Warren Shaw
Fisher of the United War Veterans
pledged the support of his comrades
ito the cause of Ireland
1t was announced that $2,550,000
had been subscribed in New York to
the Irish loan.
Present at the meeting were James
.O'Mara and James T.. Burke, mem
bers of the Dali Eireann or Irish
parliament who we're said to have
reached the United States in the same
manner as did De Valera.

JOBLtSS SOLDIERS
10000 VETERANS IN 81 CITIES
WITHOUT JOBS, X. OF c.
FIND.

A survey of the number of former
service men unemployed the first two
weeks of 1920 has just been completed
by Daniel J. Sullivan, director of the
Eastern Northeastern division of the
Knights of Columbus employment
service. Twenty-seven cities are COW
cred in his report, which shows that
more than 10000 former veterans in
these places are unemployed, New
York leading with the largest number,
which is 1000
Many reasons are advanced for this
seemingly large number of unem-
ployed soldiers. A great number of
them had been given temporary en-
ployment during the holiday season:
others have been placed in positions
in which they found they were in
capable of advancing, and a small
number of men never have been given
an opportunity to fill vacancy.

PASSAGE TO INDIA
JESUiTS TO ENTER FOREIGN MIS-

Some time ago information was re-

tiers at Saint Louis University to the
effect that the Missouri Province of
the Society of Jesus had extended it's
labors in the foreign missions by the
addition of a large territory in East
India. 1t is now announced that tbs
Fathers from the middle west VINO
will be sent to India are Reverend
Edward P. Anderson, Reverend Will
liam J. Eline, Reverend Henry P.
Milet, Reverend Patrick J. Troy, Rev
erend Charles A. Meehan and Rev.
erend Thomas A. Kelly.
These men will leave various fields
of labor in the states to take up their
new work. Father Meehan is at pres
ent engaged on the home missions,
Fathers Eline and Troy are teaching
at Saint Mary's, Kansas, Father Kelly
was formerly on the Honduras mis-.
sion, while Fathers Anderson and Mi
let were but recently, discharged from
the U. S. Army. The date of de-
parture of these Fathers for their for.
eign labors has not as yet been an
nounced.

THE MERCEDAR|ANS
SAID TO HAVE GIVEN FIRST
PRIEST TO SAY MASS IN
AMERICA.

A General Chapter of the Merceda-
rian Order has recently been held in
Rome. The founder of this religious
Congregation was st. Peter Nolasco,
whose feasting falls on January 81. He
was born in 1883. 1t is told that this
Saint behld vision of Our Blessed
Lady, who pointed out to him the sad
lot of the Christians who were prison
ers at the hands of the Moors, and
this inspired ST.. Peter with the idea of
founding an Order for their redemp-
ton. On the same day st. Raymond
of Pennafort and King jaime of Spain
were also favored with like apart
ton.
The Order was founded in August,
1918. In 1920 it received Papal ap-
probation. From the very first the
members sought to succor their neigh
bors, both spiritually and temporarily.
The Order spread throughout Spain
and France. 1t can count within its
ranks two martyrs-Blessed Othon
and Matthias Mare. Blessed Raymond
of Toulouse, st. Nathalia, and
Blessed Anthony Tremouilleres were
likewise Mercedarians. The Order was
also represented amongst the com.
panions Of Christopher Columbus. 1t
was Mercedarian religious, Father
Jean Infante, who is said to have Gel
ebrated the first Mass on the Ameri-
can continent.

At NOTRE DAME

The Notre Dame Service club has
completed plans to erect monument
to the Al Notre Dame men who died in
the service during the war. There are
approximately five hundred eX-service
men now at Notre Dame, including
the 10 knights of Columbus scholar
ship winners.
Prof. Francis w. Kervick and
students in the architectural school at
Notre Dame have sent a collection of
their works to the South American
architectural exposition to be held in
Montevideo, Uruguay in early spring
Architects and students in all parts of
the world will be represented Par
ticular interest will be attached to the
Notre Dame display, however, because
of the fact that majority of the
South American students who go
abroad to study matriculate at Notrc
Dame.
