SHARES HALTED
Governing Committee of the
Stock Exchanges Tempo
rari!y SuspendS Dealing in
Auto Securities.


New York. March 31.--Further
dealings in Stutz Motor shares, one
of the recent meteoric features of
the sock exchange, were tempo
rarily suspended by special act of
governors of the exchange after
the close of today's session.
This applies not only to trading
on the floor of the exchange, but
also to private transactions between
members outside of the exchange,
and is without precedent in the his
tory of that institution. The. gov
erning committee made no eXpla-
nation.
Stutz has been the most conspic-
rising from 1913 1-2, it final price
on March 6, to 391 at the close of
today's trading. The advance has
been steady, at daily gains of 10
to almost 80 points.
Approximately 10000 shares
have changed hands on the rise,
or about 10000 shares more than
the entire issue. This is not unusual
in itself, as many active stocks are
turned over several times in excess
of their total issue during an ac-
tive period. running into several
weeks or more.
Stutz is said to be controlled by
Allan A. Ryan, head of the bank
ing house of A. A, Ryan & Co. Mr.
Ryan is president of the company
and active in its management. No
statement was obtainable from the
Ryan interests other than that they
knew nothing of any attempt to
corner" the stock, which they
said had been available for buying
or 1oaning purposes throughout its
advance.
Stock exchange gossip has asso-
ciated the sensational rise of Stutz
with reports that a prominent steel
man went heavily short of the
stock some 200 points under to-
days record quotation, and that he
was being squeezed" by those in
control of the property.
There were other rumors that
Stutz and several motor specialties
by Ryan and his friends
were to be taken into a huge con-
of motor interests in
process of organization by one of
the leading automobile companies
