THE Week N THE
DISTRICT COURT

Tie jury which at the date of our
last issue was hearing the case of the
People against Charles johnson on a
charge of branding with intent to
steal a calf said to belong to Charles
Sawyer, disagreed, and johnson was
set free for the present.
Following the johnson case came
the case against John Jayne Of Divide
creek, charged with improper conduct
toward his own daughter, and jury
returned verdict of guilty.
In the case OF the Peopie versus
Harry Clayton of Grand Valley, charg-
ed with stealing So boxes of Johna-
than apples from the Morrisania Fruit
and Land company while Clayton was
in the employee of the company load ng
cars, the jury, late Thursday night
returned a verdict of not guilty.
During lull in the procedure early
in the week Jesse Dore and Oscar
Whitlock appeared in court and each
entered plea of guilty to the charge
of having in his possession intoxicat-
ing liquor as charged in grand jury
Indictment. The court fined each Of
these defendants $l25 and costs. We'd
nesday evening at the close of court
Margaret Welsh, alias Pauline Rowley
came into court and entered a plea of
guilty to selling liquor, contrary to
law, during the Armistice Day cele
bration last fall. This was also
case where true bill had been re-
turned by the grand jury Judge Shu-
mate fined the woman $50 and costs.
She claimed inability to pay the fine
and costs and gave bond for the same,
with James Ford and Ernest Mang-
nall as sgIrities.
| Friday morning Theodore Moore,
who short time ago was convicted
by jury of having stolen good in
his possession, in connection with the
burglary of the Sparks cabin, came
before the court for sentence Judge
Shumate sentenced the boy to the
state reformatory at Buena Vista, but
suspended sentence during good behav-
Tor, requiring Teddy to report his ac-
tivities TO F. A. Mechau once a week,
and to the court and to Father Carri-
gan once month. Judge Shumate
gave the young man some good advice
and assured him that he was willing
that he should redeem himself, hence
the order placing him on trial to this
extent.
As the Post goes to press the case
of o. NJ. WINNER against Thomas Nc
Nulty and Gardner Bros. is being heard
by a jury. This is case wherein the
plaintiff sues to collect from the de
PENDANTS on a promissory note given
in payment for an automobile which
the defendants allege was worthless,
alleging also that the note was obtain
ed upon false representations. Noonan
and Noonan are attorneys for the
plaintiff, and M. J. Mayes represents
the defendants.

Stocks Tumble as
Urgent Liquidation
Hits the Market
Heavy Losses Are Recorded
When Low Money Rate
and Increase i'm Steel Or
ders Fail to Check Selling

Liquidation Of large volume and Of
the most urgent character yesterday
swept over the stock market toward the
end Of a session marked by steady SELL
ing and in few minutes carried prices
of majority Of the active railroad and
industrial stocks down to the lowest
levels Of the year. When the gong
sounded the end of trading for The day
prices were weakest and no Indication
Of any abatement In the liquidation
was discernible. The closing average
price Of thirty representative industrial
stocks was 9093, against 94.77 tie day
before and 1898 at the peak of the
boom last November. The average
price Of twenty railroad stocks was
1855, against 61.60 the day before and
a high for last year of 1880.
Not single active stock escaped the
effects of yesterdays heavy selling and
losses Of from to points were the
rule. In the more active issues tho
losses ranged up to 185s points. This
tabls shows the extent of the decline
in some important industrial issues
yesterday and since the peak of the
boom last year

Bears PLAY Leading Role

Professional traders, the same croWd
which has been working successfully
on the short side for several days, ar
gued yesterday that when the market
would not go up on good news 1t ought
to 20 down. SO they PLAYED their hand
accordingly, and went after the wnoie
market hammer and tongs when q lo
per cent renewal rate, the lowest since
last month, and the splendid statement
of the United States Steel Corporation,
showing an increase Of 100000 tons
in untitled orders in January, failed to
buying for The advance. When
money dropped to 8 per cent before
noon, and later to 6 per cent, where ~
was in rather free supply, half
hearted rally started, but it did not
carry much of a punch. That gave the
bears another opportunity for pound
ing the list in the half hour, when
many stocks developed the weakest tone
since the smash Of last week. General
Motors was the particular target.
Twice on recent days the Durrant issue
has been knocked down to 258. Up to
yesterday that was the dead line. but
the selling in the afternoon carried the
stock below that level to we'll under 25o.

More Frozen Credit

Much of the credit trouble besetting
the financial mart is blamed by mem
ber of one OF the greatest private bank
ing houses in the country to the bur
densome excess profits and surtaxe :.
The onerous taxes he said yestcr-
day. "have killed the investment mar
kets. Corporations cannot sell bonds.
because people of means cannot afford
to buy them on the basis of current tax
levles. There you have situation that
has led to the freezing up Of large
amounts of banking credit, for the cor
porations which have been unable to
sell their securities have had to borrow
on temporary loans from their banks
This has increased the floating h.
debtedness of many of our large cor
porations, and at the same time has
added to the load Of our BANKS. Unde,.
normal conditions we would have an
investment market that would make il
possible for such loans to be raised
through the sale of long-term securi-
ties to the investment public. But that
is out OF the question now"

Steel News Favorable

1t was a striking anomaly that on q
day when the Street read all sorts or
favorable news about the state Of the
steel industry that United States Steel
common stock should break to the low
est price since early last year. The
extraordinary tonnage showing of the
was only one of number
of developments. That in itself was
remarkable, for it indicated that the
gain in untitled orders of the corpora
ton in two months was we'll in excess
of 100000 tons, the largest increase
on record for such a period. Advices
from Pennsylvania were to- the effect
that the Carnegie Steel Company broke
the monthly record for small billet
production in January, the best pre-
vious record having been made in De-
cember. Another trade report was to
the effect that a sale of standard basic
pig iron had been made at SAB a ton
at the furnace, new high record for
the advancing price movement. Every
blast furnace of the Shenango Valley
with a single exception is operating.
The decline in Steel common to 967s
yesterday put it 91s points below the
price at which it was recently offered
to the employees for subscription.
New-York tribune., 1920-02-11

The Generalization which caused
yesterdays wide breaks did not de-
velop in its full force until late in the
day. During the earlier trading prices
had moved back and forth in erratic
fashion, small rallies succeeding small
decline and without any very definite
price trend discernible. Money opened
and renewed at 10 per cent, the lowest
renewal rate for some time, and there
after declined to 6 per cent. This at
first brought In little buying from
spectators who thought that since
tight money had been largely respons-
ible for the decline, easing of the rate
ought to produce q rally. But when
the market failed to respond favorably
to this buying and to report showing
an enormous increase in untitled orders
on the books of the United States Steel
Corporation, there was a rush to sell.
Professional traders unloaded their
holdings in large blocks, and prices be-
gan to tumble. This served to increase
the liquidation from outside sources,
thus increasing the pressure. Hurried
calls for more margin were sent out
and brokers said that the response to
such calls was by no means as ready as
on other recent occasions. Some hold
ers, discouraged by the steady shrink
age in the quoted values of their Sc
curities. sold rather than put up more
funds. 1t was also stated that for the
first time substantially selling of se-
curities which had been paid for in
full was in evidence.
Short selling contributed to the
weakness of the market at times, but
on the whole the operations Of the
shorts were on the constructive side,
for covering furnished a substantial
part Of such support as was received.
A notable feature of the market was
that the railroad group displayed the
greatest weakness seen at any time
this year. The threatened strike was
probably largely responsible for this.
